From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kelly Marie (born Jacqueline McKinnon, 16th October 1957, Paisley, Renfrewshire) is a British disco singer.

Born to parents Alex and Jeanette McKinnon, she had several hits internationally during the late 1970s, including "Who's that lady with that man?" (1976, #1 in France), "Run to me" (1977, #23 in the Netherlands) and "Make Love to Me" (1978). Her biggest hit by far was "Feels Like I'm in Love" (1980). That track was written by Peter Yellowstone of Mungo Jerry.

Marie made the most of the opportunity, and enjoyed the third biggest selling single of 1980 in the UK.

Her other UK hit singles were "Loving Just for Fun", "Hot Love" and "Love Trial" - although the latter only made it to number 51 in the UK Singles Chart in 1981.

• "Baby Belinda"
• "Goodbye Night"
• "Help Me"
• "Sing Along Alone"
