The Unlikely Legacy of Bonnie Tyler's Breathtaking Voice Bonnie Tyler's passing at 75 has left a void in the music world, but her impact on popular culture extends far beyond her chart topping hits.
As a singer who rose to fame during the excesses of the 1980s, Tyler's voice was as distinctive as it was durable.
Her breakthrough came in 1977 with "Lost in France," a song that captured the mood of a generation and spoke to the sense of dislocation and disorientation that often comes with leaving one's mark on the world.
