Kiki Dee is far more than the person who had the mega hit “Don't Go Breaking My Heart” with Elton John. She can boast a very successful career of her own with such hits as “Star”, “I've Got The Music in Me” and the absolutely wonderful “Amoureuse”.
Originally written and performed by French legendary artist Véronique Sanson, Kiki recorded the song in English to make it the classic it is today.
Since writing this I have dug out the original version and although simpler and not so orchestrated, I love that as well.
Born Pauline Matthews in Bradford, Kiki, now 77 is honoured to have been the first white artist to have ever been signed by Tamla Motown.
