I never loved a man - Margaret Singana

Gallo Record Company.
Margaret Singana singing "I never loved a man".
One of my favourite old songs. Thanks to Gallo Record Company for letting me have this song on my channel.
Margaret Singana, the world-renowned SA singing star, passed away on Saturday 22 April 2000 (aged 63). Although she enjoyed her greatest success during the Seventies, she made a triumphant comeback following a debilitating stroke in 1978. In 1986 Margaret Singana returned to the microphone to sing 'We Are Growing', the theme song from the television series "Shaka Zulu" which went to number 1 in Holland in 1989. But that was to be her final bow and she died largely forgotten, and in a financial situation unbefitting a star appropriately and affectionately dubbed "Lady Africa".

[@LibWyn3601]

Beautiful Memories 🌈 Loved dancing to this song 🎵 from fast movements to eventually... swaying to the beat 😊

[@annbarnes6767]

Wonderful voice. I played it today again. Still makes me homesick for South Africa. I don't think her voice and rhythm can ever be equallef

[@barrydunnett401]

What a song! Such an incredible voice.

[@billy54graham]

What a voice takes me back to good times in SA.

[@sleepysteve63]

I still lived in South Africa when this song was released. I always loved it but never bought it and I don't know why. I'm pleased that I can still hear it on KZbin :)

[@shanges2008]

Was it around 1977, I must have been about 8 years old

[@sleepysteve63]

@@shanges2008 Yes, I believe it was around 1977. A good year for music. It was unfortunate that her next single was Orang-utan, which was poor in comparison. But I also loved the Rabbitt track she featured on - Tribal Fence 🙂

[@ndangwara]

Thanks. I requested this a long time ago and had given up. Such a sad ending to a most gracious lady with one of the most powerful voices. Hopefully we can do better for our artists, that they will have better managers and learn to manage their own funds and to negotiate better contracts.

[@european51]

I had the privilege to see her in concert is south africa wow what a voice what a lady,...just fantastic,...

[@richardsonmzaidume8210]

Eastern Cape's original Golden Girl. I hope Zahara knows how much she still needs to do to be mentioned alongside this super queen. Thanks for memories MaMcingana.

"Stand by your man" is also awesome

Eish South Africa. Love this jam.😃

[@rorirory121]

Margaret Singana was never and will never be forgotten by those who grew up bump dancing to her music. She may have died penniless, like many black artists and boxers, but she will always be in our hearts. @Richardson Mzaidume, I agree Zonke and Zahara are going to have to work REALLY HARD to be mentioned alongside Margaret. Brenda worked very hard and deserves to be mentioned alongside the great SA voices. Lady Africa. Thats Cape Province.
