Kiki Dee Interview - Life Stories, Elton John stories, Freddie Mercury, Live Aid and so much more.

[@WhippetOut]

Kiki is, and always been incredible. I’m a huge fan. She’s also timeless. A very young 77 years old.

[@gwenharris3025]

Kiki Dee is a fabulous singer and it’s staggering that she’s not been on the legendary stage at Glastonbury! She should be booked asap before she retires ❤ Fantastic interview Lewis!

[@davina000]

aww Kiki is such a lovely lady, thank you for this interview Lewis

[@frannieo1707]

Criminally underated singer, but a phenomenally talented one. Love Kiki's music.

[@juliep4319]

Great interview- I’ve always been a fan of Kiki. As others have said, criminally underrated but she’s a real gem. One of my favourite songs is First Thing In The Morning. ❤

[@glenp6301]

Wow, looking forward to watching this - great guest! Kiki is a supreme vocalist and an absolute class act.

[@stuartsmith30]

Kiki is wonderful - lovely person and fabulous singer. Loved her voice and music since i first heard Amoureuse in 1973 when i was 12 years old.

[@knockshinnoch1950]

WOW how glad am I that I stumbled upon this interview! I've loved Kiki since 1974 when as a 13 year old I first heard Amoureuse. She has an incredible voice and has recorded so many iconic tracks. Frustratingly she never quite achieved the superstar status her talent deserved. The Elton duet was that one moment where everything aligned and the rewards were equal to the material and the talents. It was of course so much more difficult for female artists to be taken seriously back in the 60s and 70s when the music industry and society in general was so misogynistic. Especially here in the UK where only a small handful of females managed to sustain successful chart careers over any period of time and even they struggled! Great to see Kiki looking incredible at 77, she looks and sounds 20 years younger!. Thanks for all the wonderful music and memories Kiki, you helped make the drudgery of life bearable for this confused Scottish teenager. Thanks guys for posting this incredible interview.

Phenomenal woman. I can only dream of having her energy and ability when/if I reach 77 years of age. Great interview Lewis. Thanks!

[@maureenrhysjones4643]

Great head of hair...as well as THE most fabulous voice! Always been a fan of Kiki Dee. Love her down to earthness too. Long may she perform! xxx

[@garymacdonald7165]

Kiki,i must confess,i was the only male at my Glasgow school that liked "Star" 1981! I think it was because the production side of it was so magical and being an ELO/10cc/Supertramp fan,it kind of struck a chord with their productions,plus your brilliant voice was perfect for it!

[@dimsylsodium1]

This is further proof that It's impossible not to like Kiki Dee. Great interview.

[@jimmccoll3723]

I have always felt that Kiki has been underrated in this country. One of the best vocalists we have produced and i am proud to have her Loving & Free album in my collection. Still looking great. 💙

[@redcropuk]

Never seen her interviewed before, what a laid back cool person she is, just lovely. I was small when I got into music cos I had an older sister, and one of the first songs I loved and remember was Amoureuse, I was seven years old and the song remains with me to this day, still in my music playlist.

[@paulgammidge-jefferson9536]

I grew up on a council estate in North Birmingham. The father of a friend had a job 'manager in the music business'. It could have been anything. Every time I went Michael Smith's house there were cards, picture 'pen diagram' etc. I remember sering a Cat Stevens card before he had the hit with Matthew and Son. I saw Kiki's card and I was told she had been signed to Motown. Many years later I went to a KD concert at Pizza Express Birmingham. It is a caberet type venue. Kiki blew the waals out. Afterwards she visited every table. Talk about modesty. Talk about humity. Kiki was off the scale. Love her. Love her music. Star does not begin to describe this mega star. 💜💙💜💙 #utv

[@pauls1969]

She's wonderful - a real national treasure!

[@David-uf8ex]

Love Kiki Dee . Her track I’ve got the music in me is still amazing I’m amazed more people haven’t covered it it’s powerful

[@bham0308]

Brilliant interview!

