She began singing at the age of 11 with her eldest brother's band. After his untimely death, she decided to pursue a career in music as a tribute.[2] She had released a number of standards in the 1970s on the Pye record label and drew crowds at cabarets. Her cover of the song "One Day at a Time", written by Marijohn Wilkin and Kris Kristofferson, reached the top of the UK Singles Chart for three weeks in November 1979.[1] Her follow-up singles failed to chart, so she has the dubious honour of being classified as a one-hit wonder, though this should be viewed in the context that she was successful on the albums chart and had a BBC TV show which was also successful. She placed six albums in the UK Albums Chart between 1974 and 1980, including four that reached the Top 20.[2] Although out of the limelight for a period while nursing her sick mother, Martell has now returned to the music industry and is still touring the UK. She has released a few albums on the ScotDisc label. Her double album One Day at a Time: An Anthology of Song was released on Castle Records in 2003.[3] HealthMartell has had surgery to replace a valve in her heart, and in March 2008 underwent a triple heart bypass operation.{{cn|date=August 2015}} See also
