  • Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn December 19, 1987, Taylor Dayne performed "Tell It To My Heart" on the Dick Clark ABC-TV Saturday-afternoon program, 'American Bandstand'...
    At the time the song was in it's second of two weeks at #15 on Billboard's Top 100 chart, five weeks later it would peak at #7 {for 1 week} and it spent almost a half-year on the Top 100 {25 weeks}...
    It reached #1 in three countries; Sweden, Germany, and the Netherlands...
    Between 1987 and 1993 she had ten records on the Top 100 chart, seven made the Top 10 with one reaching #1*, "Love Will Lead You Back", for one week on April 1st, 1990...
    Ms. Dayne, born Leslie Wunderman, will celebrate her 56th birthday come next March 7th {2018}...
    * She just missed having a second #1 record when her "Don't Rush Me" peaked at #2 {for 1 week} on January 15th, 1989, the week it was at #2, the #1 record for that week was "Two Hearts" by Phil Collins.
