I totally forgot about this song until I heard it in the car tonight. I forgot this was Kiki. A lot gutsier than "Don't Go Breaking My Heart." She almost sounds like a black woman, which is a good thing. Pretty good song. Too bad she faded out of the mainstream.
@TheRandomZtuff Make the most of him by the way in your first year, he will teach you an awful lot - most of it totally inappropriate, but nevertheless!
@TheRandomZtuff He was my tutor last year. He is the coolest man alive. In that sense we have a lot in common, I am the coolest woman alive - but think that's a bass player thing!!! I am so proud to say he was my tutor.
@lordsophiebass It's not just a bass player thing. It's well known that bass players are the coolest people alive, anyone will tell you that. Well, anyone who plays bass of course, but then who else would you ask anyway??
Estimated friend, if you want to listen again this song and an endless number of successes of the love I suggest you to visit Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS - looks for his direction URL in Google ( search Musica para Mimos in Google)-. best romantic music of all the times in Internet, is great, is very good ...!!!
I reckon she's got more than the music in her, maybe a couple of marbles up her chuff? She's a Yorkshire lass and would be used to that. Great vocal performance, shame there's no song, and the band are bland.
37 years later, This song STILL KICKS ASS ! Missin this kind of talent these days. No Warbling, No Gaudy outfits. Just Talent. Pure and Simple Talent. Raw Energy. Thanks for the post!
Fell in love with this song and voice the first time I heard them. That she never made it big is just one of the MANY mysteries of the "music business."
@rennyshelton It could have had something to do with her making a play for the then top guy, a certain Mr J, when the said Mr J was trying to figure out what would happen to his ailing career if he came out as gay.
Doesn't do to shake the upper branches when you're still climbing the tree.
@rennyshelton She made it big enough at the time. Gotta remember, this was the dawning of Arena Rock era and Full scale Stadium fillers were the more popular of the genre. Not many ladies at the time were packing the aisles.And the competition between them was fierce.
ValeyofGalon: That must have been an AMAZING show! This woman can rock anyone current off the stage...Man, do I miss the days of soul music, no matter the color!
@wolffalice I just mean that everything is so processed sounding now. There are some ass kicking women out there, but they don't really get played all that much.
I always loved this song. If don't think it's got soul, don't get upset, you're already dead. You know it's tough to pull off 'cause haven't heard it duplicated. I know some people probably get upset over this, but a woman with a similar voice doing this with a heavier band would probably rule. Regardless, gotta love the 70's. Not even my style but gotta say, "That's the good stuff."
not too many gals like this around anymore! WHY? Guess all the good stuff is labeled 'alternative' these days.... anyways-cheers all- TY for posting this.
Saw her when she toured and opened for Elton John.. Had a camera with me and took so many pix of her band, I didn't have too many shots of Elton.. She and her band rocked...
WOW WOW WOW and... WOW! Kiki kickin' ass. And doin' it live! I saw Kiki live and onstage with this band at the Troubador in L.A. in 1974. She put it out there 100% without dressing like a slut or wearing meat. Now we're stuck with the likes of Lady Gag-me and her meat dress. Get off the stage Gaga. Kiki could open up a can -o whoop ass on you honey.
@valleyofgalon Yes, Yes, Yes...take me back to the days of Janis Joplin, Grace Slick, Kiki Dee, Aretha Franklin, Bonnie Bramlett...when women pop singers were true talents rather than generic cookie cutouts!
@valleyofgalon Thank you for your comment. I have been singing since the early 70s and used to perform this song with my band. In the 80s and beyond, following Madonna, it just seemed like singers always had to look like hookers or pole dancers to be noticed. Today, it seems the young girls all sound alike, and the outrageous egomaniacs, like Lady Gaga, who are making a spectacle of themselves....it detracts from the real talent. How refreshing to see this video and hear Kiki Dee again.
Hell YES! She most certainly would open a can o' WhooooooP ASS on that skank!
This is a real singer right here, not some posing fraud of a female. These "Artists" of today are woefully shameful in their attempts at making meaningful songs. Give it up you pathetic posers.
Ah, the music of the seventies when you got to hear real songs played by real muscians on real instruments. Today's music has no real talent, it's really sad what it's come to.
Yes nobodye seems to realize they came from various obscure but excellent underground bands, like Liverpool Scene, Spirit of John Morgan, Juici Lucy or Trees. And was Trees' Bias Boshell who wrote this song!
@rd03gian Oh yes, and why why why did she never really make it? Astounding voice. She was the only white person ever to be signed for Tamla Motown. You rock Kiki!
Artists from this era knew how to rock out in front of a live audience. They had the skills and talent to back it up. Nowadays, many of today's stars can't do live performances without something to "enhance" their vocals......
As Elton John said, people should not have to pay loads of money to hear someone performing to a backtrack in concert....
Note to todays up and coming artists: If you want a career that means something and have credibility, learn to master the art of performing live!
thordoggie, that is a strange remark. I meant 70's not 60's. By the way you should check out Ronstadt's live performance of her song "You're No Good" also from 1974. Like Dee she too also plays with a tambourine!
After watching this again, there was probably only one female singer from the 70's that could take a performance, like what Dee does here, of a song and control the audience like a driving wheel: And that would be Linda Ronstadt.
Was this the first disco song? Or did Gloria Gaynor do it with "Never Can Say Goodbye" that year? Speaking of it, if someone puts out a list of 25 songs that defied 1974, this would make it (and so would ABBA with "Waterloo"). Look at those boots Dee is wearing-it's a cross between what Sandie Shaw wore on "Top of the Pops" in 1969 and what the just-mentioned ABBA was wearing at this point in '74.
holy cow. I cannot believe that I went to the bathroom, this tune popped in my head out of the blue, then to actually see it!!! I also loved it, and love the comments also.
@GTownSlim Caleb is still amazing! I've had the honor of performing with him and quite frankly he's as great of a person as he is a musician - the perfect band mate as he rips it but never steps on anyone else, making us all sound better as a result. Like all the greats, he doesn't even work up a sweat but his presence and music do all the "talking." Am so glad that he's recording and touring again.
@mrgb46 Roger's living in England, his touring days are over. Kenny's teaching and producing music based in Arizona (I think). Ray's toured with Clapton for quite some time and has shown up in many all-star bands as well. James is an award-winning movie soundtrack composer/conductor. Caleb has a new band called "the Faculty" and he's recorded a couple of albums/toured with them the past few years, playing jazz/fusion. Davey's still with Elton. That was a great band. Wish they recorded more.
@mrgb46 You are most welcome! Didn't know that but am not surprised as nobody makes a tambourine sing like Ray and he was such an integral part of Elton's sound for many years. Do you by any chance know who's playing keys with Elton now since Guy passed away? Best wishes.
this woman sure does have one helluva powerful voice...
for all the good stuff shes done over the years, its a wonder how she hasnt been more successful or been given more recognition in the uk

