Western music popular among women in their 40s. World classics and hit songs (61–70)
1-2-3Gloria Estefan & Miami Sound Machine
Gloria, born in Cuba.
She joined Miami Sound Machine, formed by her husband Emilio Estefan, and rose from the Latin music scene to global stardom.
In 1990 she was seriously injured in a traffic accident and was said to have no hope of continuing her singing career, but after a grueling rehabilitation she made a comeback in 1996.
Her beauty and vocal prowess from those days remain unchanged, and she is still active today.
When A Man Loves A WomanMichael Bolton
Percy Sledge’s smash hit “When a Man Loves a Woman,” which reached No.
1 in the U.S., is a timeless classic covered by many artists.
Among them, the version especially popular with people in their 40s is Michael Bolton’s.
With his ruggedly sexy vocals, Bolton was a big favorite among adult women across America.
In Japan, his songs have also been used in a variety of commercials.
Can’t Live Without Your Love And AffectionNelson
With their silky long blonde hair and exhilarating twin vocals, the twin brothers Matthew and Gunnar—who left a powerful impression in the ’90s—form the duo Nelson.
This song is their biggest hit.
By the way, the two released their final album, Peace Out, in 2015, bringing 25 years of activity to a close.
Come Back And StayPaul Young
Born in England in 1956.
With his sweet looks and vocals, he was often placed in the idol category, but Paul is in fact a genuine blue-eyed soul talent.
His cover of Hall & Oates’ “Every Time You Go Away” became a global hit and made him a major star in Japan as well.
His popularity declined from the 1990s, but he released an album in 2016.
Against All OddsPhil Collins
The Japanese title is “Mitsumete Hoshii” (literally, “I Want You to Look at Me”).
It was included on the soundtrack of the American suspense film Body Heat and became a big hit.
Until 1996, he was active as the drummer for Genesis.
Even those with no connection to prog rock, many women now in their 40s became Phil Collins fans because of this song.
