Everything about Especially For You totally explained
"
Especially for You" was the fifth international single released from singer
Kylie Minogue in time for the Christmas 1988 market and is a duet with
Jason Donovan. It didn't appear on her
debut album but was included on
Jason Donovan's 1989 debut album
Ten Good Reasons. The track did appear on the US version of Kylie Minogue's sophomore album
Enjoy Yourself. The single was released on
November 28,
1988 and was written by
Stock Aitken Waterman.
Its strongest market was the UK, where its release followed the on-screen wedding of the two actors' respective characters of
Charlene and Scott in Australian soap
Neighbours which brought peak audiences.
In the UK the song lodged for 3 weeks at #2 during the Christmas market behind
Cliff Richard (a Christmas fixture) peaking at #1 for a further 4 weeks in early 1989, selling just shy of one million copies and remained Minogue's best selling single until the 2001 "
Can't Get You out of My Head" million seller.
Kylie also performed this song as a duet with
Kermit the Frog having been invited to become one of a select few to make an episode of the respected UK ITV show
An Audience with... (Kylie Minogue) in 2001; a show reserved for entertainers who are admired and loved by the UK public.
Denise van Outen and
Johnny Vaughan along with British Pop group
Steps released a cover version for UK TV Charity
BBC Children In Need in 1998 which charted at Number 3 in the British Charts.
More recently Hugh Sowerby and Daniel Osborne rocked the world at the DJ Sports Personality of the Year Awards 2008. The duo are currently recording a comic relief version for release later in the year.
