Madleen Kane (born Madeleine Flerkell 4 March 1958 in Malmö, Sweden), is a Swedish model and singer.
Madleen's debut album Rough Diamond (1978) was originally released in France by CBS and soon after by Warner Bros. in North America.
Cheri (1979), was Kane's second CBS Disques S.A. / Warner Bros. release, which featured "Forbidden Love", a dramatic "pop-opus" arranged by Thor Baldursson.
Unlike the North American albums, the French releases of Rough Diamond and Cheri had gatefold sleeves.
It featured "Cherchez Pas", which was more "electronic" as opposed to her usual symphonic disco songs, and peaked at #18 in Sweden.
Nevertheless, Giorgio Moroder appeared with his mixes in 1981 with "Don't wanna Lose You" and helped her album sales via the clubs, but not radio airplay.
London's Ian Anthony Stephens and Megatone recording artist Paul Parker teamed up to provide Madleen with "I'm No Angel", a Billboard dance hit from her 1985 album, Cover Girl.
