TIFFANY
Tiffany (born Tiffany Renee Darwish; October 2, 1971) is an American singer, songwriter, actress, and former teen icon. She is most notable for her 1987 cover of “I Think We’re Alone Now”, a 1967 original recording by Tommy James and the Shondells. Released as the second single from her eponymous album, Tiffany, the song quickly became a teen anthem. Thanks to an original mall tour, “The Beautiful You: Celebrating The Good Life Shopping Mall Tour ’87”, Tiffany found commercial success; both the single and the album peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and Billboard 200 charts, respectively. The singles “Could’ve Been” and “I Saw Him Standing There”, a cover version of The Beatles’ ”I Saw Her Standing There”, followed soon after, with the former also claiming the No. 1 position on the Hot 100.

Other novel platforms have been discovered for new musicians to get the word out. Tiffany had a major hit song in 1987 with “I Think We’re Alone Now” (off her debut album Tiffany), a cover of the Tommy James and the Shondells hit “I Think We’re Alone Now” from 20 years earlier. Tiffany promoted the single by performing live in regional shopping centers throughout the country during what she called “The Beautiful You: Celebrating The Good Life Shopping Mall Tour ’87”.
