Amy's "Holland" McDonald with "How do i survive" written by Paul Bliss. Track charted at #22 in Billboard, 10-4-80. Produced by husband "Michael McDonald" (Doobies & Steely Dan). Two artist in mind duped the music style "Robbie Dupree & Greg Guidry" and quite frankly are excellent as well!
Amy Holland's latest CD is excellent. I got mine on CD baby. She has a beautiful clear voice that goes well with the type of songs she sings. She had an excellent producer, Bernie Chiaravalle who also added a lot of his variety of musical talents to make each song sound great. I was so glad that she was able to get a CD out again after such a long time. If you decide to buy this CD, you won't be sorry.
Amy's birth surname is 'Boersma'. She hit #22 in Billboard, 10-4-80. Coproduced by Michael McDonald, They married in '83, and, are still married today. God bless ya, sister Amy! Thanx,bananawarehouse, for postin' it!
i love Amy Holland. I searched for days to find her 45 of "how do I survive". Back in the day. She is an excellent singer. I didn't know she had a new album. I'm going to buy it right away. Michael McDonald must be proud, hey now!!!!
On this day in 1980 {September 12th} a video of Amy Holland's "How Do I Survive" was aired on the NBC-TV late-night musical variety program, 'The Midnight Special'... At the time the song was at position #38 on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart, four weeks later it would peak at #22 {for 2 weeks} and it spent sixteen weeks on the Top 100... And it reached #34 on Billboard's Adult Contemporary Tracks chart... The Palisades, New York native had one other Top 100 record, a duet with Chris Christian, it was a covered version of "Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing", it peaked at #88 in 1982... Amy Celeste will celebrate her 67th birthday come next May 15th, 2020...
Her new cd is out "Amy Holland- The Journey To Miracle River" on cd baby website. I always wondered what happened to her after she and Michael M. got married... Glad to hear that blast from the past!!!
WOW - great find. Produced by and backing vocals from husband, Grammy award winning legend of West Coast rock - Michael McDonald, formerly of the Doobie Brothers and Steely Dan. Thanks for the upload.
Pretty much, indeed. Check her homepage, there are also a couple of interviews after beating breast cancer where they make clear that faith DOES plays quite a role in their lives.
I love her voice, I love her white outfit and I think it's hilarious her feet--- her heels, even--- never once leave the spot she stands on stage. No flash, but brilliant. Nice smile, great singer. I even love that little yodel thing she does occassionally.
What an adorable song.....I remember growing up, as a teenager in California, waiting for this song to play again on the radio so that I could record it on cassette tape....Thank you sooo much for posting it.....now if only someone would download it on Limewire...that would be great! Love it!
Here's my next move...I am goin' to get me a record and cassette players and a disco ball and get me some nice Amy Holland records and tapes.If you want to listen to 80's music, do it right.
i love this her, i wrote songs for her, gosh i just want her to record them we email each other a few times gosh amy if u reading this come work for me
@DENNISPUPPY Most people must agree with me that she is bad, cause this song didn't go that far, nor did she. She only was able to sing because who she was doing at the time.
i LOVE this woman and to think i work with tina turner u dont make woman like these any more and i know who her husban is but i wont say it but they good people
That Amy Holland never received major success is a travesty! Her songwriting is just amazing. Sadly the industry in the 80's was changing at a rapid pace. It was no longer enough to have talent. You needed a gimmick for the big business that music had become. Thankfully music is headed back to artist control, thanks in part to digital.
@moviegoer1002 If Michael McDonald wasn't bangging her she wouldn't have even been here singing this song. She's soo bad, she wouldn't even make it through week one of American Idol. I've heard of "one hit wonders", but what is she? a "No Hit Wonder"??? I do I survive listening to this crap???
NO, I prefer the old stuff, but this is garbage. If Michael McDonald wasn't bagging her she wouldn't have even been here singing this song. She wouldn't even make it through week one of American Idol.
So nice to see/hear a performer actually singing live instead of lip syncing. Love her and Michael!
Michael McDonald?

Such underrated singer....
I wanted to like this, but I think she's over rated...very weak, and a bit off key, and NO projection what so ever

its rumored that the doobie bros hit "real love was written for her..i read it not sure if its true but it seems well known enough
btw her real name is damned fugly..glad she changed it its terrible
Hit #22 pop, #34 AC in Billboard. I'd love to hear a duet between Michael McDonald and Amy. How great they'd sound together! God bless!

Love the authentic glitch in the intro
Wonderful! More, please!

I'm just glad I have a CD of the Bliss Band album with this tune on it.
She's on fire
Man, she's soooooo beautiful!!!
Pretty much, indeed. Check her homepage, there are also a couple of interviews after beating breast cancer where they make clear that faith DOES plays quite a role in their lives.
Amy Holland was GREAT...I always wondered why she was not promoted like she should have been....
GREAT VIDEO
Was class of 1980 go class of 1980 best 80s class
SOUND IS GREAT AMY I LIKE THAT
beautiful
I loved this record so much. Her voice is so beautiful. Thanks for the post. It's so rare to see her in action.
I Like Amy Voice ! ヤング oh!oh! 昔見たよ！
カバーが多い名曲。ノーランズ、ダン・シールズ、他にも。
でも、なにやら色っぽい感じが良い感じ。
ヤングオーオー、懐かしく。
e esperado por este video, gracias

I imagine this sung by Michael McDonald and it would still fit as it is produced by him.
Sounds a bit like "Physical" by O. Newton John. Well, that was pretty much the same era (late 70s early 80s) so I guess that explains.
perfeito, amo uma boa canção retrô.
Surprised she never had another hit, nice voice, comes across a bit shy, she just gets out there and sings the song.
She's gorgeous!
Here's my next move...I am goin' to get me a record and cassette players and a disco ball and get me some nice Amy Holland records and tapes.If you want to listen to 80's music, do it right.

@HungryVermilingua i like the music, that's about all
I see the dutch in her like 100%
i knew that Michael Mc.Donald wrote or produed this song
The song sounded like Michael McDonald could had wrote or produce it. It has his sound to it.
He did write it
she sure is
never knew she was married Michael Mc.Donald until i saw this post.
young oh!oh!のステージですね。ということは大阪＾＾
Just a sec ...wasn't this movie also released as THE CHECK'S IN THE MAIL around 1986?
Was the THE CHECK'S IN THE MAIL a second title for the movie you've mentioned?
@MauiRockChick Her newest album? Wasn't that released in 1983??
This is a PERFECT example of how radio turns a cover into a ripoff, by overplaying it to death.
no one is twisting your arm making you listen to this. you are of course entitled to your opinion, but i disagree with you. This was a great song
i LOVE this woman and to think i work with tina turner u dont make woman like these any more and i know who her husban is but i wont say it but they good people
*Had MM not decided she was bang worthy, nobody ever would have heard of her. Probably the worst singer to ever win a Grammy.*
Did you do it?
Heyyyy
Coke was big back then.
It sounded too much like Michael McDonald except a female singing it.
Coproduced by Michael McDonald. They ended up gettin' married in '83. Is Amy a Christian? Somebody in the know, please let me know. Thanx!

この夫婦、竹内まりあと山下達郎みたい。
アイドルに手をつけやがって😂
You people must be hearing and seeing something totally different then me, cause this suks.
@moviegoer1002 If Michael McDonald wasn't bangging her she wouldn't have even been here singing this song. She's soo bad, she wouldn't even make it through week one of American Idol.
I've heard of "one hit wonders", but what is she? a "No Hit Wonder"???
I do I survive listening to this crap???
horrible singer, she sounds off key.....
NO, I prefer the old stuff, but this is garbage.
