Retrieved January 28, 2020. Taylor Dayne is one of those singers who managed to blow up via her debut single, “Tell It to My Heart”. In fact the first seven singles that Dayne, a singer from New York’s Long Island, dropped all managed to make it within the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100. Lysette Cohen from Record Mirror wrote, "The single is one of those unbelievably catchy ones, full of what Taylor calls, "happy hooks". Yet it is more imposing and robust then your average dancefloor ditty. There's real guts in there. A little like the lady herself perhaps?" [7] Another editor, Matthew Collin, felt that the single showed that Dayne "makes a brilliant disco queen". [8] Music video [ edit ] In 2023, Cash Cash released a remix version of this song with newly re-recorded vocals from Dayne. [61]

She was also ranked at number 18 on Rolling Stone's list of the best female dance artists of all-time. Year-end charts [ edit ] Year-end chart performance for "Tell It to My Heart" (Taylor Dayne version) Tell It to My Heart" is a song performed by American singer, songwriter and actress Taylor Dayne, released in October 1987 as her first single from her first album of the same name (1988). The single was Dayne's first major exposure, and she soon became known for her up-tempo, dance-oriented music. The song was written by Chappell Music staff songwriter Seth Swirsky and Ernie Gold. Swirsky almost did not deliver the song to his publisher after he and his girlfriend decided it was not good enough. She began singing professionally after graduating from high school in New York. She went under the name Les Lee, before being signed to Arista Records as Taylor Dayne.

When Taylor received a demo of this song, she had already been in the game for a couple of years but was still by and large an amateur musician. So she had to actually borrow some money from her father to create her own demo of “Tell It to My Heart”. It was said demo that caught the ear of Clive and led to the official commencement of her discography.
