Released: January 1990. UK Chart Peak: #4 Oz Chart Peak: #33. The Lonnie Gordon story was a bit clunky. Plucked from obscurity, the American with the big voice, big shoulder pads and big hair turned to SAW after her first single was a club hit but didn't dent the charts. SAW had written Happenin' All Over Again for Donna Summer but, conveniently, they'd just broken up with her so it was basically Lonnie's for the taking. Its sound was edgier and more contemporary than most PWL output of the era and it consequently hit #4 in the UK. But then it all went a bit pear-shaped. Lonnie's cracking second single How Could He Do This To Me was pulled at the last minute. The mid-tempo Beyond Your Wildest Dreams was finally released in August but, with momentum lost, it only just made the top 50 so it almost didn't matter what they did next; which, as it happens, was to release the third single and title track from the intended album If I Have To Stand Alone. Thanks to the passing of time, poor choices and limited promotion, it barely scraped into the top 70 and the album itself never saw a UK release. Still, Lonnie would always be able to console herself with Happenin' All Over Again and the fifteen minutes of fame she had in early 1990... and when a remixed version was released in 1993... and again when another remix was released in 1998... and again in 2000... and again in 2003. And as if there weren't enough versions by Lonnie herself, there were a couple of cover versions too. Never had a song's title been more apt.
