Women's Love Songs.

Hear these 3 outstanding 1980's women's love songs sung exceptionally well by 3 women singers, but all written in full or part by male writers. (Of course there are good songs written by women, but there has also been some good across-the-sexes work in music.)

'Woman in love', Barbra Streisand 1980, written by Mr Barry Gibb and Mr Robin Gibb.



'Total eclipse of the heart', Bonnie Tyler 1983, written by Mr Jim Steinman.



'The power of love', Jennifer Rush 1984, written by Mr Gunther Mende, Mr Candy DeRouge, Ms Jennifer Rush and Ms Mary Susan Applegate.



And listen to 99 Red Balloons by Nena live 1984,
