One of the best parts of my job is being able to talk to a range of people and to find out a little more about them and their passions.
Back in September 2004 I had the real delight of spending time on the phone with Marcia Hines.
She was wonderfully friendly and a very easy person to interview.
We discussed Australian Idol for a short time but then focussed on the album she had just released at that time, Hinesight – Songs from the Journey.
Back then she had recorded a wide range of songs from Sam Cook’s You Send Me to Donald Fagen’s IGY. There was a wonderful version of James Taylor’s Shower the People with added vocals from the late Belinda Emmett, and Ian Moss joined Marcia on the Dragon classic Sunshine.
However, the stand out track for me was her recording of When I Fall in Love. It has a wonderfully rich arrangement and her vocals are to die for. The story behind her recording of the song is touching.
I just dug the interview out of the archives and it’s now available for you to listen to with the media player below.

I absolutely agree, one of my most favorite female singers also. I got the CD too, I want to get Discotech that she recorded with Danni, did you see them on Sunrise not long ago, a lovely relationship between mother and daughter.
The joked around and sang a short song they use to sing on the way to school when they meet a red traffic light, very funny!!
