SONG PROFILE
Suddenly (Angry Anderson song)
Format Vinyl LP – Recorded 1986.
“Suddenly” is a power ballad by Angry Anderson from his debut solo album Beats From A Single Drum released in 1988.
The song became the biggest hit for Angry Anderson, reaching number 1 in the ARIA Singles Chart, and number 3 in the UK Singles Chart.
Its success is due to it featuring in the wedding of Scott Robinson and Charlene Mitchell on Australian soap Neighbours, which was viewed by 20 million viewers in the UK.
The ballad, which is played over the ceremony, was actually chosen by Kylie Minogue, who played Charlene, as the song to be played at ‘her’ own wedding.
“Suddenly” was denied the UK number 2 spot by the release of the Kylie and Jason Donovan duet, “Especially for You”.
Australian singer Sam Clark covered the song for his debut studio album, Take Me Home.
