The Kinleys

The Kinleys were a female country music duo that consisted of identical twin sisters, Heather and Jennifer Kinley (born on November 5, 1970 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania).

As children, Heather and Jennifer began taking vocal lessons after being encouraged by their parents’ singing at home. At the age of 8, they began performing at local talent shows. They also appeared on TV talent show that aired in the Philadelphia area called “Al Alberts’ Showcase.”

When they were 19 years old, the duo moved to Nashville, Tennessee. After five years of practicing and training, the Kinleys attracted the attention of talent scouts and signed a record deal with Epic Records.
In July of 1997, they released their debut single, “Please” which peaked at #7 on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart, staying on the chart for 22 weeks. It also crossed over to the pop charts where it peaked at #67 on the Billboard Hot 100.
On September 23, 1997, the Kinleys released their debut album, “Just Between You and Me” which peaked at #153 on the Billboard 200, #22 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart and #6 on Billboard’s Top Heatseekers Albums chart.

The title song peaked at #12 on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart, staying on the chart for 20 weeks. It also peaked at #122 on Billboard’s Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart.

The last single from the album, “You Make It Seem So Easy” peaked at #48 on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart, staying on the chart for 13 weeks.

The Kinleys’ debut album was certified Gold by the RIAA and its commercial success led to a tour with singer Clint Black and a radio programmers’ showcase in Las Vegas, Nevada. They also won the Academy of Country Music Award for “Top New Vocal Duo\Group.”
In 1998, the duo recorded the song, “Somebody’s Out There Watching” which was featured on the soundtrack to the CBS TV series, “Touched By An Angel.” It peaked at #64 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #19 on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart, staying on the chart for 22 weeks.
In July of 1999, the Kinleys released the single, “My Heart is Still Beating” which peaked at #63 on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart, staying on the chart for only 2 weeks.

It was supposed to be featured on their planned sophomore album (which was scheduled to be released in the fall of 1999), but after the song failed to make the Top 40 on the country music charts, the album was postponed by Epic Records.

After that, the label decided to bring in singer-songwriter\producer Radney Foster to work with the Kinleys in order to broaden their sound and gain stronger appeal on the charts.
In April of 2000, the duo released the single, “She Ain’t the Girl For You” which peaked at #34 on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart, staying on the chart for 21 weeks.

In July of that same year, their sophomore album, “II” was released. The album peaked at #177 on the Billboard 200, #18 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart and #10 on Billboard’s Top Heatseekers Albums chart.

The follow-up single from the album, “I’m In” (which was originally sung by Radney Foster in 1998) peaked at #35 on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart, staying on the chart for 22 weeks and becoming their last charting single to date.

After the release of their second album, the Kinleys left Epic Records due to dissatisfaction with touring and wanting to start families of their own. In 2000, Heather and Jennifer got married seven months apart; both of them have two sons & Heather has two stepchildren.
In 2004, the duo independently released their last album to date, “All in the Family.”

As of 2013, Jennifer worked as a registered nurse in Nashville and sang in church. According to research, Heather appears to be involved in the Doodle Rescue Collective Inc. which rescues labradoodles and goldendoodles dogs.
