Kelly Marie Biography

Kelly Marie is one of the most popular and richest Pop Singer who was born on October 16, 1957 in Scotland, United Kingdom. Like her, Amy Macdonald is also a Scottish singer.

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 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 #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 No. 2 in South Africa and No. 5 in Australia: the track spent forty-one weeks in the Australian Top 40 and was ranked as the No. 12 hit of the year.

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).

She married and had five daughters and a son.

She also appeared on the ITV show Hit Me Baby, One More Time in 2005.

Kelly Marie (born Jacqueline McKinnon, 16 October 1957) is a Scottish disco singer, best known for “Feels Like I’m in Love”, a #1 hit in the UK in 1980.

On 7 May 2005, Marie appeared on the ITV show, Hit Me, Baby, One More Time, singing “Feels Like I’m in Love” and “Oops!… I Did It Again” in hopes of progressing to the final to compete for the major label release of a new single. The popular vote went to Chesney Hawkes.
