Michaela Strachan - Take Good Care Of My Heart.

[IWishItWas1984]

@TheMscrp I never knew there was an album out?????????? What is the track listing and Cat No??

[whirlyfan]

needs a video only complante lol

[pete2784]

Seriously, I did not listen to this tune for 6 months, and now I listen to it again, and yes, I agree with myself: this is really a good mix, and I mean really good. Amazing! It never charted, it enjoys it's obscurity, but oh so unrightly.

[PublicSafetyService]

it had the right sound at the time (IE: The sotck atkin and waterman) although it was produced by someone else, but it wasn't given the promotion it needed, I guess the record company didn't push it, thinking it would get enough attention on its own becasue she was famous, but it didn't get the air play or on TOTP

[flipboyrn]

why oh why is this not available on a cd single or even on some German cd compilation. I will never understand it....This is by far one of the best Hi-Nrg song from the early 90s. Wonderful production, strong vocals.

[john111257]

like it..nice lady

[pete2784]

Massive sampling, tons of synthetizer, heights and lows, huge chorus and sax - does it work with Michaela? Not chartwise, so no new Sonia, Kylie, Donna and other lookalikes. BUT, I like it a lot, a great happy tune from the late 80'ies that does not wear off with time!

[mikeymike666]

I have just posted it M8, you can judge whether or not the sound quality is better!!!

Cheers

[mikeymike666]

I might post my copy then, though the audio isn't a whole helluva lot better than yours!! Cheers M8

@mikeymike666

FAB TUNE!!!

I was just about to post it myself for the world to enjoy!! but you beat me to it!!

[TIBBSY]

@mikeymike666

@mikeymike666

Yes by about 10 years...of course you could post it again as the audio isn't of high quality.

I met her once back in the 90's when she had been starring as Peter Pan at the Richmond Theatre, my friend was working back stage.

Michaela Strachan would go to the pub across the road after the show and i met her and told her how much i loved this song and that i had bought it, and she laughed and said " well your about the only one who did buy it! "

Really lovely lady.

I still love the song too. Reminds me of happy carefree days, i remember it being played alot in my local gay pub! :)

[papatwink]

jeezuz.....this takes me back....i have to admit i actually own this on vinyl. Been years since i heard it LOL

[wpinklady]

yeah me too!! it had a adress on the back so i wrote to her & she sent me her autograph!!!

[sullmister]

did she die?

[whirlyfan]

no she very much alive ! lives in south africa !

[wpinklady]

no it was the London Boys that died & Ralf Rene Maue was the guy who wrote this track & all the London Boys songs

[ShiveCanber]

This track (which I think came out in 1990) was produced by Ralf Rene Maue (not Stock Aitken Waterman) who had been behind the phenomenal success of the London Boys in the late 80's. The style of this song is similar to the London Boys hit 'Chapel Of Love' which also was released in 1990.

[mignonhenne]

it's close to col ,especially the drum beat.

[grantzx]

she did a version of HAPPY RADIO too --- great stuff

[adamsavo]

This one of the best eurodisco songs ever of the late 80´s style. It is unbeliveble how this song never reached the high positions on the charts.

Magic song...

[Mellywelly29]

Fantastic!!!!I love the melody...just brilliant pop!

[amyspeedle]

Can this song be downloaded anywhere?

[nostalgiamix]

I agree, a powerhouse of a song. Very underatted track. Thanks for the posting.

[amyspeedle]

I love this song, it's a shame it wasn't a hit.

[whirlyfan]

she rules ! i reember her on rellay wild show good show ! i heared she lives in s africa now with kid and husband !

[merlin10249]

i have never heard of this song before but it´s fantastic! why wasn´t this a smash hit when released?! it´s a great piece of music.

[pannoni1]

It went NOWHERE in the States as well, not even charting!

[tarttastic]

Love this track! it shoulda been a big hit!!!

[Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay]

Oh Michaela - I didn't know you stooped so low... :)

[christian2000hn]

oh oh oh what a nice song! Didnt know about it until today. It has a real powerful melodic refrain!

[chrisdownie95]

is michaela dead or alive?

[TIBBSY]

Alive And Kicking.

[ALANELEY]

This is actually not SAW or PWL - it is a Ralph Rene Maue production (same as London Boys and some Sinitta tracks) - they all sound great with amazing production values

[SuperGuySanti]

Wow! Fantastic upload man. Thanks. I've never heard the extended version before. I do wish this song made it to the top of the charts like some other S/A/W or PWL songs of the time. (It didnt deserve just a 66 on the charts)

Does anyone know where I can get a copy of this? :D

[cantforgetyou]

No, I'm also looking for a copy of this song. I really like the production and melodie. Sometimes you can find it on ebay.
