Her most successful US hit single, "Trouble-Maker", spent two weeks at No. 1. Kelly grew up in Los Angeles, California. In August 1972, during the Olympic Games, she traveled to Munich, West Germany to pursue her dreams of becoming a singer.[1] Prior to releases in the US through composer Giorgio Moroder's Oasis record label during the 1970s, Kelly recorded a single in Germany entitled "Kung Fu Is Back Again" (1974), released on Atlantic and produced by the songwriter-producer Pete Bellotte alongside Moroder. In 1974, Kelly was also hired by Sylvester Levay and Michael Kunze to provide vocals on an upcoming album for what would eventually be known as the Silver Convention.[2] In 1975 she released the single "Love Power" a cover version of a 1967 hit by the Sandpebbles, written by Teddy Vann, and later made famous as part of the repertoire of Luther Vandross. The single was backed with "Drifter", never included in any album and an example of the pre-disco Moroder-Bellotte production, similar to Donna Summer's "Lady of the night" material. In April 1976, Kelly turned to disco with the single "Trouble-Maker" and released an album by the same name. The album contained five tracks, including an extended version of "Love Power". In 1977, she released Zodiac Lady, a controversial album that Casablanca Records, during the disco heyday, refused at first to release. Imports from Italy swamped the international dance floors, creating a hit for the title track and songs such as "Love Sign". This album spawned a twelve-inch single, "Zodiacs", which had major club and radio play. "Funky Stardust", "Love Sign" and "I'm Sagittarius" were released from that album, in addition to "Zodiacs" itself in different countries. "Zodiacs" peaked at No. 24 in the US Hot Dance/Club Play chart in 1977,[3] and at No. 44 in the UK Singles Chart in 1978.[4] "Love Sign" was released as a single in few countries only. Both "Trouble-Maker" and "Zodiac Lady" were produced by Moroder and Bellotte. Gettin' the Spirit, followed in March 1978. Produced by Giorgio Moroder and Bob Esty, it was an album consisting of gospel songs, performed in the disco style. The album featured dance versions of the Edwin Hawkins penned, "Oh Happy Day" and "To My Father's House", with both songs released on one single. "Gettin' the Spirit" was also released with a disco version of "My Sweet Lord". It peaked at No. 9 on the US Hot Dance/Club Play chart in 1978.[3] https://robertakelly.bandcamp.com/ https://robertakelly.webstarts.com/ https://roberta-kelly-for-a-cause-of-women... https://www.discogs.com/artist/41081-Rober...
