Biography[edit]
Mary K. Miller was born in 1957 in Houston, Texas.
She began singing in her hometown at an early age. At age 15, she was discovered by Frank Sinatra at a concert in Las Vegas, Nevada. He signed her to Reprise Records. She recorded for both that label and Capitol Records in her teens, but was unsuccessful.[2]
Record industry executive Vincent Kickerillo discovered her at a private party. Unable to secure her a contract with a major label, he founded the Inergi label in 1977. Her debut single was a cover of "I Fall to Pieces", which charted at number 89 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts.[1] Miller charted in the top 20 in 1978 and 1979 with "Handcuffed to a Heartache" and "Next Best Feeling" respectively. Miller charted her last single in 1980 and has not recorded since.[1]
