Lili-Marlene Premilovich was born on March 30, 1949 in Detroit, Michigan. At the age of 13 her family moved to Hull, England. She met guitarist/songwriter Les Chappell during her teens, and he became her longtime collaborator and life partner.Taking on the name Lene Lovich, she released her debut album 'Stateless' in 1978. This album contained her two biggest hits: 'Lucky number' (a top three hit in the UK) and this single, 'Say when'. It reached number 19 in the UK and the Netherlands. I bought the single in that same year, even though the sleeve was written on and quite damaged. I bought a replacement copy two decades later in the same shop for the same price...
