Background notes
Archive material and source history
Alan O'Day wrote songs for other artists like Helen Reddy and Anne Murray before releasing his own material. In 1977, he put out a self-titled debut album that included 'Undercover Angel,' which became a hit. Another track from that period, 'Started Out Dancing, Ended Up Making Love,' shows his knack for straightforward pop songwriting.
He stepped back from music for a while in the 1980s, then returned to recording and performing in the 2000s. Some later work faced questions about originality, but O'Day kept writing and playing until his death in 2012. His catalog includes albums like 'Innocence' from 1978 and 'Every Minute, Every Hour' from 2009.
O'Day mostly worked alone, without a regular band. The songs he wrote for others and his own recordings, particularly 'Undercover Angel,' are what people remember.
