Title: 'I Sleep Alone' Recordings
Post by: Sport Brotha on August 20, 2018, 09:22:46 AM
There is only one recording of I Sleep Alone on YouTube and it's of a live performance Brian did in front of the National Academy Of Song Writers on January 8th, 1989.  But I vividly remember there being another recording of this song which got taken down for some reason that was clearly a studio recording.

Does anyone know where that is?  Does it still exist anywhere?

I think that was a demo Brian recorded for Gloria Estefan (?) to sing. One of Brian's best from that era imo. Love that song. If it's not on youtube, I guess the only chance are diverse bootleg CDs

The demo was for Sarah Brightman I believe. She had an affair ( allegedly) with Andrew Lloyd Webber whom she later married. Anyway....if you listen to the lyrics, it is fairly clear she could not have sung those words ......... " when your man's not your own"

I really like that song though....some word changes would make it a fine release, commercial sound to it.
