Today's song was one of two singles she released on her own in 1984 and one you will hear on SIRIUS XM 32 The Bridge: "Got A Hold On Me."

It's a 1984 song and the title track from her second solo album.

It was written by McVie and Todd Sharp, produced by Russ Titelman, and runs 3:52 on the Warner Brothers record label. It got to #10 on Billboard but was #1 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary and Mainstream Rock charts, and #1 on the Canada RPM Adult Contemporary chart.

This would be her only top 10 song in the U.S.

She is backed up on the song by Steve Winwood, Todd Sharp and Lindsay Buckingham.

You may not hear this song much on over the air radio but you will on SIRIUS XM 32 "The Bridge."

Enjoy!
