艺人介绍

Kelly Marie (born Jacqueline McKinnon, 16 October 1957, Paisley, Renfrewshire) is a Scottish disco singer. Her most notable hit was "Feels Like I'm in Love", a #1 hit in the UK in 1980.

Born to parents Alex and Jeanette McKinnon, the future Kelly Marie began to train 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 #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 #17. Also in 1976, Marie was credited for her cameo vocal on "Sister Mary" a #2 hit in Ireland for Joe Dolan. Her 1977 single, "Run to Me", was a hit in the Netherlands (#22) and South Africa (#5) and in 1978 "Make Love to Me" gave Marie her most significant success (to that point) in the English-speaking world, reaching #2 in South Africa and #5 in Australia: the track spent forty-one weeks in the Australian Top 40 and was ranked as the #12 hit of the year.

"Make Love to Me" might also have returned Marie to the U.S. club charts where "Run to Me" had reached #27, had Helen Reddy not covered the track for the U.S. market.
