Wilde grew up as part of a family group, La Voyage, playing in local clubs. In the 1970s, the group became Tight Connection, and was later known as Simplicious. Broomfield also recorded an album with Curtom Records in 1979 as a member of Today, Tomorrow, Forever. He changed his name after seeing an advertisement in a newspaper for a nightclub which he had gone to the night before. He had sex with a hooker and then decided to call it the Wilde Flowers of sex.
In 1984 he joined Philly World Records, and wrote and recorded his first hit, "Gotta Get You Home Tonight", which rose to #1 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and also made #18 on the UK Singles Chart. After a couple of less successful follow-ups, he hit #1 again a year later with "Don't Say No Tonight". He also had some lesser hits, including "Diana" (1986), but his career stalled when his record label collapsed.
In 1987 he recorded a duet with Sheena Easton, "What If We Fall in Love", which appeared on Easton's album, No Sound But a Heart.
Subsequent releases on the MCA label, solo and with the group Cabo Frio, were less successful. He later ran the independent label Wilde City Records in Florida. Wilde continued his career, expanding into becoming a professional songwriter. He has written hits such as "I'll Never Break Your Heart" for the Backstreet Boys and "I Wish" for Victoria Beckham. He also continues to record his own songs. Visit both http://www.celerityrecords.com/eugene.html and http://www.myspace.com/eugenewildeofficialpage his official websites.

The song Don't Say No Tonight by Eugene Wilde is a passionate plea from a lover to his beloved, who he has been waiting by the phone for since eight in the evening, while it is now after nine. The lover asks the girl not to say that something has come up, as he has already made plans for both of them tonight. He promises to make her feel twice as nice and make all her dreams come true. He reminds her that he knows what turns her on and can still sing her love songs to put her in the mood. He assures her that he can set her soul on fire and take her higher and higher with his love. The song ends with the lover urging the girl to come in and close the door for a night of passion.
The lyrics of Don't Say No Tonight are simple and direct, but they convey the passion and urgency of the lover's desire. The melody is catchy and upbeat, with a strong backbeat and harmonious vocals. The song features a bridge that includes a reference to Dom Perignon, a French champagne that is famous for its luxury and exclusivity. The bridge assures the girl that they will not be watching TV tonight, but will be making love instead. The song's overall theme of passion and desire makes it a timeless classic that has remained popular since its release in 1984.

...An addictive pleasant melody that sticks in your head day after day... Mr. Eugene Wilde, an extremely underrated artist...
@benjamincarter1884
I agree. I believe when music is like you said "addictive" is because of two reasons. One being , the song isn't mushy. Two , the singer's voice itself
