[@bentattersfield7987]

God! What a talent!

[@gordonmcpherson1103]

One Of Kiki s Best Songs Sings The Lyrics Beautiful Wonderful Voice ❤

Written by Doreen Chanter of The Chanter Sisters.

One of the most talented British artists of that era, now virtually unknown as regards the general media coverage of the 70s and early 80s, but she was really remarkable.

[@kennyluciano4913]

Amazing talent, fabulous live.

[@kalmanizer]

This song is AMAZING. I NEVER heard of her until I watched her and Elton John's youtube video "Don't go breaking my heart." I just had to see what else Kiki Dee sings and I'm NOT disappointed. :)

[@blackpanther1966]

she was underrated :-) she's a great singer with an awesome voice !!!

[@davidtrumper4122]

This song sounds as thrilling to me now as it did all those years ago. Kiki is a icon. What superb talent. Thanks Kiki x

[@TheLogic1010]

What an excellent song this and very well sung.

[@reezdeez689]

OMG This is the only live performance of Star i've found, and she's amazing ! Even better than I was expecting. Excellent find and upload, thank you !

[@antoniofrauches7016]

Sir Elton John and Kiki Dee are the best˙s! They`re beautiful!

[@elizabethgalligan1805]

[@ffrederickskitty214]

Remember her supporting Queen at Hyde Park 1976. Great singer.

[@paulburton9386]

Memories of Bob Says Opportunity Knocks on Saturday nights!

[@Thebusysuperhuman]

Great U.K. artist !

[@fozonkiller6008]

Good looking Lady with a clear voice....wooow

[@ElisaG.-fx4ir]

Kiki Dee ❤❤❤

[@euronick61]

Excellent song..it's a strange thing in the UK charts Kiki's biggest solo hits...Amoureuse, Loving and Free and Star all got to number 13

[@MsFanmail]

a very talented lady

[@Foxy-qx4pd]

She could sing, without autotune, which is more than many singers now can claim

[@keithskillen8360]

Top song ever ever

[@pinz2022]

@kalmanizer I remember from hearing her on British Forces Broadcasting back in the day when we were stationed in Germany. I dug up her 1981 album in 1990. There were some other truly great songs on it. Including another, even more beautiful duet with Elton ("Loving you is sweeter that ever") I swear, you'd think that ol' Reg was straight when you hear him singing with her...

[@TheJohn201044]

I still have a crush on her.❤️

[@busty6984]

Underrated as a singer

[@pinz2022]

BUSTY69 I remember being blown away by this number. I was sixteen in 1980. The family was stationed in West (Cold War and all that) Germany. I had missed her first duet with Elton John in '75. I was listening to BFBS-UK at the time (they had the best music) "Perfect Timing" was also a hit. But it never made it to America. I found the album in a used record store in 1989. Man! Her second duet with Elton was even better. This should have been her breakout! But I guess the record execs had already decided that she was too old at age 34 to bet on.

@@pinz2022 I was born in 1980.

[@fematya]

Love at first viewing!

[@miczuu92]

Dzięki Soulpete!

[@thompsonrobuk]

[@Blonde4Beach]

She is the best!

[@catgirlKL]

what a great song

[@oferko0176]

nice live performance Kiki

[@winnertakesall1980bo]

i remember this being on bob monkhouse opertunity knocks. Great song and under ratted artist

[@simonw4340]

I think that would be a really tough song to do live, but Kiki is awesome here

[@tommybrown9034]

Love this

[@MrDanielvass]

The Debenhams ad brought me here

[@muhammadalieesaa3379]

Opportunity Knocks brought me here, yes I saw the Debenhams advert on the TV as well.

[@mizzionare]

Strong reminiscence of "Video Killed the Radio Star" by Buggles. (Or, should I say the other way around?) No wonder "Video ..." appears in the list to the right. I prefer this because it rocks!

[@MrBlueSky474]

+mizzionare You are so right mizzionare VERY strong resemblance to Video killed the Radio Star! I wonder where Mr Horn got his inspiration from!

[@Eleventhearlofmars]

The buggles hit was before this.

[@katstheway]

this was when she was a guest on the one off showaddywaddy show :)

[@brendashaw8429]

her name is Pauline Matthews from Bradford, West Yorkshire

[@martinwilliamrandall]

Thanking you

[@duncanbremner5071]

Yeah opportunity knocks, used to watch it with my Dad

[@rich975]

@sirtinycreep She did mime when performing 'Star' on TOTP. The performance is here on KZbin.

[@ajs41]

Early 1981 I think.

[@spinout3]

@Littlealan1959 im not sure but i think the show was "bob says opportunity knocks"

[@021purple]

o the memories !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Dormentian]

This was from a show that Showaddywaddy used to do.

[@Maguirearch]

Shes been around nearly as long as lulu...and Elkie Brooks...check out a balck and white film of her in a film with teh small faces in 1965

[@horavali]

that too, but also a great singer

[@pinz2022]

@kalmanizer Don't forget she was a 35 year-old grizzled veteran by this time. to see her as an innocent girl punch up "small town" from "Dateline Diamonds". Reading the lyrics, she must have had some experience with real-life gangsters like those in the movie.

[@sirtinycreep]

@rich975 She sang Amoureuse live on TOTP. And it was perfect.

[@sirtinycreep]

I've never seen Kiki miming.

[@Littlealan1959]

think this was the theme music to NEW FACES talent tv show

[@converse91970]

@spinout3 You are correct, definitely not New Faces!

[@Jayke1981]

Yes, it was @spinout3... but as both shows were really big in the 80s on BBC and ITV, its an easy mistake to make!

[@SteveMullington]

Mark Radcliffe looking hip!

[@willnotallow1]

If you like Kiki, try Judy Tzuke,Stay with me til dawn.

[@m06een00]

Kiki is sheer class, and should have been a much bigger 'star' if she had been better managed and more picky over the material she was given. Every bit as talented and soulful as today's Adele but a lot better looking. Here's what she can really do with one of her own songs. watch?v=5fRSsxCAjn8

[@rich975]

@sirtinycreep Apart from on Top of The Pops.

[@MidlandNinja]

early 1981 i think

[@christophereyre4074]

Oh Keek - yours is the story of so much wasted talent and mis-management: when you were first taken under the wing of John Reid and Rocket, it really looked as if you would make it big, but then John R buggered you around by nicking your band's drummer for Elton's band and Bias went a bit do- lally and was sent off to the States and suddenly what should have been your emergence as a major star was blown - listening to your fab voice and your cute, catchy songs still makes me wonder what might have been.

[@michaeljfiorito]

[@alanmcinnes4932]

the first white artist on motown .with I got the music in me.

[@christophereyre4074]

No, the song was issued first on Rocket Records

[@dreasbn]

yep pure talent all over if only she had recorded better songs... there is not too much that got and gets me going... what a pity. But this one's perfect. Still got the 7".

[@EricIrl]

Try "I've Got the Music in me" or "Amareuse" next.

[@antonoats9861]

I bet you don't kiki dee's real name martin randall?

[@evpman]

I do

[@roy1310531]
