1983 Amy Holland – On Your Every Word
On Your Every Word is a 1983 album released by Amy Holland in 1983. This was her second studio album and was her last one, before she spent the rest of the 1980s recording songs for film soundtracks such as Scarface, Teen Wolf, Night of the Comet, St. Elmo’s Fire, K-9, and much more. In one of the songs on the album, Amy sings a duet with David Pack on the song I Still Run To You. There is a cover version of The Four Tops’ song “Shake Me, Wake Me (When It’s Over)” sung by Holland herself. Steve Lukather collaborates on the album and does a guitar solo during an instrumental break on the last song of the album, Rollin’ By. In addition to the album’s release, 1983 was the year when Amy Holland and Michael McDonald got married. Amy did not release another studio album until 2008, when she released The Journey to Miracle River.
