Internationally, the tune was also a smash in continential Europe, Australia, Japan, South Africa, South America, Eastern Europe, Canada, and Asia. The track was taken from the album Heartbreaker which to date has sold over 3 million units internationally and earned Dionne an RIAA USA Gold Award for the album. The album peaked at #25 on the Hot 100 Album Chart, #13 on the R&B Chart and #3 in the UK. Dionne stated to Wesley Hyatt in his The Billboard Book of Number One Adult Contemporary Hits that she was not fond of "Heartbreaker," but recorded the tune because she trusted the Bee Gees' judgment that it would be a hit. How did the project come about? The legendary Clive Davis was attending his aunt's wedding in Florida and spoke with Barry Gibb. Barry mentioned that he had always been a fan of Dionne's and Clive arranged for Dionne and the BeeGees to discuss a project. Dionne and the brothers Gibb hit it off and the album "Heartbreaker" and the title single was released in October 1982.

Why do you have to be a Heart Breaker? When I was bein' what you want me to be. Suddenly every thing I ever wanted has passed me by. This world may end.Not you and I My love is stronger than the universe, my soul is cryin' for you and that cannot be reversed. You made the rules and you could not see, you made a life out of hurtin' me. Out of my mind I am held by the power of you love. Tell me when do we try, why should we say good bye.

You don't hear voices of this quality these days. There should be a Government Enquiry to find out why. Lovely strings at 1.00. Mid-range and understated rather than high pitch and busy. It's all about taste - another Enquiry needed there too, I reckon.

Dionne's the best!
