Belinda Carlisle first recorded "Waiting For A Star To Fall" (George Merrill- Shannon Rubicam). It's more than evident by her performance that Belinda didn't want the song on her 1977 LP "Heaven On Earth" and recorded it only after her label's insistence.

Boy Meets Girl (lead vocalist Shannon Rubicam, keyboardist and vocalist George Merrill) and "Waiting For A Star To Fall" reached number five on the Top One Hundred and topped the Adult Contemporary chart in 1988. This is from the album "Reel Life".
