WISH YOU WERE HERE TONIGHT

from TELEFONE (LONG DISTANCE LOVE AFFAIR)
Written by Jim Sullins & Jay Graydon 

Released in the summer of 1983, “Telefone (Long Distance Love Affair)” was Sheena Easton’s first single from her fourth album release, Best Kept Secret. This danceable pop ditty was co-written by Greg Mathieson and Trevor Veitch with a little twist (telefone instead of telephone). Mathieson also produced “Telefone (Long Distance Love Affair)” which reached #9 on Billboard’s Hot 100 and #15 on the Adult Contemporary chart. Easton was red-hot from the success of “We’ve Got Tonight,” her #1 duet with the formidable Kenny Rogers (1938-2020) that David Foster had produced earlier that year.

ALMOST OVER YOU

From BEST KEPT SECRET
Written by Cindy Richardson & Jennifer Kimball

After a few years of success with soft ballads like “For Your Eyes Only” and the David Foster-produced “We’ve Got Tonight,” Sheena Easton decided to update her sound to the modern radio trends of the early 80s. Her 1983 album, “Best Kept Secret,” moved the singer towards an up-tempo, synthesized pop in the same vein as other famous songbirds like Donna Summer, Olivia Newton-John and Laura Branigan.
