"Take My Breath Away" was one of the only songs not written by Berlin's John Crawford that they had performed on any album up to that point. "Take My Breath Away" was re-released in the United Kingdom in October 1990 to coincide with the first television showing of ''Top Gun'' (by ITV, on the evening of October 6, 1990) as well as Peugeot's new television advertising campaign for the 405 model range. The re-release reached number three on the UK Singles Chart. The song was originally offered to The Motels; they released their original demo on their compilation album Anthologyland. Lead singer Martha Davis writes about the song in the liner notes: "I got a call from Giorgio: “Hey Martha, I would like you to sing on this song” and he sent over a cassette of “Take My Breath Away.” I don’t consider myself very A&R-ish but when I heard it I said, “damn, that’s a hit!” I went in and sang the song, but then, Terri ended up doing it and having it featured in Top Gun. There’s a big part of me that is glad that I didn’t do it because I’m a writer and I think I would have been known more for that song than any other." Giorgio Moroder said that he is most proud of this song, of all the other hits he has had in his career. 〔http://www.abc.net.au/7.30/content/2015/s4253475.htm〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Take My Breath Away」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
