Born in Jackson, Mississippi, Kinney began singing in the late 1960s, and joined the vocal group, The Poppies, replacing their former singer, Patsy McClune. Kinney remained in the group with Dorothy Moore and Rosemary Taylor for about two years, and also released a solo single, "Your Love's Not Reliable", during this time, however it was not a success.
In the early 1970s she began working as a session musician and backing vocalist. Among the songs she sang on were King Floyd's "Groove Me", and her former "Poppie" bandmate Dorothy Moore's 1976 Top 10 single, "Misty Blue".
By then having settled as a housewife, Kinney in 1979 decided to attempt a comeback, and she recorded her own version of "Groove Me", but changed the rhythm on the song to turn it into a disco dance track. The song reached number 6 on the Billboard dance chart. Her next single "Together We Are Beautiful", released in 1980 was another disco song, but with a slower and more sultry beat. It had been recorded by the British vocalist, Steve Allan, eighteen months earlier. It failed to chart in the United States, but oddly reached number one in the United Kingdom.
Kinney's subsequent releases attempted to continue in the disco style, however by this time the disco fad had reached its peak and Kinney was unable to repeat her success. By 1983 she had returned to her earlier career as a backing vocalist. In 1994, Music Club released an album (MCCD 167) of Kinney's records called Chemistry The Best Of under the licence from Malaco Records, which contained 17 tracks.
Together We Are Beautiful

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And now he's taking over
And it's beautiful
Yes, it's beautiful
I've gone with better looking guys
He's gone with prettier looking girls
But now we're beautiful
I don't need love affairs anymore
I don't need love affairs anymore
Can't you see, it's the chemistry
You really must agree
Together we are beautiful
We are so beautiful
I am the rain, he is the sun
And now we've made a rainbow
I think it's beautiful
It's really beautiful
I don't need love affairs anymore
I don't need love affairs anymore
Can't you see, it's the chemistry
You really must agree
Together we are beautiful
We are beautiful
And if the whole world fell in love
Just like me and my man
This would be beautiful
This would be so beautiful
I don't need love affairs anymore
No, I don't need love affairs anymore
Can't you see, oh it's the chemistry
And together we are beautiful
We are beautiful
Can't you see, it's the chemistry
You really must agree
Together we are beautiful
We are beautiful
Beautiful
We are beautiful
The lyrics of "Together We Are Beautiful" by Fern Kinney narrates the story of the singer who has found "the one" in her life, and even though he might not be the perfect match from the societal standards of beauty, together they make a beautiful couple. The singer is amazed by the chemistry they share and how they complement each other like the rain and the sun to make one perfect rainbow. She claims that she doesn't need any more love affairs because with him, she has found everything she ever needed. The singer believes that their love story is so beautiful that if the whole world were to fall in love like them, it would result in a world filled with immense beauty.
The whole song puts emphasis on the message that beauty is subjective and can have diverse interpretations. Society always portrays beauty to adhere to specific standards, but in reality, beauty is what you see, feel, and believe. The love shared by the singer and her partner is not about physical appearance, but rather it's about the emotional connection that they share, and that emotional bond makes them more beautiful together. The song drives the message that what society defines as beautiful or perfect is not necessarily what one should seek, as finding true love and true beauty comes from within.
