Born in Boston, Massachusetts, she moved to Australia to play a featured role in the Australian production of Hair. Hines was then approached to play Mary Magdalene in the Australian production of Jesus Christ Superstar. Hines became the first black woman to play Mary Magdalene, and achieved a second major success.
A record contract followed and her first single released in 1974 was a cover version of James Taylor's "Fire And Rain". Most of her hit singles were released between 1976 and 1979, and included her cover versions of the Burt Bacharach/Hal David song "I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself", and The Rolling Stones' "Jumpin' Jack Flash", and "What I Did For Love" (from A Chorus Line). Her biggest hit was the single that made number 2 in the charts in Australia: "You"; an up-tempo dance song, later covered in the United States by Rita Coolidge.
She continued to record and achieved a few more hits including the dance track "Your Love Still Brings Me To My Knees" in the eighties. "Flashdance, What A Feeling" (originally recorded by Irene Cara), and "Time of Our Lives" were both hits for Hines in 1999.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From day to day you fill my needs.
The dream that burns within my heart will never die. No no.
I bless the day you came along.
You turned my life into a song.
There is no greater love and there will never be...
You're the only one.
From day to day you fill my needs.
Your love still brings me to my knees
Your love is killing me.
I find each day I love you more.
Always the one I'm waiting for.
No matter where I go, no matter what I be,
You're the only one.
Your love still brings me to my knees (Hey baby)
From day to day you fill my needs (Gotta have ya baby)
Your love still brings me to my knees (Yeah)
Your love is killing me.
Now I never knew what life was all about.
You came along, gave me a reason to stand up and shout
I love you. (Yes I do).
(Oh wow) Your love still brings me to my knees.
From day to day you fill my needs.
There is no greater love and there will never be...
You're the only one.
Your love still brings me to my knees (Love ya baby)
From day to day you fill my needs (I find I gotta please)
Your love still brings me to my knees (Oh I gotta have ya baby)
Your love is killing me.
Your love still brings me to my knees.
From day to day you fill my needs.
Your love still brings me to my knees.
Your love still brings me to my knees.
