Kathy Kelly (musician)

Kathleen Ann Kelly (born March 6, 1961) is a singer, songwriter, and producer. Born in Leominster, Massachusetts, she is the third child of The Kelly Family, a multi-generational pop group that achieved success in Europe in the 1990s. She's currently the oldest member of the group, the "Grandmother" of the family.

In 1999, Kelly released her first solo album, The Best of Kathy Kelly, which included her best songs from The Kelly Family albums as well as five new songs. While continuing to record and tour with the group throughout the 2000s, Kelly pursued her solo projects, resulting in three additional LPs and several singles to date. Some of these works featured new versions of traditional songs from around the world, previously performed by the group since the 1970s; notable songs include "Amazing Grace," "Motherless Child," "Old Black Joe," and "The Rose of Tralee".
