Love Kiki Dee. Don't hear enough of her.

[@kualumpurzagreb3408]

Kiki Dee ! ❤ She looks absolutely Fabulous !! Love her ! Wonderful Music ! ❤❤❤❤

[@seye8eyes]

Wow amazing Kiki Dee still around at the age of 76 and Angela as well age 80 years old both ladies looking very elegant

[@frannieo1707]

Criminally underrated singer. Fantastic soulful voice. Pure talent.

[@markaxworthy2508]

Yup. If there hadn't already been a Dusty Springfield, Kiki Dee would have filled the ecological gap perfectly.

[@PhillipW12]

Kiki is so amazingly down to earth - true star

[@DPF1963]

Kiki Dee is one of the UK’s greatest female artists. A total legend ❤

[@jeanetterobertson6744]

Dead right

[@russelljones8108]

Beautiful singer

[@tectoramia-sz1lu]

Still as gorgeous as ever.

[@Islandgirl2133]

Lovin’ and Free ~ One of the most beautiful songs ever imo. Love u Miss Kiki💙

[@barnsy8935]

Kiki played at my venue, a smaller venue than she is used to, and she was one of the loveliest musicians I've ever had the pleasure to work with. So accommodating, so humble and so very kind. Bless her beautiful bits XxX

[@stephfoxwell4620]

Is she related to Pippa Dee or Kiki from Hector's House.

[@arniewheeler4673]

wonderful interview, a wonderful woman. all the best Kiki

[@sheilabing9588]

Loved this interview. Two ladies we need to see and hear more from.

[@caelachyt]

The most profound thing when someone makes music is not about their own greatness, but is summed up in the "American Pie" lyric, "And maybe they'd be happy for a while". Being able to bring joy to others making sound is greatly rewarding. I think she gets that.

[@DianneClewes]

What a lovely interview by Angela. Listened to Kiki's answers to her questions. A lesson for all interviewers. Seen Kiki live a couple of times & she's a great performer.

[@lynnkurtts2219]

I was at Dodger Stadium. Loved seeing her there! I only wish I could see her live shows. But here in Alabama usa I'm afraid I won't ever get that opportunity. U am a Kiki fan since 1974. Rock on Kiki!

[@merchiron]

Can't believe Elton didn't invite Kiki Dee to join him on stage at Glastonbury. What a cheek. Instead we saw someone I've never heard of before dressed in a bikini that didn't come close to singing the song as good as Kiki. Very angry.

[@adambrocklehurst4211]

He's invited her on stage many times, he also invested a fortune in her career and produced one of her best albums.

[@PBG345]

I've though she was a lovely generous person for some time, and this interview proves it again. Completely grounded, I hope she has continued great success and enjoys every day doing what she likes.

[@chrismcdonagh688]

It should have been Kiki Dee with Elton at Glastonbury.

[@bernardcornwell6581]

Agree,I would have watched it if Kiki was there.

[@tonymurphy8774]

Saw Kiki a month ago at the Cropredy festival. She's still got that great voice, lovely woman.

[@truebluebears76]

Should be Dame Kiki Dee and in the hall of fame

[@betsyavallone4314]

She still looks fabulous after all these years. I saw her with Elton at Madison Squaw Garden in the 1970’s. It was one of my first concert experiences. I have very fond memories.❤

[@stephfoxwell4620]

Am Dill Dannin'🎵🎵

[@maggiemay6625]

omg kiki i love her she was and is brilliant one of the best soul voices this country has ever produced 🇬🇧

[@sbbinahee]

She looks fantastic!

[@stephfoxwell4620]

Pauline Matthews from Bradford is now 76.

[@haicharussell8024]

A delightful interview, lovely ladies. Kiki Dee, your Mom's gentle kindness is reflected through you as you share your songs, stories, and heart with us this day. 💝

[@user-cb7hr9sg4t]

Our best female vocalist. In my opinion.

[@geoffjoffy]

Hard to believe Angela Rippon is nearly 80. She looks so strong and much younger.

[@stephfoxwell4620]

Angela does 20 reps with 100kg every morning.

[@ohwiseowl9163]

Yeah shout out from Bradford 👍👍❤🇬🇧

[@nickpalmer3076]

Saw Kiki in Bristol perform last year she was brilliant.

[@mickandtraceycope7826]

Kiki should have sung at Glasto. What was Elton thinking? Love the Kiki and Carmello shows.💥🎶🎼🎵💥

[@jovandeijzen2004]

Brilliant Iconic star 100% . Belongs to the greats.

[@chatham43]

....Kiki looks great...😊

[@NoSweat69]

Is she the one who’s been warning us to not go breaking her heart for 47 years?

[@user-ye3nm3uy5h]

Saw her at The Plough Torrington last year. A true legend.

[@elmowatson541]

So much energy, Kiki. one of the 1976 performances from MSG of I've Got the Music in Me brought me to tears for the times that they were.

[@bernardcornwell6581]

Always followed her musical career ,even though sometimes there were large gaps between new records.

[@haicharussell8024]

Such an excellent interview with Kiki and Angela. Kiki Dee, your Mom's gentle kindness is revealed through you as you share your songs, life stories, and heart with us this day.💝

[@sandylaws8648]

Yeah! A well grounded Yorkshire lass.

[@geoffw8565]

Saw her with Elton at Hammersmith Odeon in late 70's

[@mariakoutromanos262]

I remember Kiki Dee well loved her I think you should wear them for fun again

[@mr.burnardo4030]

Estoy enamorado, tarde, de la Kiki. Tiene algo que no sé qué es pero me encanta, bastante.

[@SophiahKoikasWindyQueen]

sounds and looks great!

[@user-vv8qv9cl6h]

I Love KiKi's Voice. Inspired me at a young age, There's something about her voice, She can melt your heart, or rock with the best of them. Of course she's not the greatest of all time, Nobody Is, it's Art not a Competition.

[@sunryse111]

She says she was shy. I can vouch for that. I was once at a party in Beckside Road, Lidget Green, Bradford and Kiki (Pauline Matthews as she was then) was asked to sing for us. No amount of persuading would coax her to sing. Sop shy!

[@MrTerryb1956]

Kiki Dee I still love you , you look amazing- best wishes Terry xx

[@citizenseventies6738]

Very underrated is Kiki Dee (real name Pauline Matthews) She released eleven UK singles from 1964-1968 on the Fontana record label and even a single on Tamla Motown in 1970 - None of these singles did anything chart-wise. It wasn't until 1973 when she signed with Elton Johns Rocket record label and scored her first UK hit with Amoureuse which made No 13, then the following year she had a follow-up hit I've Got The Music In Me which made No 19 in 1974. In 1975, she scored a minor UK hit with an updated version of a single she originally released in 1964 called You Don't Know (How Glad I Am) which made UK No 33. In 1976, she would of course have her only UK No 1 duetting with Elton on Don't Go Breaking My Heart. In early 1977, she would have her last hit of the 70s with First Thing In The Morning reaching UK No 32. In 1981, she scored her first UK Top 20 in seven years (not counting the infamous Elton duet) with Star, making UK No 13 - A follow-up single Perfect Timing only reached a lowly No 66 the same year. It would then be another 12 years before she had another UK hit duetting once again with Elton and scoring a No 2 UK hit with a version of the Bing Crosby/Grace Kelly song True Love in 1993.

[@videohut4445]

Love her music.

[@joaoallein4480]

[@stephenhowell5611]

It still makes me wonder why she didn't have hits in the 60's, she released some really great singles. Stop And Think is just one. Also Elton Elton Elton 🙄
