Raymond Edward Dorset [citation needed] (born 21 March 1946) is a British guitarist, singer, songwriter, and founder of Mungo Jerry.

Dorset composed most of the group's songs, and in 1979 wrote "Feels Like I'm in Love" becoming a number one hit single for the Scottish disco singer Kelly Marie.

[2] He composed most of the songs for the band, including the hit singles "In the Summertime", "Baby Jump", "Lady Rose", "You Don't Have to Be in the Army to Fight in the War", "Long Legged Woman Dressed in Black", and "Hello Nadine".

In 1972, he released the album Cold Blue Excursion, made up entirely of self-penned songs, many featuring strings and brass accompaniment.

"[7] In 2017, the High Court ordered Dorset to pay AMI a sum of £33,600, finding that he had misrepresented the ownership rights to the song.

In 2016, Dorset said that he had suffered from irritable bowel syndrome for over 45 years, partly blaming the "rock 'n' roll lifestyle" that he enjoyed after the success of "In the Summertime".
