Jacqueline Graham (born 15 September 1956) is a British singer-songwriter.

1983

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".

1985

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".

This peaked at no. 20.

1986

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.

1989

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.

1991

In 1991, Graham joined with Paul Hardcastle in the group Kiss the Sky.

Their self-titled album was released that year on Motown Records.

1993

1994

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.

2009

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.
