Marcia Hines Biography

Marcia Hines is one of the most popular and richest Singer who was born on July 20, 1953 in Boston, Australia. Marcia Elaine Hines (born 20 July 1953) is an American-Australian actress, singer, and television personality. Hines was 16 when she made her stage debut in Australia’s stage musical Hair. She then went on to play the role of Mary Magdalene with Jesus Christ Superstar. Her greatest commercial success was as a recording artist in the late 1970s. She had several hits singles including “Fire and Rain”, I Just Don’t know What to do with Myself”, and “You”. Also, her Top Ten albums Marcia Shines and Shining were among her top ten. TV Week readers voted Hines “Queen of Pop”, for three consecutive years starting in 1976.

Hines was a member of the jazz band Daly-Wilson Big Band after Jesus Christ Superstar ended in February 1974. The album Daly-Wilson Big Band with Marcia Hines was released in 1975. Hines sang the covers songs “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough”, and “Do you know what it means to Miss New Orleans?” Hines toured from Australia with Daly-Wilson Big Band, where he supported B. B. King and Wilson Pickett, Los Angeles. Then to Europe and the Soviet Union for a month. Hines was also the backing vocalist for Jim Keays’ solo album, The Boy from the Stars in late 1974.

Top Ten Australian album chart success also occurred in the 1970s with Marcia Shines peaking at number 4 in January 1976, Shining number 3 November 1976, Ladies and Gentlemen number 6 August 1977 and Marcia Hines Live Across Australia number 7 in March 1978. Her albums have sold close to a million copies and Hines was the first Australian female performer to attain a Platinum record.

Hines’ biggest hit was with Tom Snow’s “You”, which reached number 2 in the singles charts in Australia in October 1977. It was an up-tempo dance song, later covered in the U.S. by Rita Coolidge. The song, however, nearly didn’t make it to Marcia. Robie Porter had put the song into his “don’t use” pile. Mark Kennedy, her backing band’s drummer (ex-Spectrum, Doug Parkinson in Focus, Ayers Rock), saw the sheet music in the studio and began arguing the songs’ worth to Porter. Porter subsequently changed his mind about the song.

Hines’ first single was released in May 1975, when she signed a record deal with Wizard Records’ Robie Porter. It was a cover of James Taylor’s “Fire and Rain”. Between 1976 and 1979, five Top Ten singles were issued by Hines. These included covers of Artie Wayne’s “From the Inside”, Burt Bacharach/Hal David’s “I Just Don’t Know What To Do With Myself”, “What Did I for Love” (from A Chorus Line), and Karen Carpenter’s “Something’s Missing (in my Life).
