Marie Claire D'Ubaldo (born January 17, 1961) is an Argentine singer / musician and a prolific songwriter; she has appeared as a guest vocalist on many albums.
Her biggest personal hit was The Rhythm Is Magic; it went to number 1 in Italy for 5 weeks in the summer – was the 4th most air played single of the year – and was used in the soundtrack to the Italian film Il Ciclone.
Massey's meeting with Annie Rosebery (then at Elektra in London), who was interested in signing Marie Claire, led to the collaboration with Nowels and Steinberg.
According to Tony Moore (ex-Cutting Crew and songwriter / musician and friend of Marie Claire's), 'nobody at Polygram was serious about supporting the album or recording a new one and didn't see "Falling Into You" as a hit, they dropped her'.
Credits Label: Edel This album has only been released in Italy (to date) in December 2009, on the back of the success of the re-recorded 2009 version of Rhythm is Magic (duet with Lola Ponce).
