To All The Men I've Loved Before - Shirley Bassey (1984 Recording)
1984/1986 (Here is another mid-1980's single by Shirley Bassey titled, 'To All The Men I've Loved Before'. This song was originally written as 'To All The Girls I've Loved Before, and it was a hit for Julio Iglesias and Willie Nelson.
This song was recorded before digital CD format came into existence, and because Towerbell Records went out of business, this song along with all Shirley's 1980's Towerbell recordings are only available via second hand outlets in vinyl format. It took many attempts to move this track from my record player to a MP3 file trying to obtain the best sound possible, and I think it plays well. I kept trying to clean the record to remove the embedded dust, then it would only play the left side....then it would only play the right side. Finally....success! I can't believe that was how we used to listen to music!
ABOUT this song:
"To All the Girls I've Loved Before" is a song originally sung by Albert Hammond, but more famous for a 1984 cover by singers Julio Iglesias and Willie Nelson, which appeared on Iglesias's album 1100 Bel Air Place. A breakthrough for Iglesias in the English language market, the song peaked at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #1 on the RPM Top Singles. "To All the Girls I've Loved Before" went to number one on the country chart, and was one of two entries on the country chart for Julio Iglesias and Willie Nelson as duo (the second was "Spanish Eyes", which peaked at #8 in late 1988).
It was Iglesias' biggest hit in the United States and Canada, and Nelson's biggest European hit. The record also appeared on Australian, New Zealand and South African charts. The song has become Iglesias's signature English-language tune, prominently performed at his concerts since the single's release. Thanks to this song, 1100 Bel Air Place became Iglesias' world-wide best selling album. In 1984, Nelson and Iglesias were also named "Duo of the year" by the Country Music Association, and "To All the Girls I've Loved Before" was named single of the year by the Academy of Country Music.
LYRICS:
To all the men I've loved before
Who travelled in and out my door
I'm glad they came along
I dedicate this song
To all the men I've loved before
To all the men I once caressed
And may I say I've held the best
For helping me to grow
I owe a lot I know
To all the men I've loved before
The winds of change are always blowing
And every time I try to stay
The winds of change continue blowing
And they just carry me away
To all the men who shared my life
Who wanted me to be their wife
I'm glad they came along
I dedicate this song
To all the men I've loved before
To all the men who cared for me
Who filled my nights with ecstasy
They live within my heart
I'll always be a part
Of all the men I've loved before
