[EuroPop/Synth Pop/Electronic/Pop/Disco/Dance/AOR] Here is Bonnie Bianco with her second major album titled: \"Just Me\". At first i wasn't very fond of this album, but after i listened to it in its entirety i have truly grown to loving it. This album did fairly OK in Europe but went completely unnoticed here in the United States and that is a shame because if you really give it a chance you will see that \"Just Me\" is perhaps Bianco's best album. Bonnie Bianco was born Lory Lynn Bianco on August 19th, 1963 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Bianco started her career at the tender age of 10 performing in musicals, fairs, convalescent homes, hospitals, conventions, and beauty pageants. She was managed by Sam Gino and her mother Helen Bianco. Bianco sang solo and duet with her sister Holly and the two of them recorded their first single, \"Give Me A Minute\" in 1975. Later at 16, Bianco received her first professional break with Hal White and Mark Gibbons, who released a single on RCA records titled: \"Teenager In Love\". At eighteen Bianco was discovered in a talent search by two producers from Italy, Guido and Maurizio De Angelis. The De Angeles brothers signed her and became her record label Kangaroo Records/Polygram. They changed her name to Bonnie Bianco (a name that she wasn't so fond of using). She is best known as the leading role of \"Cindy\" in the Italian film Cinderella 80 (also known as Cinderella '87 or Cindy), a modernized adaptation of the fairy tale Cinderella. Bianco starred along side with french actor Pierre Cosso, known from his movie La Boum 2 with Sophie Marceau. Bianco also recorded the soundtrack for this TV series and the film gave her further success as an actress in Italy. From here you will see why she really wasn't very known in the United States and that is something that Bianco tried to change after this album was released. After this album's release, Bianco and her producer Christian De Walden had different views for her career so they finally mutually agreed to break away from each other. Bianco ended her contract with Metronome in 1987 after a battle of seven months and signed a new deal with the German record company WEA (Warner-Elektra-Atlantic, belonging to Warner Bros records) in 1988. They produced a new album, True Love, Lory, as they mutually agreed to gradually fade away from the name \"Bonnie\". The record company stated that she had become famous by the name \"Bonnie Bianco\" and people would not know who Lory Bianco was. The album failed to continue the Top 10 success of the two previous albums (like this one) and failed to reach the German Top 40. Through the years, she released several more albums and singles and now resides in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. I consider this album a failure because it was only marketed heavily overseas, even though it was well received in Italy and had some major hits like \"The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter\" (Track 5) and \"Miss You So\" (Track 1), i just feel that if they promoted this album more globally than i think Bianco's career would have skyrocketed higher than expected ...but all in all, the album is a must listen to as it is clearly her best work. This album was released under Metronome Records '87.
