Originally by Pandora's box in 1989, with follow up versions from Meatloaf and Celine Dion around 96 I think. Amazing song and a beautiful vocalist.

Yes, it's shame. I don't really don't remember the Pandora's Box version being that popular at all in 89. I think Meatloaf but especially Celine made the song much more well known!

Absolutely. And I'm not going to lie I had to Google it. Because I was about to come in here like "yeah that's a great cover 😉" and point to the meatloaf version as the original, but no it was Pandora's Box. Personally being a huge meatloaf fan, I'd heard his version first but Celine also beat him to the punch in 96 as meatloafs version was released with Norwegian singer Marion Raven in 2006, 10years later for Bat out of hell 3.
So I concede to Celine on this 😅 she put together an incredible version of this song. She deserves all the recognition she gets as an amazing singer.
