This is Thomas, one of the webmasters of "Here In My Heart"
and this is my story
of how I found out about Tiffany:
I first listened to Tiffany's music in 1987. She wasn't as
well known in Germany
as she was in the US at that time. I was listening to the US chart
positions and heard about an
unknown 16 year old teenager, who was able to push Michael
Jackson's Bad from #1.
Some weeks later I heard about her second #1 song. So I decided to look
for that
CD. Her first hit "I Think We're alone now" made it's way into the
German charts in the beginning of 1988
(at that time it always took a bit longer for everything to cross the
Atlantic).
My first "child's travel document"
I liked her first album very much and recognized her second
one on MTV. Well that was 1988 and I have listened to these two albums
from time to time. One of my fave songs from her was
"Promises made".
I didn't know anything besides these two albums until the middle of
1998!!! That was the time
that I listened to her first CD and then I started surfing
the net. I started to torment the search-engines with T I F F A N Y and
after some more attempts I did find Dan's homepage
http://www.tiffany.org with all his great
info about her. I was surprised when reading about the other albums. I
thought she
had only done the first two albums and then disappeared from the music
scene. But I was wrong! I found all the other websites (that was easy
then) and read about the comments on "Dreams Never Die" but only read
it superficially . I started to look for her CD's in the local stores
in Germany (but that was only waste of time as I learned the hard way).
During my vacation in the States in 1998 I searched for CD's in some
stores too. I found her "Greatest Hits" and "New Inside" albums in a
store with used CD's. My fave song became "Here in my heart"
and this song
was the reason to search for all the other songs from her. I decided to
name this website the same name, because this song was the stimulus for
everything what happened after that.
My original "certificate of birth" in
Arabic, so read it from right to left :-)
I ordered "Dreams Never Die" and "All The Best" via the internet (where
else will you get these CD's???) and received them
both on one weekend (from different sellers). I was blown away when I
listened to them!!!
I started to read the fan-pages more carefully after this and learned
about her rare
b-sides (check out our collection).
Death Valley, Dante's View 1998
I've tried to look for some
sound samples of these songs and all the others, that I was
never able to listen to. But I didn't find all of them on the other
websites for her. My second problem was - where to get all these
b-sides, especially on CD (because I don't like the old vinyls and
haven't used my record player in years). With a hint from a friend I've
found a lot of them on the internet.
Special thanks to David from Phase
2, that was the place I got most of the rare CD-singles from
Tiffany. Because it was so difficult to find them all and because of
the nice feedback I once
received for my posting, I decided to
create my own homepage for TIFFANY.
She is my all-time favorite singer and will remain here in my
heart!
