The original was sung by tenor Plácido Domingo and American singer Dionne Warwick. It was subsequently released as a single by Domingo with another collaborator to the album, Jennifer Rush. The song reached #24 on the UK Charts in 1989, and was featured on the concept album of the musical.
It was covered (although released first) as a duet by Barbra Streisand and Don Johnson, and appeared on Streisand's Platinum-selling 1988 album of the same name, and later on her 2002 compilation, Duets. As a single, it reached #16 in the United Kingdom, #25 in the United States and #22 in the Spain Top 40 Radio.[1]. It also reached #3 on Billboard's Adult Contemporary survey.
Domingo also recorded a Spanish-language single of the song with Gloria Estefan titled "Hasta amarte" and a Portuguese version, "Apaixonou," with Simone Bittencourt de Oliveira. "Hasta amarte" peaked at #8 on Billboard's Hot Latin Songs chart.[2]