[@wailin1967]

Excellent interview - Kiki has always been such an elegant lady with that wonderful down to earth sense of place and a young perspective.....and that superb natural voice. My favourites by her are the beautiful, timeless Amoureuse (Veronique Sanson's original is a bit too strident for me) and the dramatic Stop And Think from her Fontana days.

[@carybenjaminportway]

Fantastic interview. I've been a massive Kiki fan for decades. So many great singles, and her eponymous 1977 album is still one of my favourites to this day. She's pure class, and so is Lewis. Well done to both! 👍

[@michaelrickard9890]

Very good interview, and interesting insights offered by Kiki Dee on her career, a glimpse of behind the scenes into song making going as far back as the sixties. A very down to earth girl, with no pretensions and a great voice and singer.

[@hitfrombehind]

How wonderful - and coincidental, as I’ve been listening to Kiki’s back catalogue only recently. Great to see a Yorkshire sister sharing her incredible career history. Thank you so much Kiki, and Lewis 🙏🏾💜

[@fellfox]

Going to see her in a couple of weeks, looking forward to that. Wonderful singer

[@leslieelizabeth219]

Lonnie and Josie,Song for Adam and Night Hours are my favourite Kiki Dee songs. She spoke to me with her soulful voice. Loved her Sugar On The Floor. Which I think she wrote. Thank you for a great interview of a beautiful down to earth artist. 👌

[@DianneClewes]

I saw Kiki in Blood Brothers at the Palace Theatre in Manchester. She was okay but we went to see it again & you could see she was more confident in the role. I've loved her since the 70's, my favourite song is Night Hours from the Kiki Dee titled album.

[@Bongo-sm3mf]

A lovely lady and a beautiful singer

[@josephinecameron6963]

We were lucky to enjoy an intimate show with Kiki and her musical friends at Backstage at the Green in Kinross, Scotland last year. Such a joy 👌🌟✨ Thanks Lewis 🙏

[@knightrats]

Great interview! Love Kiki. I was very lucky to be at that Hyde Park concert with Queen and Kiki and remember the cut out of Elton! Amazing experience x

[@lorraineslee7926]

Yes was there too!Very special!

[@Jack-oi6uz]

I only remember her amazing duet with Elton John... Don't go breaking my heart.Superb.

[@DPF1963]

It’s almost a travesty despite Kiki’s success, she should have been an absolute global legend for the 60s onwards. She’s such lovely down to earth person, I’m a huge fan. ❤

[@nickpalmer3076]

Great interview.Always loved Kiki Dee's music 🎵. What a great interview.

[@repboy1]

Always remember seeing her in Blood Brothers she was so good .

[@dash7148]

Kiki seemed seemed a lovely lady. Really nice interview.

[@lorraineslee7926]

Fabulous interview!Hope to see Kiki again soon!

[@L10Fan]

Thanks for this! Kiki is great❤

[@robertt4176]

Another great interview Again Lewis ❤ you are wonderful

[@onlyonce1707]

Wow can't believe she's 77. So youthful.

[@judijohnson2800]

She is amazing ❤

[@chrismcdonagh688]

One of my 3 all time favourite female singers along with Tina Turner and Joan Armatrading. She should have had far more recognition than she did.

[@michaelpoole587]

Really lovely interesting special interview

[@susanmundy8037]

You looked great in your dungarees Kiki, have loved dungarees ever since 🤗

[@Kelly-just-kelly]

Amoureuse is just the most beautiful song

[@neilwilkins7686]

Maybe you could do an interview with Jaki Graham?

[@lillianmcgovern3251]

Thanks Lewis

[@Jack-oi6uz]

Ah yes I remember I got the music in me.... didn't realise it was her...long time ago.

[@John-vw3lr]

I recently heard Kiki singing the Tami Lynn track “ Why Don’t I run away from you “ check it out it’s actually better than the original in my opinion.

[@toomylight2311]

She’s dead right about Queen I began a whole new fan again after live aid

[@Jack-oi6uz]

Kiki is french slang for the male organ.

[@Rosiedelaroux]

Omg. I thought she died in the 90s
