I never knew they guys wrote a few of those. I also never knew edge of a broken heart was released by anyone else, although i cant find Briars version of the song any where. Can any one tell me how it stacks up against the original?

Is the French version of Cadillac Man somewhere on YT or sth like that?
I heard it was recorded by someone, but forgot the name.

EDIT: Found it:

"Youre not my lover" was also covered by a group called Witness in 1988.
I,m sure I,ve heard someone else cover EOABH by someone else but Briar doesnt sound familiar.

Btw - what is that song Desmond Child gave Bonnie Tyler that sounds so damn similar to Bad Name? I recently saw a documentary about her where they played it for a moment in the back and I thought at first it'd be Bon Jovi.

You dont mean Berlinda Carlisle do you? Heaven Is a Place on Earth is very LOAP ish. Have you heard Bad Luck by FM, even FM said it was a blatant rip off of the Bad Name riff!

No, thatīs another story. If You Were A Woman was the first song in which DC used that chorus idea of his. He wasnīt too happy with how the song turned out to be so he re-used the same structure in Bad Name, in which, of course, it worked well indeed.

Heaven Is A Place on Earth was a song on a Belinda Carlisle album (in 1987 if I remember), written by Rick Nowels & Ellen Shipley. Many pointed out the similarities between it and LivinīOn A Prayer. It may be obvious but on the other hand, thatīs how big choruses used to sound like those days.
