Morris Albert (born September 9, 1951) is a Brazilian singer

and songwriter, famous for his 1975 hit single "Feelings".

Born Maurício Alberto Kaisermann in São Paulo, São Paulo,

Brazil, he began his career singing and playing guitar for a

number of bands. In 1973, at a time when many Brazilian

artists were using anglicised names in attempts to break into

the US market, he released his first album, which featured

"Feelings", the song that would eventually bring him

worldwide success. The international release of "Feelings"

sold over 300.000 copies and reached number 45 on the

Billboard Magazine list of top 100 singles in 1975.

"Feelings" was also recorded and performed by many other

artists, such as Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Elvis

Presley, Sarah Vaughan and Johnny Mathis. American punk rock

band The Offspring recorded their own version of "Feelings"

for their 1998 album Americana. Their version featured

different lyrics, changing the meaning of the song, from love

to hate.

In 1988, French songwriter Louis Gaste sued Albert claiming

plagiarism of his song "Pour Toi". Gaste won the lawsuit and

was awarded 88% of the royalties generated by the song.

Morris Albert now lives in Italy with his family and still

performs around the world.
