Timeline
Jacqueline Graham (born 15 September 1956) is a British singer-songwriter.
In 1983 after recording a session for a jazz funk band called Medium Wave Band, Graham was spotted by a talent scout and signed to EMI Records.
Two solo singles were released in the following year, "Heaven Knows" (the title of her first album) and "Once More with the Feeling".
Following her hit version of "Could It Be I'm Falling in Love" with David Grant in 1985, Graham scored a further five UK top 20 hits over a two-year period.
The duet with David Grant, a cover version of the Detroit Spinners track "Could It Be I'm Falling in Love", was released in early 1985 reaching no. 5 in March of that year.
Graham's fourth solo single "Round and Around" saw her return to the UK top 10 a few months later.
A second duet with Grant was released to end the year, entitled "Mated".
Graham's single "Set Me Free" was released in early 1986 and reached no. 7 in the UK, also seeing the success repeated throughout Europe.
"Breaking Away" was released in August as the follow-up single, reaching no. 14 in the UK charts.
Graham's second album of the same name was also released.
Later in 1986 her hit "Step Right Up" was remixed and released, also making the UK top 20.
During this time, American singer Michael McDonald was looking for a female singer to accompany him on the track "On My Own" (originally recorded with Patti LaBelle) for his next UK tour.
After hearing Graham's voice, McDonald was quoted as saying "Jaki is one of the best singers Britain has ever produced".
McDonald later wrote for Graham's albums and has featured her as a special guest on his UK tours.
In 1989, she released her third and final album recorded on the EMI label called From Now On.
The album included two singles: the title track and ballad "The Better Part of Me", both of which failed to reach the UK top 40.
Their self-titled album was released that year on Motown Records.
In 1993, Graham was spotted by AVEX International, Japan, whilst at the Midem music conference and was immediately signed to the label.
In 1994, her cover version of Chaka Khan's hit "Ain't Nobody" reached number one on the US Billboard Dance Club Songs.
Graham was born in Birmingham to Jamaican immigrants.
Work started in 1994 on her album Real Life.
Three singles were released internationally from the album, "You Can Count on Me (For Love)", "Absolute E-Sensual" and the song that would be Graham's biggest international single to date, "Ain't Nobody".
"Ain't Nobody" entered the charts in Europe, Asia, Australia and reached no. 1 in the US Billboard Dance Club Songs chart for five weeks.
In October 2009, Graham performed at the Birmingham Town Hall with the BBC Big Band to perform specially arranged versions of George Gershwin classics.
Both the concert and the transmission that followed later on BBC Radio 2 received high critical acclaim and within a few weeks of the transmission, Graham was invited back, this time to perform Duke Ellington classics in March 2010.
In August 2010, almost 24 years to the date of its original release, Breaking Away – Special Edition was put out on CD across the UK and Ireland via Cherry Pop.
In addition to the 12 songs that were included in the original album, an additional five bonus tracks, three of which were exclusive to the CD, were added.
During 2010, Graham accompanied McDonald and Al Green on their UK 'Legends' Arena Tour which included Birmingham LG, Manchester MEN and London's O2 Arena, as McDonald's special guest.
Later in 2010, Demon Music released Absolute Essential – The Very Best of Jaki Graham.
This would be Graham's first 'official' 'greatest hits' album and included 28 songs over two CDs.
During 2011, Graham was invited to join Cliff Richard on his 'Soulicious' Arena Tour in October.
The event was filmed across two nights at London's O2 Arena and issued as a DVD.
In early 2012, she entered a small recording studio in Leeds, and along with her band, would record her new album entitled For Sentimental Reasons.
Graham returned to the recording studio in Leeds to add some additional backing vocals, and the album was complete.
The mixing of the album took place in early August and was released in October 2012.
In the same year, Graham collaborated with UK music producer Paul Rudd to re-release a new version of 'Set Me Free 2012'.
It was recorded with new vocals at Britannia Row Studios in London.
