MARGARET REYNOLDS

[Paulo]

ALL DAY ALL NIGHT is just so beautiful an powerful...
...a great disco song that should be a classic instead of Staying Alive, but go figure the whys and hows of the music industry.

I'd like to know if there is anything else by this female singer. Acording to this site, she has another 12" (Day After Day) which I never heard (the 80's are still a "secret" to me).

Well, apart from this two 12 inches, is there anything more? How many albums did she record? Any information about her?? Who is she??

There's a Margaret Reynolds 12" release on Moby Dick Records called Keep On Holding On.

I love "All Day, All Night", which I have on "The Best Of T.K. Disco" cd, and was looking to find when it came out (no release/chart dates in the liner notes). As far as I can tell, this song never charted anywhere, at least not any of the Billboard charts. I found elsewhere that the song is from 1979. It's hard to believe that it wouldn't have made the Disco Chart at the time.

"Keep On Holdin' On" & "Day After Day" were the 2 Moby 12"s.

And I'm not sure, because my copy is a blank labelled, test-press (and it's been soooo many years!), but didn't Margaret do "Three Steps From True Love"?

Yes she did cover The Reflections' 1975 disco hit.

My copy doesn't have a date but it's from Prime Cuts in LA, so I would place it around 1985.

The billing is Margaret Reynolds & Girlfriends (Beverly Champion & Jeannette W. Williams)

Produced by Joe Gibbs
A-side: Hi-Energy Mix by John Haag & Artie Jacobs (7:10)
B-side: Primitive Dub (7:30) & Funky Dub (5:40)
Dubwise Records, Opa-Locka, (say wut????!) Florida...can you say regional, boys and girls????

Thank you! That info answers so many questions, perfectly.

Opa Locka is in Dade County, next to Miami. SHHH!!! We don't speak of it.

I picked up a cd of George McCrea's Rock Your Baby and George McCrea albums the other day, and I see that Margaret Reynolds is listed as on of the back-up singers on the latter.

.........AND !!!! ......

KEEP ON HOLDING ON :

is likewise a remake ......



do any songs quite make me think of Troc in the same way as that one????







..........of a 1975 Ace Spectrum song

mis-titled imo.... KEEP HOLDING ON

since the song line most sung is also keep on holding on


just figured this out
and at the time back then, knew there was something damn familiar about that Margaret Reynolds song .....:icon_confused:....:icon_confused:.. :icon_confused: ...:icon_confused:....:icon_confused:





love the remake .....and likewise this newfound Trammps-Spinners like original with its bonus angelic harp strums. :icon_biggrin: :icon_cool:
