Cohen Executive-Producer – Ellis Elias Produced by Peter Yellowstone courtesy of Red Bus Records (Intarnational) Ltd Kelly Marie (born Jacqueline McKinnon; 16 October 1957) is a Scottish singer, best known for the song “Feels Like I’m in Love“, a No. 1 hit in the UK in 1980. Born to Alex and Jeanette McKinnon, Kelly Marie began training for a performing career at age ten. She began appearing in singing competitions at age twelve and made her television debut at age fifteen. At age sixteen, as Keli Brown, she appeared on the television talent show Opportunity Knocks winning four times, with her rendition of “I Don’t Know How to Love Him“. This exposure led to her signing with Pye Records, who released Marie’s debut single “Who’s that Lady with My Man“ in April 1976: that track reached No. 5 in France during the summer and earned a gold disc for sales in excess of 300,000 copies: the follow-up, “Help Me“, was also a hit in France, reaching No. 17. Also in 1976, she was credited for her cameo vocal on “Sister Mary“ a No. 2 hit in Ireland for Joe Dolan. Her 1977 single, “Run to Me“, was a hit in the Netherlands (No. 22) and South Africa (No. 5), while in Canada, the B-side of “Run to Me“ titled “Listen to the Children“ reached No. 36 on the Canadian A.C. chart on 17 September 1977. In 1978, “Make Love to Me“ gave Marie her most significant success (to that point) in the English-speaking world, reaching No. 2 in South Africa and No. 5 in Australia; the track spent forty-one weeks in the Australian Top 100 and was ranked as the No. 12 hit of the year. “Feels Like I’m in Love“ Marie chanced across the song “Feels Like I’m in Love“ in a music publishing office: Ray Dorset had written it in 1977 in hopes of having Elvis Presley record it; it’s unclear if the song was ever pitched to Presley before his death that year. Dorset’s group Mungo Jerry did record the song but their version was relegated to the B-side of a Belgian single “Sur Le Pont D’Avignon“ (A-side). Marie and Peter Yellowstone – who had co-written her hits with Mike Tinsley – saw the potential of the song as a follow-up to “Make Love to Me“, and Marie’s recording of “Feels Like I’m in Love“ returned her to the top 10 in South Africa (No. 7) in November 1979. Like all of Marie’s recordings to that date, “Feels Like I’m in Love“ initially failed to become a hit in the UK, but it did become a popular disco tune first in Scotland and eventually all over Britain. The track’s prolonged popularity in the clubs led Pye to re-release the song in the summer of 1980, and after a No. 61 debut on the chart dated 2 August, “Feels Like I’m in Love“ then entered the top ten on 23 August, and spent the weeks of 13 and 20 September at No. 1. The track also enjoyed international success with chart rankings of No. 6 in Austria, No. 2 in Belgium, No. 6 in Australia, No. 5 in Germany, and No. 3 in the Netherlands and Ireland. In addition, the track reached No. 10 on the U.S. Dance chart in 1981. Studio albums: Who’s That Lady with My Man?
