Mary MacGregor is the singer's self-titled third and final album, released in 1980. After recording two albums for Ariola Records - who had also released a Mary MacGregor compilation - MacGregor had recorded the track "Good Friend" for the 1979 film Meatballs whose soundtrack album was released by RSO Records. "Good Friend" had been sufficiently successful - reaching No. 39 on the Billboard Hot 100 - for RSO to sign MacGregor in December 1979. This resultant self-titled album produced a minor hit in "Dancin' Like Lovers" - No. 72 in the spring of 1980 - followed by the non-charting "Somebody Please" which was evidently MacGregor's final single release. The Mary MacGregor album has been issued on CD.
