1991 Elaine Paige – Love Can Do That

Love Can Do That is an album by Elaine Paige, released in 1991. It was Paige’s first album released by RCA and marketed in Europe by BMG. Produced by Dennis Lambert and recorded at The Zoo in Encino, California. The album reached #36 in the UK album chart.

The album was the nearest Paige’s recordings came to contemporary pop, featuring a number of ballads that were previously recorded by artists such as Barbra Streisand’s “Heart Don’t Change My Mind” and Cyndi Lauper’s “True Colors”. The songs also included “Same Train”, a duet with Christopher Cross, and “Only The Very Best”, from the concept musical Tycoon for which Tim Rice wrote an English lyric. The song was originally performed in French in the musical Starmania.
