My friend Chris and his 'Willingly Gullible Mix' of Maxine Nightingale's million seller 'Lead Me On' comprise this post. I've used a couple of performance clips of the beautiful British singer to create this extended version.  A slower version was initially released as a single; here in Australia, but a remixed and slightly faster one was used as the 7 inch in America and produced the #1 Adult Contemporary hit . 'Lead Me On' was penned by Allee Willis and David Lasley and purportedly after they got the chorus and verse, presented it to their publisher who was enthusiastic and the pair finished it in 30 minutes! Maxine's then producer Denny Diante was equally keen and the rest is history; with the 7 non consecutive weeks at #1 in the summer of 1979, and a Top 5 placing on the Billboard Top 100. It is still one of my favourite tunes of that year and 40 years on, I am no less enamoured by the song or its sublime singer. Sadly the track was not a Top 40 hit downunder (surprising as Maxine scored 3 national hits in 1976 and 1977) but it is one of my most treasured possessions. Chris has done a lovely job re-editing the faster version - giving us fans more to love from this memorable hit from 1979.
