Kiki Dee Amoureuse HQ TOTP 15-11-1973

[@rhondamckay1683]

Her voice is actually perfect. I hear the story through her emotion, breathtaking.

[@justincase2271]

It’s beyond me why this wasn’t a massive hit and Kiki a superstar. So many talentless artists landed top positions in the charts with some crap while gems like this got more or less unnoticed.

[@carrie-anneking3461]

Probably didn't want to sell her soul to satan

[@toomuchinformation]

This got to no 9 in the charts, so it didn't go unnoticed.

@@toomuchinformation I remember it well in the UK. {:o:O:}

[@sherlee123]

I still love it now

[@mastercraft5798]

It was... a hit, and it sold many copies. It just didn't make the No1 spot because there was a lot of competition around at that time. Believe me, if this song had been released ten years later, it would have held the No1 spot for ages.

[@feeltheforce10]

Reached number 13 in the charts.Great vocals - no electronic trickery just pure talent.

[@MYJETGLO]

This is probably the greatest Top of the Pops performance due to the fact that it's all live....beyond stunning!!!!

[@johnknoyle3781]

Wow one of my favourite songs. An Kiki so good. Beautiful song. An live also.

[@ackers72]

Singing live here too as normally they mimed to a backing track on TOTP, and Kiki sounds absolutely superb

[@garyquinlan4075]

Lovely song sung by a lovely singer. Light years above a lot of today's mediocrity.

Love this lovely lass from Bradford! Top class! 👍🏻

[@davidhughes7944]

Originally a song in the French language, but translated very successfully into the English language. Who could possibly have sung it more beautifully than the amazing Kiki Dee? This song was hers from the very start. What a truly lovely, talented lady. Thank you so much, Kiki Dee.

[@TheTioute]

Song written and performed originally by Véronique Sanson ... great French artist kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYOam36fhLJ2p9E

That was one of the most beautiful songs of the 1970s

Yes, very good Kiki Dee. Song belong to Veronique Sanson! 👍

I can’t believe this fantastic song has escaped me all these years, but at least now iv found it.

[@combivan4346]

She is singing in that live, not like these days, no auto tune no dancers around her, just her, that is talent, brilliant!

[@noregretcoyote1808]

‘I feel the rainfall of another planet’ Gives me goosebumps.

Kiki Dee interprète merveilleusement la chanson de Véronique Sanson! J'en ai les larmes aux yeux ! 🥲

[@marccas10]

​@TerrenLiberté From France to Bradford eh?

[@Elsie-bt4fk]

The only part kept from the original french song written, composed, sung by Véronique Sanson..."Je ressens la pluie d'une autre planète". The english lyrics are good but the french lyrics are much better.

[@Truth1561]

Can’t believe this lovely lady is 73 now- and still touring!

[@jamesbarbour8400]

A shame she still has to, at that age - very under appreciated and talented artist, unlike today, where many are over appreciated but have only a fraction of this lady's talent.

[@Truth1561]

​@@jamesbarbour8400many artists enjoy performing. I saw Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood in May at RAH, both older than Kiki. I saw Roxy music on their final tour October 2022- again all older than Kiki.

[@jimload5011]

a lovely yorkshire lass with a beautiful voice

[@williamgeorgefraser]

Written by Véronique Sanson (who married Steven Stills), this is an amazing song sung by a beautiful artist. I was totally in love with Kiki when this came out.

[@paulryan3951]

This is the gold standard of performance and song. Beautiful lyrics, music and singer. A totally moving experience and I don't why it makes me cry...

I think Kiki is now my favorite female singer

[@NEMES1-S]

This brings back so many memories of my first girlfriend. My first heartbreak. A very unusual live non-mimed performance from a to quality artiste,

[@McPheinhosa]

Extraordinary to think that she had already been around for 8 or 9 years before she had her first big hit. Kiki always said that she was so proud to have performed on Top of the Pops and that her mum and dad were still with her to see her achieve success. Incidentally Paul McCartney also appeared in this episode. She sings this flawlessly. Beautiful singer and beautiful song.

[@marty8535]

Was entranced by this song back in '73. Still am entranced! Beautiful song!

[@gordontaylor3489]

marty : A beautiful song, beautifully sung; like you, I first heard this in 1973, and I still love it... it gives you goosebumps.

[@Tomovox_PAMS_Radio_JIngles]

"Entranced" is exactly the word. I had my first listen to this today. Here I am some 9 hours later and still can't get it out of my system. It's hauntingly stunning.

The good old days when ladies had talent. Where the hell is that time machine?

[@scattygirl1]

They still do- Adele, Lady Gaga, Beyonce , Alicia Keys, Celine Dionne. The list of talented and successful current female soloists is a very long one, and longer than it has ever been before. Denigrating the present day by ignoring the positives that still exist is a recipe for unhappiness.

[@davewilko11]

How have I never heard this before - What a stunning voice Kiki has, going to have a look at her back catalouge - Why was she not a bigger success?

[@Tomovox_PAMS_Radio_JIngles]

Check out the album she did for Motown. Kiki's voice was so captivating, the son of someone at Motown who had heard her in the UK told them about her. Motown was high on her and brought her to Detroit for a few weeks to record nearly enough for two albums. Kiki sad she enjoyed her time there. Was listening to that album today and it brought me here to find her other songs. This one. Wow. I started listening to this about 9 hours ago and I keep having to play it over and over. What an amazing, beautiful, voice. Kiki is a beautiful person.
