I was mesmerised by that voice for so long. I think she was better than the -young- Annie Haslam. -------------- We raise our voices in the night Crying to heaven And will our voices be heard Or will they break Like the wind Back to top

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: June 14 2010, 15:50 Maggie Reilly, of course. She was so unusual and apparently so unfit to be associated with what Mike was (or was supposed to be) at the time, that she made a great effect when she sang lead on "Moonlight Shadow" - one reason why that song is still around today. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

Olivier Group: Super Admins Posts: 1868 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: June 14 2010, 17:54 I don't like the "one reason" expression, it emphasizes one thing without listing the rest. It doesn't even state how many reasons. Is she one out of 1,000 reasons, or 1 out of 2 reasons? And I won't make an offensive joke about the weight of the reason. So I'll answer with a similar logic: the best vocalist is the one he didn't use. Back to top
