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.
First Love Never Dies
Eugene Wilde Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
By: Eugene Wilde and Joanna Wilder
Maybe first love never ever dies
That's why I'm still in love with you
Hold me close and look into my eyes
And tell me you don't feel it too
The way it used to be when you told me
And, we never really said goodbye
We never really said it's over
We never really said goodbye
First love never dies
When I saw you I could hardly speak
You're just as beautiful as ever babe
I guess it's still the same mystique
First love never dies
Maybe you just wasted all of your love
We can't go back but we go on
Singing love songs we have once begun
Before we drifted far apart
Before I knew I lost my heart
We'll live forever, only you (only you)
With my life together
We never really said goodbye
We never really said it's over
We never really said goodbye
First love never dies
When I saw you I could hardly speak
You're just as beautiful as ever babe
I guess it's still the same mystique
First love never dies
The first love, never dies
It never dies (it never does)
First love never dies...
We never really said goodbye
We never really said it's over
We never really said goodbye
First love never dies..........
