紅髮美人〔貝琳達卡萊兒〕──英美流行冠軍名作──愉悅的〔人間天堂／Heaven Is A Place On Earth〕

When the night falls down
I wait for you
And you come around
And the worlds alive
With the sound of kids
On the street outside

When you walk into the room
You pull me close and we start to move
And were spinning with the stars above
And you lift me up in a wave of love...

Ooh, baby, do you know what thats worth ?
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
They say in heaven love comes first
Well make heaven a place on earth
Ooh heaven is a place on earth

When I feel alone
I reach for you
And you bring me home
When Im lost at sea
I hear your voice
And it carries me

In this world were just beginning
To understand the miracle of living
Baby I was afraid before
But Im not afraid anymore

Ooh, baby, do you know what thats worth ?
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
They say in heaven love comes first
Well make heaven a place on earth
Ooh heaven is a place on earth

２９歲的前〔The Go Go’s〕主唱貝琳達卡萊兒（Belinda Carlisle）推出第二張專輯〔Heaven On Earth／人間天堂〕

成為這位紅髮美人最成功的大碟（英國＃４──３白金　美國＃１３──白金）

專輯首支單曲為９月發行的〔Heaven Is A Place On Earth／人間天堂〕
貝琳達請來之前曾跟史蒂芙妮克絲（Stevie Nicks）， 後來跟瑪丹娜（Madonna）,Dido ,Melanie C 合作的名製作人Rick Nowels操刀

此曲由Rick Nowels與妻子Ellen Shipley譜寫　
這是一首流行味相當重的AC／Power Pop
旋律甜美　編曲精緻　合音豐潤（由６０年代著名民謠搖滾團體The Mamas & The Papas中的Michelle Phillips擔任）
雖然樂評對卡萊兒在單飛後的流行曲風略有微詞
不過卻相當受到歌迷的捧場
〔Heaven Is A Place On Earth／人間天堂〕在１２月美國流行榜得到冠軍　成人抒情榜＃７　舞曲銷售＃１８
國際市場更是成功　１９８８年初拿下歐洲榜冠軍　英國＆瑞士＆瑞典＆愛爾蘭＆紐西蘭＆挪威＆南非冠軍　澳洲亞軍　德國＆加拿大＃３　義大利＃６　荷蘭＃７　奧地利＃１０
成為貝琳達個人事業最成功的歌曲
〔Heaven On Earth〕也在幾首單曲的強力支持下在美國賣了一百多萬張

卡萊兒的丈夫Morgan Mason也出現在其中

MV攝影精緻　貝琳達的形象也越來越華麗
並展現了全新的豔麗紅髮
據聞這造型的靈感得自女貓王安-瑪格麗特（Ann-Margret）

推薦這首８０年代末期紅極一時的流行名作給各位
