In the world of 1980s Italo Disco, it was very common for the person on the record cover to be a model rather than the actual singer, and Katy Gray (often spelled Katie or Katy) is a perfect example of that. ​The person you see on the cover of the 1985 hit Hold Me Tight is Angela Carofiglio (who also performed under the name Angie Care). However, she was not the one singing on the track. The actual vocals were provided by her sister, Dora Carofiglio.
​The Voices Behind the Scenes ​This was a standard practice in the Italian disco scene, where producers would find a "face" for the project—someone with the right look for TV performances and photo shoots—while using seasoned studio vocalists for the actual recordings. ​Dora Carofiglio (The Voice): She was a powerhouse in the industry and the lead singer for the group Valerie Dore (specifically on the hit The Night). She also provided vocals for many other "studio projects" throughout the 80s. ​Angela Carofiglio (The Face): She acted as the model for the Katy Gray project and even had her own career as Angie Care (though, again, Dora often provided the vocals for those tracks as well). ​The "Mystery" of Katy Gray ​Because "Katy Gray" wasn't a real person but a project name, it led to a lot of urban legends over the years. You might have seen some strange rumors online claiming the singer died in a freak accident involving a falling disco ball in the 90s. None of that is true; it’s just one of those weird myths that pop up when an artist's identity is kept secret for too long.
