Burning The Ground Exclusive 1981

Celebrating Pride 2021

“Feels Like I’m In Love” is a song written and originally recorded by Ray Dorset with his band Mungo Jerry in 1977.

In 1979, Scottish singer Kelly Marie recorded the song for Pye Records. The song was a sleeper hit on the Scottish club scene before breaking through nationally in the summer of 1980, reaching the top of the UK Singles Chart in September. The following year, aided by a number of remixes the song became a club hit in the US, reaching number ten on the US Hot Dance Club Play chart.

Re-released on the Calibre record label with a new B-side “New York at Night”, it followed a rare breed of record labels who gained a chart-topping success after their debut release.

Charged with cheeky, campy horn flourishes, the song oozes a kind of carefree, shoulder-shimmying joy that won Kelly Marie a sizeable gay following becoming an instant gay anthem.
