Good question! I had forgotten that Kiki & Nutter are listed as writers. Was he her husband???? David Nutter was a photographer with EJ. He did the Blue Moves album and the book of Elton's 1976 tour, the book called "It's a Little Bit Funny". I would love to know what role he (the photographer) and Kiki had in writing this song! Anyone have a clue?
I love both Cher and Elton. The lyrics are bitter but pretty much spot on regarding Cher's TV career at the time. It's a shame this wonderful song is stuck in limbo.
I've been looking for this song for 25 years!! It was played allthe time in Boston by Charles Laquedera. Just found it yesterday and my husband finally thinks I'm sane! Elton's songs have the most incredible i incredible imagery. I wonder who this song is about?
Thank you RonnieFriend for bringing back yet another hidden gem in the Elton John catalogue. Why oh why wasn't this song on the remastered edition of Blue Moves? There was plenty of room on that couple of very short CDs...
I too have been trying to find this song on CD or download with no luck. Finally I wrote to Elton's webmaster and asked about the song and why it was not available. They answered and said they didn't know the reason either!
Yes, this recording is from the original vinyl B-side of the 7-inch single "Don't Go Breaking My Heart". Converted to an mp3 file by playing it into the computer. Others have included it on "bootleg" compilations, but I'm pretty sure it's always just recordings from the original vinyl. I don't think it's ever been remastered and officially released on CD. Shame! It's a great song!
Look up kiki singing solo! She was so young and so popular in Europe. Check out Star... You won't be sorry! She is still beautiful. Elton is ever changing and is wonderful and Bernie was/is his wingman. Elton gave us all the wonderful gift of knowing about Kiki in the U.S....
thanks for this !!!! been tryna find this song for years !! brings back lots of great memories. A song found by accident !! pushing the wrong buttons on the juke-box !! was spose to b the flip-side

Yes, a lot of B-sides fron 1976-1986 haven't been issued on CD -- enough for a "Rare Masters, Vol. 2"! This is one of them.
Kiki and David Nutter (her husband) get composer credits on the single. Why?

Possibly, Elton didn't include it if he was sorry to Cher for recording it?
