[ajaugenti]

[zammochun]

What a stunning woman. Classic video, thank you very much. I wish I had lived in a world where women wore white jump suits and music sounded this good, ahhhhhh.........

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!

[DaveWollenberg]

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!

[marchrabbit85]

A girl can sing. Not like today's bitches

[bigsbz]

An underrated singer. Too bad she did not get more radio play.

[futsal1958]

I'm just glad I have a CD of the Bliss Band album with this tune on it.

[Jazzsander]

@futsal1958

I can't find that anymore.

I have the first album, dinner with raoul

[Jazzsander]

I can't find that anymore.

I have the first album, dinner with raoul

[aimeemannfan2010]

I have to disagree. I like this song and Amy Holland.

[Spence12]

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.

[TheBman146]

GAYYYY!?!?!

[HungryVermilingua]

Coke was big back then. 

[Cebelle823]

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!

[durgaaa]

she has a sweet little smile and that is why Michael keeps her. He likes that she sings, but if she sang as well as he, then they would not stay married because that is how showpeople's ego works.

[DaveWollenberg]

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!

[nothinghumanlovesfor]

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

[discovery781]

horrible singer, she sounds off key.....

[moviegoer1002]

@discovery781, no Amy is NOT OFF-KEY ASSHOLE. She's a great singer.

[discovery781]

@moviegoer1002 shes off key and your deaf....and shes not very attractive either

[moviegoer1002]

@discovery781, no I'm not deaf, SHE"S ATTRACTIVE AND CAN SING GOOD.

[HungryVermilingua]

You people must be hearing and seeing something totally different then me, cause this suks.

[DENNISPUPPY]

i guess you like butchered up crap like we are the world 2010

[HungryVermilingua]

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.

[moviegoer1002]

@HungryVermilingua, it does not suck asshole.

[HungryVermilingua]

@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???

[moviegoer1002]

@HungryVermilingua, I think she would.

[BigTimeBluesFan989]

@HungryVermilingua i like the music, that's about all

[DENNISPUPPY]

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

[HungryVermilingua]

@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.

[f00zball]

still good :D

[f00zball]

looks lovely there

[f00zball]

yeh shes great :D

[ViewerMovies3001]

Amy Holland is my favorite female vocalist from the 1980's. She is definately the best. :)

[silencioso47]

She's on fire

[Fher9277]

[marclois]

Great song and a fabulous singer

[DENNISPUPPY]

[DENNISPUPPY]

[StaytonHeyward]

[CRDT]

My favorite female vocalist ever.

[ViewerMovies3001]

[florpeeters]

The world can never have too many female Michael McDonald's. :O)

[davidjeffrotull]

lol so true. that's his wife, right?

[DENNISPUPPY]

she sure is

[viewer3001]

I wonder if she ever performed "She's on Fire" live

[mstewart61]

The song sounded like Michael McDonald could had wrote or produce it. It has his sound to it.

[donnybaker]

He did produce it. It's also his wife.

[mstewart61]

It sounded too much like Michael McDonald except a female singing it.

[tbenn77]

Amy Holland was GREAT...I always wondered why she was not promoted like she should have been....

[DENNISPUPPY]

BEEN TRYING TO FIND THIS SONG FOR EVER

[DENNISPUPPY]

GREAT VIDEO

[daisylulubel]

[saigodondon]

懐かしい動画をありがとうございます。

「ヤング　オー　オー」はカップヌードルを

食べながら見てました。（例のフォークで）

しかし、まぁ、レアな物をよくぞお持ちで。

[nancypo1]

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!!!

[kperk014]

They are living in the big city of Leiper's Fork, Tn just outside of Nashville.

[viewer3001]

Amy Holland is the best 80's singer i have ever heard. She performed "She's on Fire", "Nothin We can do" (from the lion of africa, with chris farren) and "shooting for the moon" (from teen wolf)

[viewer3001]

No its about a diamond dealer (Brian Dennehy) and a doctor (Brooke Adams) who join forces to make their way to Kenya.

[diuga1]

Just a sec ...wasn't this movie also released as THE CHECK'S IN THE MAIL around 1986?

[viewer3001]

no it was released in 1987

[diuga1]

Was the THE CHECK'S IN THE MAIL a second title for the movie you've mentioned?

[viewer3001]

it was not, sorry :(

[diuga1]

Thank you, Viewer.

[viewer3001]

you're welcome :D

[imbees2]

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!!!!

[McNugget25]

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.

[StaytonHeyward]

the guitar player on this song is Michael Landau Of Maxus and background vocals is

Jay Gruska and Robbie Buchanan the bass player on this song is Michael Dempsey

[StaytonHeyward]

i remember that Donlad Fagen was going to record this song for the album Gaucho but Gary Katz Didn't like it

[MauiRockChick]

Her new album is AWESOME!! I got to hear it but it is not released yet - Watch for it! :) AMY IS AMAZING!

[HungryVermilingua]

@MauiRockChick Her newest album? Wasn't that released in 1983??

[Ben121974]

What a voice! What a beautiful woman!

[jackmagicdotcom]

What a delight to see and hear this. One of my favorite songs and performers ever. Kudos!

[EmmaFroggie]
