Amy Nicole Stewart (born January 29, 1956 in
music|1956 in Washington D.C.) is an United
States|American singer.

Stewart trained as a singer and dancer, and
appeared in the stage production Bubbling Brown
Sugar on Broadway, before being signed to a
recording contract by record producer Barry Leng.

Her first single, a disco cover version of the
Eddie Floyd hit "Knock On Wood", reached number
one in the US in April 1979, and earned her a
platinum record and a Grammy Award nomination. It
was her only American hit single, and she was
dismissed as a one hit wonder.

In Europe she established herself as a popular
performer during the disco era of the late 1970s,
scoring her highest chart placing in the UK with
another disco cover version, of The Doors' "Light
My Fire" (released as "Light My Fire/137 Disco
Heaven"), which reached number five in 1979.
Further singles such as "Jealousy" were popular in
European discos, but as disco began to lose
popularity she branched into other contemporary
musical styles. During this period she worked with
such producers as Giorgio Moroder and Ennio
Morricone. Her 1984 single, "Friends" reached
number one in several European countries, and
number 12 in the UK.

Stewart has resided in Italy since the mid 1980s,
and in her adopted homeland has become a respected
performer of a wide range of musical styles. In
1993 and 1994 she was one of several singers
invited to perform at the Vatican City|Vatican
before the Pope in Christmas pageants.
