Stevie singing "every second of the night/I live another life" (with her rough RAL voice) would have become just as synonymous with the 80's as Michael Jackson "cause this is thriller/thriller night", Police (Sting) "how my poor heart aches/with every step you take", or anything similar you care to compare.
This song goes #1 for Stevie for a minimum six weeks in 1985. The lyrics were written for Stevie (which is most likely why she declined the song- too close to her own style)- and would have been a massive hit. You cannot convince me otherwise
