Grace Knight

Grace Ethel Knight (born 23 December 1955, Manchester)〔 NOTE: On-line version has limited access〕 is an English-born, Australian vocalist, saxophone player, and songwriter. She was a mainstay of Indie pop group Eurogliders during the 1980s which formed in Perth. Knight later became a solo jazz singer and musician based in Sydney. In 1984, Eurogliders released an Australian top ten album, ''This Island'',〔 NOTE: Used for Australian Singles and Albums charting from 1970 until ARIA created their own charts in mid-1988.〕 which spawned their No. 2 hit single, "Heaven (Must Be There)".〔 "Heaven" also peaked at No. 21 on the United States' ''Billboard'' Mainstream Rock charts and appeared on the Hot 100. The song, written by Euroglider's guitarist, Bernie Lynch,〔(【引用サイトリンク】Australasian Performing Right Association (APRA)">title="Heaven Must Be There" at APRA search engine )〕 and vocals by Knight, was their only hit in United States. Knight and Lynch married in 1985 but separated soon after.〔〔 Another Australian top ten album, ''Absolutely'',〔 followed for Eurogliders in 1985, which provided three further local top ten singles, "We Will Together", "The City of Soul" and "Can't Wait to See You".〔
Since Eurogliders disbanded in 1989, Knight has had a successful career as a jazz singer.〔〔 Knight made a cameo appearance in the 1990 TV series ''Come In Spinner'' and sang on its soundtrack, ''Come in Spinner'', recorded with jazz artist Vince Jones,〔 which peaked at No. 4 on the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) albums charts.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Discography Grace Knight )〕 This launched a new career for Knight, with her first solo album, ''Stormy Weather'',〔 which peaked at No. 16 in 1991.〔 Other solo albums followed,〔 ''Gracious'' in 1993, ''Live'' in 1996 and ''Zeitgeist'' in 2000. Eurogliders briefly reformed with Lynch and Knight in 2005 to release two additional albums by 2007, Knight returned to her solo career and released ''Willow'' in 2008.
