Moonlight Shadow"Moonlight Shadow" is a pop song written by British multi-instrumentalist Mike Oldfield and released as a single in May 1983 and included on the album Crises in the same year. The vocals were performed by the Scottish vocalist Maggie Reilly, who had joined Mike Oldfield in 1980. A 12" single featured an extended version of the song and the single B-side was "Rite of Man" which was a rare instance of Oldfield singing lead vocal. The single peaked at #4 in the British charts, making it Oldfield's second highest ranked single after Portsmouth which reached #3 in 1976. "Moonlight Shadow" was successful throughout Europe, spending four weeks at #2 in Germany, four weeks at #1 in Switzerland and six weeks at #1 in Norway. It was re-released as a maxi-CD single in 1993 to promote Oldfield's Elements box set. Numerous cover versions of "Moonlight Shadow" have been performed over the years, including by The Shadows on their 1986 album Moonlight Shadow. In 2003 a dance version by Groove Coverage reached #1 in Germany. Personnel References
