Saw her and Carmelo Luggeri in Lyme Regis last Saturday. She sang all her 70s hits and i told her I'd waited 50 years to hear her sing Amoureuse, she seemed very touched. Lovely lady and still as beautiful as in this clip at 77 now! And still a great voice too!!❤
Such a criminally underrated singer. Completely overlooked in the 60's as was Elkie Brooks when they should have been up there with Dusty, Sandie, Cilla, Lulu and Petula
Kiki worked a lot with Dusty as a backing singer, Dusty would often sing backing vocals for Kiki, Lesley Duncan and Madeline Bell when they made records.
Beautiful singer & beautiful voice. Her music was playing in my mum and dad’s home when I grew up. Better than any katy perry or bioncy or how ever her name is spealt
Been discovering her early material and enjoyed so much of it. I run a quiz night in a tiny Lancashire pub and I've trained the audience to always consider 'Kiki' as a possible answer in the music round. Our favourite 'Bradford Chantreuse' as I call her. Such a beautiful voice. Been a fan since the 70s.
Saw this greatly underrated singer in Alexander's, Chester, some years ago. As the venue only holds around 200 it was very 'up close & personal' One of my unforgettable evenings A true lady of song..
I'm not sure if it was a management issue or what, but she was and is the complete deal. If a singer came along now with this talent they'd be on top of the world. Had a huge crush on her in the early 70's. Like a lot of female singers seemed to be more interested in singing ballads like this than "power" numbers, which she could really belt out.
Beautiful song. Such a difference between how Males and females view their first experience. Males tend to "high-five" and see it as a right of passage but this beautifully crafted song describes a woman having an amazing and deeply moving experience that transforms her to woman hood. Such a beautiful song and sung with surgical clarity...
stumeister, this is how I've always felt about this subject. I was 14 and got the meaning and, more importantly, the feeling of how this should go. When l did have it happen this was the song in my head all the next day. She's my Pisces Singstress crush. I love her song with EJ.
Wonderful voice. Until now I only remembered one song you sang. A duet with Elton John. How careless of me. This is a beautiful song. A beautiful looking lady as well.
Beautiful voice and artist! « Just another day » is an adaptation of « Amoureuse », wrote in French and composed by France’s super star Véronique Sanson, who started her career with this beautiful song in early 70´s. It seems that, from this wonderful performance, Miss Dee sang it in the 70’s too. ❤
Marti Caine did reign too. Glad that God remember we're dust. Treasures in jars of clay. You must be Bjorn Again! You cannot be Sirius. Still handing tickets out for God. It's no Sacrifice.
I was watching a film on The Monkees a few weeks ago, and it said that one of their singles didn't have any of the group actually singing on it, one of the actual singers was Kiki Dee. Can't remember which song it was
To be fair there have been many that have been `criminally undervalued´, sometimes uncredited backing singers, Kiki was one of Dusty's backing singers in the 60s, but she has at least gained recognition and some fame. Kiki has gone on record stating that she stopped chasing stardom many years ago. Star was written by another great female singer whom fame has largely avoided, Doreen Chanter.
Kiki did great but the lyrics let her down. The song as translated is a soft porn shadow of the original. Actually very good thanks to Kiki, but just not great thanks to the translator. The original is claustrophophobic; the protaganist is trapped in a moment. The other planet is a dream. I'm pleased that Kiki got the significance of the "but" at 2:52.
