Mike Oldfield - Moonlight Shadow (live in VH1 studio)

@@GoldArtAI4K American here-this is the first version of the song I've ever heard, from a couple of years ago. My favorite version is by Ann Haslem, but that could be just because I'm a Renaissance fan. Pepsi does have a fascinating way of moving onstage, though. Hard to take your eyes off her.

There are some, like us, who like it and others that appreciate its mere profitability--like talentless, second-rate Nazi-style freaks procuring our goods and scuzzily and illegally using each as their own.

[@Marko-uj9sd]

The funny thing is I lived in a small village with my parents and older brother. The first time I was allowed to go and play with other kids in the city (2 miles from our village) was when I was 13 years old! The thing I used to convince my mother to let me go was the CD of Mike Oldfield with this song! My friend was about to give it to me on the city's playground where they were playing football. My mom said yes, and after that, everything changed! I started to go there almost every day (during the summer); I soon made new friends (they all lived in the city) and 7-8 of us became best friends! Our gatherings at the city's fountain, playing catch, football, and basketball, and going out for pizza - I still remember those days. The best days of my life! Everything started with one CD! With this amazing song!

I have to say, this is so far, my favorite female vocalist attempting Moonlight Shadow" after Maggie Reilly's. She didn't feel she had to do anything strange with it. The song is already beautiful and rich enough to try to adorn it unnecessairly. I really like this sober version, more faithful to the original.

[@adamdabs]

Pepsi sings this song better than any other. Beautiful lady with a beautiful voice. Beautifully accompanied by superb female organist/guitarist/vocalist. Mike Oldfield's composition and guitar work of course doesn't need comment... he's up there with the best.

[@ferm8103]

Not sure mate, the lady's certainly a fine singer, not worth the hassle debating it but my take will never change regarding the apples and oranges bullshit, the song when released back in the early 80's is the song, end of it, incidentally this lady wasn't on it, Maggie Reilly was and her voice or contribution is most certainly not up for debate, this is the equivalent of modern day skynrd, they can play but they are a tribute.

[@socratesxo]

None of the ladies he has used for vocals has made a bad impression, but my favorite for this is Maggie Reilly

This vocal, musical and stage performance is exceptional, Pepsi has an incredible charisma, voice and feeling. Mike is fantastic and plays an anthology solo. Bravo also to all the musicians in the group who also have talent and make this song incredible. A thought for Maggie Reilly who also performed this song first with talent..

[@justinneill5003]

Mike is a genius, simple as. I live just outside Kington in Herefordshire where he had his studio in a cottage up near Hergest Ridge (hence the album name) during his “reclusive” period. He got a lot of his inspiration while walking the hills around here. And Pepsi…! Who would’ve thought all those years ago, when she was half of the “Pepsi & Shirlie” pop duo that provided backing vocals for “Wham!,” that we would see her providing vocals for Mike Oldfield. He obviously sensed her true singing talent, gave her the chance to fulfil her potential, and she delivered! She should have stepped out of the shadows sooner.