thordoggie, that is a strange remark. I meant 70's not 60's. By the way you should check out Ronstadt's live performance of her song "You're No Good" also from 1974. Like Dee she too also plays with a tambourine!

After watching this again, there was probably only one female singer from the 70's that could take a performance, like what Dee does here, of a song and control the audience like a driving wheel: And that would be Linda Ronstadt.

@EricandDish linda couldn't do this as well as kiki...now Janis Joplin most certainly could! god, could you imagine janis and kiki together?
oh...listen to linda perry from the band "four non-blondes" she's 99.9% of janis reincarnated!

Was this the first disco song? Or did Gloria Gaynor do it with "Never Can Say Goodbye" that year? Speaking of it, if someone puts out a list of 25 songs that defied 1974, this would make it (and so would ABBA with "Waterloo"). Look at those boots Dee is wearing-it's a cross between what Sandie Shaw wore on "Top of the Pops" in 1969 and what the just-mentioned ABBA was wearing at this point in '74.

@mrgb46 I saw Caleb Quaye live in San Pedro, CA a couple weeks ago. His guitar sounds as good as it ever has!!

@GTownSlim Caleb is still amazing! I've had the honor of performing with him and quite frankly he's as great of a person as he is a musician - the perfect band mate as he rips it but never steps on anyone else, making us all sound better as a result. Like all the greats, he doesn't even work up a sweat but his presence and music do all the "talking." Am so glad that he's recording and touring again.

@mrgb46 Roger's living in England, his touring days are over. Kenny's teaching and producing music based in Arizona (I think). Ray's toured with Clapton for quite some time and has shown up in many all-star bands as well. James is an award-winning movie soundtrack composer/conductor. Caleb has a new band called "the Faculty" and he's recorded a couple of albums/toured with them the past few years, playing jazz/fusion. Davey's still with Elton. That was a great band. Wish they recorded more.

@intrepidsinger Thanks for letting me know..Also,Ray did a tour with EJ overseas this year,I think..

@mrgb46 You are most welcome! Didn't know that but am not surprised as nobody makes a tambourine sing like Ray and he was such an integral part of Elton's sound for many years. Do you by any chance know who's playing keys with Elton now since Guy passed away? Best wishes.

@intrepidsinger I don't know who's playing keyboards with EJ's new band..It might say on EJ's website..elton john dot com..
