Toughen Up (US 12″)
Written by Graham Lyle and Terry Britten “Toughen Up” was the second single released from Olivia’s 1985 album Soul Kiss. The reggae influenced track was originally intended for Tina turner but rejected by her as inferior. “Toughen Up” failed to make a dent on the Billboard charts but was quite popular in dance clubs due in part to a 12″ dance remix by John “Jellybean” Benitez. “Toughen Up” did chart in Australia peaking at #69.
