Alison MacCallum
Alison MacCallum (born 7 April 1951), also written Alison McCallum, is an Australian rock singer from the late 1960s and 1970s. Her two studio albums are ''Fresh Water'' (March 1972) and ''Excuse Me'' (October 1975). In March 1972 she issued her most successful charting single, "Superman", which peaked at No. 12 on ''Go-Set''s National Top 40. In August that year MacCallum provided lead vocals for the Labor Party's campaign theme song, "It's Time", for the 1972 election. By the late 1970s, she had concentrated on session work and then "disappeared from public view". According to Australian musicologist, Ian McFarlane, MacCallum was "a soul/blues stylist of considerable flair and passion".
==Early career==
Alison MacCallum was born on 7 April 1951 and began her music career in 1967, at the age of 16, as the singer in a succession of Sydney bands.〔 Her influences include Ma Rainey, Bessie Smith, Clara Ward and Marianne Williams.〔 She began with the Geoff Bull Jazz Band, and the York Gospel Singers.〔 She soon joined the Big Apple Union, a soul band, which evolved into Dr Kandy's Third Eye,〔 in which she shared lead vocals with Gulliver Smith, (later of Company Caine).〔〔 In June 1969, MacCallum joined a seven-piece blue-eyed soul band, This Hallelujah Chorus, sharing lead vocals with Ed Mayne. Also during that year she recorded a cover version of The Bee Gees track "To Love Somebody" with Tully for the ABC-TV show ''Fusions'',〔 however it was not released commercially until 1979 on the various artists' compilation album, ''Alberts Archives'', selected by Glenn A. Baker.
At the end of 1970 MacCallum joined Freshwater, a soul-pop band, which had formed in New Zealand in 1968.〔〔 They had achieved notoriety for their controversial May 1970 single, "Satan" / "Satan's Woman" – about the Sharon Tate murders.〔 Initially sharing lead vocals with Ian Johnson, by September 1971 she was sole lead vocalist alongside Tony Bolton on drums, Rod Coe on bass guitar, David Fookes on keyboards, and Murray Partridge on lead guitar and backing voclas.〔 In November 1971 the band's final single, "I Ain't Got the Time", was issued – featuring MacCallum's first released appearance – which reached the top 20 in the local charts and peaked at No. 30 on the Kent Music Report Singles Chart.〔〔 After the demise of Freshwater in that month,〔 she briefly joined Ray Brown's band, One Ton Gypsy, before going solo in early 1972.〔〔
