A coalminer's daughter from South Wales, Bonnie Tyler cut her teeth on stage
when she was a teenager singing with Bobby Wayne & the Dixies having previously
been runner-up in a talent contest performing Mary Hopkin's Those Were The Days.
Tyler went on to form her own pub band Imagination, changing her name to Sherene
Davies (adopting the names of her niece and aunt) before securing a deal with
RCA and changing her name again, this time to Bonnie Tyler. She had her first
hit Lost In France in 1976 followed by the album The World Starts Tonight.
