The World Of Love Charlie

A New Year A New Decade And A New Kylie   1990, a new year and indeed a new decade, one that would see Kylie Minogue take control over her own career, no longer would she be told what to wear, what to say or even which singles to release, she would ditch her 'girl next door' image for something a little more grown up, more sexual, the girl from Neighbours was blossoming into womanhood. The 1990s would also see Kylie lose her popularity and for a few years it looked like her career was over but in great survivor stories style in 2000 the lady was able to spin things around and made a sensational comeback.  Kylie's first single of the new decade was a cover version and also the theme tune from her film The Delinquents, Tears On My Pillow was originally released in 1958 by Little Anthony and The Imperials, the accompanying video showed Kylie in a black dress and 1950's style hair while clips of the film played both behind her and without her on screen. Released on January ...

Hand On My Heart It Really Is Kylie Minogue Following on from an earlier post that detailed Kylie Minogue's humble beginnings to her first year as a singer, I now carry on with 1989. So Kylie Minogue has been a child actress, starred in the soap opera Neighbours, released her debut single, The Locomotion which has been the decade's biggest selling single in her native Australia and released her first world wide hit I Should Be So Lucky which has reached No 1 in England, Australia and many other countries, her debut album entitled 'Kylie' has sold 5 million copies and a string of hit singles have been released from it.

 'be warned the following post contains images, scenes and descriptions of unashamed pop music, it describes a period in time when music was bright, bold, sometimes tacky but above all it was fun, it may not be to everyone's taste, those who believe music has to be serious may be easily offended' Now, for those of you who are still reading this post, let's go back, back in time to the late 1980s, 1988 is were it all started for me, there is no internet, no social media and mobile phones are the size of a brick. Children and teenagers up and down the country are excited at the thrill of rushing to the shops on a Saturday morning to spend their well deserved pocket money on the latest single from their favourite pop stars, what would the cover be like? What would the B Side track be? Some records came with posters, some folded out into a poster and some were picture discs, oh the excitement! Then upon their return the delight of hearing that first crackle as the needle pl...

Kylie Anne Minogue was born on the 28th May 1968 in Melbourne, Australia, the eldest of three children she was a quiet child who didn't make friends easily. In 1979 her younger sister Dannii was auditioning for a role in the soap opera The Sullivans when instead of hiring her they offered Kylie the position who they found more suitable for both the role and age of the character, several other appearances followed until 1986 when Kylie joined the popular soap opera Neighbours, her character Charlene Ramsey was a permed, tomboy, mechanic who falls in love with Scott, played by Jason Donovan complete with 80's mullet.

The late 1980s had seen a rising interest in Australia, this sun drenched, distant country complete with palm trees, sandy beaches and a culture that was quite ...
