"Especially for You" is a song performed by the Australian recording artists Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan, from Donovan's debut album ''Ten Good Reasons'' (1989). The single was released on 28 November 1988 and was written and produced by Stock Aitken Waterman. "Especially for You" received many positive reviews from older and contemporary critics, who deemed it one of the strongest of each singer's album, but also dubbed the song a classic. The song had commercial success, reaching number one in the UK, Ireland, Greece and Belgium and peaking inside the Top 5 in countries including Australia, New Zealand, France, Finland and Switzerland. In 2015 the song was voted by the British public as the nation's 20th favourite 1980s number one in a poll for ITV. Minogue also performed this song as a duet with Kermit the Frog on the show ''An Audience with... Kylie Minogue'' in 2001. ==Background== Minogue and Donovan both appeared on the Australian TV series ''Neighbours'' but before they recorded the song, Minogue had left the series to concentrate on a music career. By 1989, Donovan had also left the series to focus on his burgeoning music career. After the success of them on the show, Minogue had released her studio album ''Kylie'', while Donovan was working on his studio album ''Ten Good Reasons''. However, the album was not complete without the song, so the singer's production company Stock, Aitken & Waterman had composed and written a song for the singer's so they could sing a duet on the track. The single was released on 28 November 1988 and was written by Stock Aitken Waterman. The song was later featured on the American version of ''Enjoy Yourself''. In May 2012, it was announced that Minogue and Donovan would be performing the song at the Hit Factory Live concert in July of that year, their first performance together since 1989. Years after the single was released, the song was featured on four compilations released by Minogue and two by Donovan. These are the compilations that the song was featured on respectively: ; Minogue's compilations * ''Greatest Hits'' (1992) * ''Greatest Hits 1987–1999'' (2003) * ''Greatest Hits 87–97'' (2003) * ''Ultimate Kylie'' (2004) ; Donovan's compilations * ''Greatest Hits'' (1991) * ''Greatest Hits'' (2006) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Especially for You」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
