Maggie Reilly

Maggie Reilly spent the early 1980s as the unmistakable voice behind several of Mike Oldfield's biggest hits, her clear, aching alto carrying 'Moonlight Shadow' and 'To France' into the upper reaches of European charts. She stepped out on her own with 1992's Echoes, whose lead single 'Everytime We Touch' became a hit across Europe in its own right — and, more than a decade later, handed a German dance act its own signature chorus. Reilly has continued recording and performing in the decades since, a durable presence on European adult-contemporary radio.
