Amy Stewart may refer to:
Amy Paulette "Amii" Stewart (born January 29, 1956) is an American disco/soul/dance-pop singer, dancer and actress most famous for her hit disco record "Knock on Wood". Stewart is the stepsister of actress-singer Miquel Brown and aunt to Brown's actress-singer daughter Sinitta.
Amy Stewart was born 5th out of 6 children. Her father, Joseph Stewart II, signed her up for singing and dancing lessons in 1960, when she was four. There already was an Amy Stewart registered with Actor's Equity, so she changed the spelling of her name to Amii. She began attending Howard University in Washington but soon left to work with the D.C. Repertory Dance Company, studying ballet and modern dance. Before being signed to Ariola Records, Stewart was in the touring company of the stage production Bubbling Brown Sugar in 1975, firstly in Miami, then Broadway, and eventually London's West End, where she met Barry Leng, a record producer for Hansa records.
At the end of 1977, "You Really Touched My Heart" a Leng/Simon May composition, produced by Leng, was Stewart's first recording. An album followed, which contained five Leng/May songs, one Leng/Morris song and three cover versions.
Stewart is a popular Scottish first name and surname. The word Stewart is derived from an occupational surname. It originally belonged to a person who was a steward by profession. It is derived from a combination of two Old English words, the word stig, which means house, and the word weard, which means guard. The first name translation of the word is often Stuart, hence the difference in the two.
Michele Francesco Puccioni (April 26, 1961 – January 30, 2009), better known under his stage name Mike Francis, was an Italian singer and composer, born in Florence. He was best known for his 1984 hit, "Survivor".
Francis formed his first band at age 14 with schoolmates from l'Istituto di Studi Americano in Rome. He had his first hit with "Survivor" in 1984 and went on to record ten studio albums.
Among his best known works is the song "Friends" from 1985, a duet with Amii Stewart, which became a big hit in the UK and in the Philippines.
His album Inspired followed the cover of Van Morrison's "Someone Like You", together with Blank & Jones for the compilation album Café del Mar Vol. 12. His website states him as saying: "From that moment many other songs were born, in a simple and spontaneous way, simply "inspired"..."
Beginning in 2000, assisted by his brother Mario (Mari-One) and by the Maltese multi-instrumentalist Aidan Zammit, he gave life to the group Mystic Diversions. Songs by Mystic Diversions were featured on many high-profile chill-out and lounge compilations. In addition to new, original song material, the group also did covers of famous 70s and 80s songs like "Float On" (by The Floaters), and "A Warm Summer Night" (by Chic). The band was composed of members Francesko (Francesco Puccioni), Mari-One (Mari-One Puccioni), and Aidan Zammit. Additional musicians for live sets consisted of Agostino Marangolo (drums), Fabio Pignatelli (bass), Marco Rinalduzzi (guitars), Giovanni Imparato (percussion and vocals), and Wendy Lewis & Laura Serra (backing vocals).

It also reached number 6 in the U.K., and number 2 in Australia, in the same year. It was her only American pop chart hit and as a result she is considered a one hit wonder there although she also achieved several Top 10 and Top 20 hits in the U.S. dance chart.

Toast the plant in your favorite drink with tasty stories from Amy Stewart, author of The Drunken Botanist. Science, history, hilarity and recipes: drink up to plants, even those in your own garden! Host: Tom Spencer.
In her first novel GIRL WAITS WITH GUN, Amy Stewart, who’s well-known for her nonfiction, crafts a solid, absorbing novel based on real-life events—though they’re unusual enough to seem invented. Constance Kopp and her sisters, Norma and Fleurette, are driving into Paterson, New Jersey, on a summer day in 1914 when a motor car rams them, splintering their buggy and mildly injuring all three women and their horse. Drunken lout Henry Kaufman thinks that owning a local silk manufacturer entitles him to ignore Constance’s reasonable request that he pay for the damages, but he’s misjudged his opponent. As Constance’s first-person narrative unfolds, we see that she’s a bold woman unafraid to defy convention, determined to see justice done and to protect her family. “More adventures involving gut...

I wandered down to your place,
It won't be the same
Face to face, I look at you
But you turned away
Where did we go wrong
after love so long?
Where is the love I once knew?
Oh You-oo, You really touched my heart,
I never knew-oo that love could go so far
So capture the moment before it's all over with you
I walk away but it's hard
when half of me could stay
You can call out my name,
but our love will never, never be the same
Where did we go wrong
after love so long?
Where is the love I once knew?
Oh You-oo, You really touched my heart,
I never knew-oo that love could go so far
Oh You-oo, You really touched my heart,
So capture the moment before it's all over with you,
Ooh-Ooh...
(Instrumental)
Where did we go wrong
after love so long?
Where is the love I once knew?
Oh You-oo, You really touched my heart,
I never knew-oo that love could go so far
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, Capture the moment)
So, capture the moment
before it's all over
So, capture the moment
before it's all over
You-oo, You really touched my heart,
I never knew-oo, never knew, never knew that love could go so far
You-oo, You really touched my heart
So capture the moment before it's all over with you
