Deirdre Elaine Cozier, known professionally as Dee D. Jackson, was born on 15 July 1954 in Oxford, England. She is a British singer-associated with the space disco genre-who began her career in the music industry after working as a film producer in Munich. In the late 1970s, she released her first single, "Man of a Man"; however, her breakthrough came with the release of "Automatic Lover" (1978), the lead single from her concept album Cosmic Curves (1978). This song became her greatest commercial success, notching up an estimated six to eight million copies across Europe and peaking at number four on the UK Singles Chart and number five in Germany. Following this success, Dee D. Jackson released several other singles, including "Meteor Man", "Which Way Is Up", "Fireball", "S.O.S. (Love to the Rescue)", and "Thunder and Lightning". Her second studio album, Thunder & Lightning (1980), was less commercially successful than its predecessor. Dee D. Jackson later moved to Italy, where she established a recording studio in Rome and worked as a production and writing assistant for other artists. She released her third album, Blame It on the Rain (1992), but it was withdrawn from the market amid tensions with the distributor. The Her Story compilation came out in 2015 and Living In A Dream in 2020.
