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.

In Eugene Wilde's song "Rainbow," the singer is expressing his love and devotion towards a woman in his life. He describes her as his rainbow in the sky that flutters by and by whenever he's near her. He is completely immersed in thoughts of her and says that she is all he sees in his dreams. He wants to have an open conversation with her and work out any issues they may have. He emphasizes that he cares deeply about her and wants to make things right by holding her tight and making sure the time is right for them.
In the second verse, the singer acknowledges that he has made mistakes in the past and hurt his partner, but he wants to make amends and prove to her that he truly loves her. He apologizes for any pain he has caused and promises to do anything to make it up to her. The chorus repeats the imagery of the rainbow and emphasizes how much the singer loves this woman more each day.
One interesting fact about the song is that it was released in 1984 and was a huge hit for Eugene Wilde, reaching number two on the R&B charts. Another interesting fact is that the song was originally written by two members of the British band Level 42 but was never released by them. Additionally, the song was sampled in the 2000 hit single "Get It On Tonite" by Montell Jordan. The phrase "Rainbow in the sky" has become a popular metaphor in many songs and poems, symbolizing hope and love.

In the 80's there were so many talented singers the field was crowded. It was easy to get lost. He was competing on the charts with Luther Vandros, Alexander O'Neal, Co Funk Shun, S.O.S. Band, abd the list goes on. We really took good music for granted back then....
