Wikipedia article"'Feels Like I'm in Love'" is a song written and recorded by Ray Dorset with his band Mungo Jerry. It was a number-one hit on the UK Singles Chart for two weeks in September 1980 for Scottish singer Kelly Marie. Original versionWritten by Ray Dorset of Mungo Jerry, the song was originally recorded by Elvis Presley but he died before it was release. Dorset's group recorded the song but their version was relegated to the B-side of a Belgian single "Sur Le Pont D'Avignon" (A-side). It was also featured on the bands album 'In the summer time'. The band later released several variations and remixes of the song. Kelly Marie versionIn 1979, 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. The song sold 760,000 copies in United Kingdom in 1980 alone. It was then re-released again in 1990 as a remix that was done by PWL.
