The Kinleys
The Kinleys were an American country music duo composed of identical twin sisters Heather and Jennifer Kinley (born November 5, 1970). Between 1997 and 2000, they recorded two albums for the Epic Records label (1997's ''Just Between You and Me'' and 2001's ''II''), also charting eight singles on the U.S. ''Billboard'' Hot Country Songs charts in that timespan. A third album, ''All in the Family'', was issued in 2004 on the independent Identical label.
==Biography==
Having started out on ''Al Alberts' Showcase'', a televised talent show from the Philadelphia area, the twins moved to Nashville at the age of 19. After five years of training and practicing, they caught the attention of talent scouts and were signed with Epic Records. Their debut album ''Just Between You and Me'' was issued in late 1997, producing a No. 7 hit on the ''Billboard'' country singles charts in its lead-off single "Please". This song was followed by the album's title track at No. 12, although the next two singles both fell short of Top 40. ''Just Between You and Me'' was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America. Its commercial success led to a tour with Clint Black and a radio programmers' showcase in Las Vegas, Nevada. They also won the Academy of Country Music's 1997 award for Top New Vocal Duo/Group.〔
The duo also recorded the song "Somebody's Out There Watching", which was used on the TV soundtrack album for the show ''Touched by an Angel''. Released as a single in 1998, it reached Top 20 on the country charts.〔 After it, they released "My Heart Is Still Beating", which failed to make Top 40. The duo did not release another single until "She Ain't the Girl for You", the first single from their second album, ''II''. This album also produced a minor single in "I'm In", which peaked at number 35 on the country charts. Ten years later, Keith Urban released a cover of this song, which went to number 2.〔 Half of ''II'' was produced by Tony Haselden and Russ Zavitson, with whom the duo worked on their first album, while singer-songwriter Radney Foster (who also co-wrote "I'm In") produced the other half.
After ''II'', the Kinleys exited Epic's roster, as "neither enjoyed life on the road one bit" and both had wanted to start families. They self-released their third and final album, ''All in the Family'', in 2004 before disbanding.
