"Moonlight Shadow" by Mike Oldfield and Maggie Reilly


Here's the first platter that matters on Kyle's Radio Dial... Mike Oldfield and Maggie Reilly's 1982 pop masterpiece "Moonlight Shadow". This song was a smash hit practically everywhere, and reached the top of the charts in Italy, Norway, Spain and Austria... yet it was never released as single or pushed to radio in the American market. 

A damn shame, as it would have sounded very natural being played between Journey and Quarterflash back in the day!

"The first time ever she saw him... carried away by a moonlight shadow..."
