Editorial Reviews

Scottish soul-rock singer Maggie Bell first gained prominence singing with Stone the Crows, which released its first album in 1970 and broke up in June 1973. Bell went solo with Queen of the Night (featuring the U.S. number 97 "After Midnight") in 1974, followed by Suicide Sal, both of which charted in the U.S. Her only U.K. chart singles came with "Hazell" (number 37) in 1978, and a duet with B.A. Robertson, "Hold Me" (number 11), in 1981. Angel Air. 2006.

5.0 out of 5 stars QUEEN OF THE NIGHT--Re-released, at last!, November 4, 2000

This review is from: Queen of the Night (Audio CD)

There are many underrated singers who seems to have floundered about during the 70's--Bonnie Bramlett and Etta James are just two who come to mind. And then, there's Maggie Bell who never received the recognition in the United States that she deserved. QUEEN OF THE NIGHT is a flawless representation of what Maggie Bell was made of--rock, funk, and blues. She starts off with CADDO QUEEN, pushed to the limit by Ralph MacDonald's insistent percussion (is that a washboard and thimbles in the background?) and ends, almost breathlessly with a pensive TRADE WINDS. A must have!

5.0 out of 5 stars Every Picture Tells A Story. . ., June 4, 2002

Remember that lost gem from Rod Stewart? That is where Maggie's whiskey-drenched voice was first heard by me. I have still have the original two solo efforts by her on vinyl. So played out! So excited to see them released on CD! Maggie has one of those once in a life time voices. Please experience her renditions, you will NOT be disappointed!

5.0 out of 5 stars QUEEN OF THE NIGHT - " I Remember Maggie ", April 12, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Queen of the Night (Audio CD)

In the early and mid 1970's, Maggie Bell was on the circuit all over the place. What happened to her, i do not know, but we have her on CD now! Wow, she brings back memories of Janis Joplin and her own style too. Trade Winds is such a remarkable song performed in her own slow blues way. It should be her signature song. Another that will get to you is As The Years Go Passing By with the band showing that they can deliver. A great CD for us baby boomers. She made many appearances on the Midnight show with Wolfman Jack. Maybe that will shake your memory up about her.
