finetune artist: Tiffany

b. Tiffany Renee Darwish, 2 October 1971, Oklahoma, USA. Pop singer Tiffany, based in Norwalk, California, had immediate success with the release of the US number 1 singles "I Think We're Alone Now" (originally a Top 5 hit for Tommy James And The Shondells in 1967) and "Could've Been". Both were included on the artist's 1987 debut album, recorded while she was still only 15 years old. So too was the number 7-peaking "I Saw Him Standing There" (an utterly sexless version of the Beatles "I Saw Her Standing There"), another bubble-gum pop treatment of a well-loved standard. The album was helped to the top of the US charts by Tiffany's promotional tour of shopping malls - a gambit that pushed her ahead of the similarly gushing Debbie Gibson in US adolescent magazine circles The only hit on the follow-up collection, Hold An Old Friend's Hand, was "All This Time" (US number 6), indicating a lessening of her grip on the teen market. The singer had also moved out of the parental home and sued her mother for emancipation. By the advent of New Inside, her "mature" album, no one seemed to be interested anymore and her career as a hitmaker effectively closed with it. One further album was issued without the singer's blessing on the Asian market before she moved to Nashville in an unsuccessful attempt to break into the country market. She resurfaced in 2000 on the Los Angeles-based Eureka Records label with the Alanis Morissette-influenced The Color Of Silence. Two years later, she posed nude for Playboy magazine.
