Maggie Reilly (born 15 September 1956)[1] is a Scottish singer best known for her collaborations with the composer and instrumentalist Mike Oldfield. Most notably, she performed lead vocals on the Oldfield songs "Family Man", "Moonlight Shadow", "To France", and "Foreign Affair", all of which were international hits in the early 1980s.
Reilly first came to prominence as a member of the 1970s soul outfit Cado Belle (previously named Joe Cool) and released one album with them in 1976.[2]
She is best known for her collaborations with the composer Mike Oldfield between 1980 and 1984,[2][3] especially by co-writing and performing the vocals on "Family Man" (from the album Five Miles Out), "Moonlight Shadow", "Foreign Affair" (from the album Crises) and "To France" (from the album Discovery).
In 1992 Reilly released her debut solo album Echoes,[2] from which the singles "Everytime We Touch", "Tears in the Rain" and "Wait" were the most successful. A series of solo albums were released over the next 27 years.
She has also worked with many other artists, including Mike Batt (on his Hunting of the Snark album), Jack Bruce, Dave Greenfield & Jean-Jacques Burnel, Nick Mason & Rick Fenn, Michael Cretu, Lesiëm, Ralph McTell, Simon NicolofFairport Convention, Stefan Zauner of Münchener Freiheit, Runrig, The Sisters of Mercy, and Smokie.
