Her voice is the result of a throat operation for nodules. At first, it was kind of a shock for the musicians she was working with, but they decided to take the lemons and make lemonade. It worked well for her. Her accent is because she is from Wales.

[@lambo90dmc12]

She was also supposed to be on vocal rest after the surgery which she didn’t listen to and permanently damaged her vocal chords. I wonder if she would have had that same success if her voice was different.

[@hungfao]

@Len Kutchma Similar surgeries were performed on Stevie Nicks and the late-great Tom Petty. She became goat-like and he acquired a sharp rasp.

[@SweetThing]

@@hungfao - part of Stevie's voice going down the drain was cocaine use. Her dr. said she had to quit sniffing the coke, because the cartilage in her nose was just about ready to collapse and if she didn't stop the coke, she was going to have a hole in her nose. Vanity won out... Stevie confirmed this in an interview..

[@popland1977]

@@hungfao Similiar surgeries were done on Chaka Khan, Judy Collins and Rod Stewart and they weren't left damaged

[@hungfao]

@@popland1977 That is nice to know but kind of irrelevant. However, it is known that Rod Stewart's rasp is a result of the surgery.

Along the same line of a strong raspy female voice, I would ask you to try "Betty Davis Eyes" by Kim Carnes.

[@personalcheeses8073]

Kim Carnes is a classy Bonnie Tyler

[@personalcheeses8073]

Jeff S Bonnie Tyler class? You are killing me 😂😂😂

[@Bikebrh]

I think when she went under the knife for her throat surgery (for nodules) she probably thought her career was over. Little did she know that it would actually give her a unique voice that would actually MAKE her career. It gave her a tone that could make her sound like she was crying while she was singing, which is a skill very few singers have. All of her hits came after the surgery.

[@kfoster009]

She's the female Rod Stewart....

[@mil2k11]

Yep Yep

[@joesull1796]

It's funny I was going to say the same. But you beat me to it. 😁

I'd say she's more of a female Tom Jones.

She always sang with a raspy voice. Two other hit songs were "Total Eclipse of the Heart" and "Holding Out For A Hero". The music videos for both were really great.

[@jamesbeaumont1212]

She was not always so raspy. She had a hit with Lost In France pre-op :-) xxx

[@ericpeterson6766]

@@jamesbeaumont1212 even with the changes it wreaked on her voice, she still had all this voice control. I go back and forth on whether some of her hits would have been as good or not with her pre op voice. Hard to say. She may have compensated with even more voice control and more emotion that may not have happened without the definite challenge her shredded voice created for her.

[@lovemyrainydays]

Nice! This one and her other big one Lost In France were two of my favourite songs from the 70s. Her voice was just so different than any other women at the time, and she was so pretty.

[@robinschulze934]

Apparently from what I have found out about her is she aquired nodules on her vocal cords and had to have surgery. She was told she probably won't be able to sing again.

If you enjoyed Bonnie, I recommend Elkie Brookes, singing Lilac Wine, or Pearl's a Singer. She was around in the 1960s/70s/80s. Very under-rated and very talented.

Bonnie's voice is more extreme, but it brings to mind the voice of Jeniffer Nettles.

[@danfrost3043]

In an interview she said she deliberately had a throat operation to make her voice sound gravelly because otherwise she didn't think her voice would stand out. This is more of a country song than anything else. Huge hit for her all over Europe, Australia & The UK.

[@leeshaver7825]

More great memories of my childhood and listing to these songs on AM radio

[@epdonohue]

I love Bonnie Tyler

[@gyloir]

Her voice is like that because she got nodules on her vocal cords and after surgery when she was meant to let it heal she ended up screaming once and it damaged her voice, which led to this huskier sound that she has. It's also what made her so unique and different and actually helped her career in the end.

[@billstokes6740]

I always loved her raspy voice, it was so different. So much feeling.

[@MRM-Wendy]

Song was huge when i started kindergarten in 78...childhood memories

[@davidsummers2196]

She used to be a public speaker and she did a lot of public speaking. She built up callouses on her vocal cords. That's why her voice has that Frye sound like David Draimon.

[@BattlerBears71]

I love her song The World is Full of Married Men and Total Eclipse of The Heart. 💖🎸🎤

[@loup4343]

Here's the story I heard: She had a surgery to remove a polyp from her vocal cords. She was supposed to remain quiet and not speak while she was healing, but something scared her and she screamed. It actually damaged her vocal chords leaving her with that rasp. This was a top 10 hit in the 1970s and you're correct, it was a hugely popular break up song. I remember people playing this song on the jukebox and people would literally cry in their beers in the bar after they split up. It's a pretty emotional song.

It's my understanding that Jim Steinman wrote this and 'Total Eclipse of the Heart' for Meatloaf, but since they had a falling out, he gave them to Bonnie Tyler instead. And she, with her beautifully haunting voice, made the best of them. I would've also loved to have heard Meatloaf perform them. Better yet, a duet. And, I believe her voice was raspy because she had nodules on her vocal chords.

Used to go around singing it when I was 4 or so.

[@vaudreelavallee3757]

I used to love singing to this - ok, to be honest, I was mimicking her voice and butchering it, but it was fun because of her unique voice. There are two versions of Total Eclipse of the Heart - the real one and the Total Eclipse of the Heart Literal Video Version (which is the same tune, similar voice but the words are what is going on in the video). Maybe you should listen to the latter before the former to cheer you up - or do both in the same reaction.
