Haven't heard this song for ages. Forgot how good it is.

Kiki Dee. Yet another of the excellent British performers who sadly dropped off the radar.

I had no idea she sang this. She seemed like the girl next door with Elton, now she’s jammin with some serious funk & soul. I LOVE IT

highly under-rated, she has a great voice

She was the first British Caucasian singer signed to Motown.

This was better than I ever expected I was expecting a disco dance song. Outstanding.

Haven't heard this in years. I never saw it live. What a performance that was. Kiki could sing. This is an awesome song.

Kiki 😃👍awesome voice. Of course remember her from 70's clips lol. I think she made an appearance on the love boat.🤣

Yes!!! Love it!!! She can saaaang! And cute as a button!!! lol

Kiki was once a backup singer for the immortal Dusty Springfield, someone else you should check out!

Kiki Dee Rocks! Her studio version to this song has some awesome female background. Love this live version, pure gifted blessed talent.

I will never understand why she was not a bigger star. She got it goin on. Perfect tone, intonation and pitch perfect. And just like you say, she got the looks and presence. The whole pacage. I only remember owning one of her albums and we loved it.

Kiki dee has always reminded me of my gorgeous momma, they looked and sounded identical in their hayday (though my mom isn't famous) so this, in a way, felt like you were reacting to my mom jamming lol (she is is currently in ICU recovering from aneurysm surgery so this was SO NEEDED FOR ME!!) Thank you Jamel ❤❤❤❤

Wow, never saw her do this, great performance!

She killed it. I was too young to appreciate the talent when this came out.

Check out kiki's song "Amoureuse" when it came out in the UK in the early 70's it was banned from being played on BBC radio stations,as it was termed " too explicit and risque" it was about a young girl getting " jiggy" for the first time 🥰🥰😂😂

I recently watched an interview clip from GBNews out of UK, Kiki Dee at age 76 has had a career spanning 60 years and lead a clean and simple life. She is very down to earth, super grounded and true to herself and didn't get involved with the drug scent all. What a fine lady and role model. "Truly a good human being."

Kiki Dee was a dynamo! I was 16 in 1974, and she she made me shake. I think she’s still around. How can you NOT fall in love with this rock n roll wildcat, yet, she never made it as big is Heart, Linda Ronstadt, Madonna, Mariah Carey, etc. I wonder if she was badly managed? No movies that I know of

Girl can sing. I was going to recommend this song.

It is a shame that she never broke through. She is a talent that the world missed. Her power and vocal range are unique, and should have taken her to the top, but , even back then there were unappreciative idiots.

I love Kiki Dee. Very underrated.

Your joy in these videos is amazing to behold 😍

I like this live version....but I do miss the background singers from the record version.

Dee has also appeared in musical theatre, notably in the lead role in Willy Russell's West End musical Blood Brothers,[4] in which she took on the role originally played by Barbara Dickson for the 1988 production and recording. She received an Olivier Award nomination in 1989 in the Best Actress in a Musical category.[3]

She did a duet with Elton John too. “Don’t Go Breakin’ My Heart.”

She's such an exciting singer! I haven't heard this song in years. It's so fun, and she makes it so fun.

The king of the reactionvids is back.

Sing it girl ,oh yeah

Her voice is BOSS. So glad I got to grow up listening to her.

I’ve heard this all of my life, but I didn’t realize it was Kiki Dee. I was very young.

This had been completely wiped from my memory - thanks fam for bringing it back out! Keeping Great Music Alive, indeed! ❤️❤️❤️

"Amoureuse" by Kiki Dee is brilliant. You will like this one.

I Saw this LIVE!!! At the Cumberland County Civic Center Portland Maine!!! ELECTRIFYING!!!! She Played the lead role in a British Musical called Blood Brothers and a couple other British Musicals!!!!

What an amazing soulful strong song!

She opened for Elton in 1974 and I was lucky enough to see that show. She was great.

Had an Aunt Kiki. Never heard that name on anyone else till I saw her with Elton John. Great performance!

Kiki was in a movie with Steve Marriott and the Small Faces in (I believe) 1965, so yes, she was also an actress and seasoned performer at a young age!

According to Wikipedia, she did some musical theatre.

I haven't got words effective enough to describe Kiki Dee. What presence as well as skill!

She rocked it up, man, and the band was hot; actually so was she.

Had to comment on this one! So glad you appreciate this song as much as I do. Especially as Kiki is from the city where I was born, Bradford - a medium-sized industrial city in the North of England. In fact, my dad knew her before she was famous. In his job, he used to visit the office where she worked. There are quite a few globally successful artists from the neighbouring city of Leeds and there's a ton of the them from Manchester, a short distance to the West, but Bradford doesn't have quite so many. Besides Kiki, there was the punk band, New Model Army, the country band, Smokie, and another of our best, Tasmin Archer, with Sleeping Satellite. Thanks for the review and reactions! 🙂👍

what an incredible performance. Dayum, she can sing. Thanks for reacting to this.

Pauline Matthews, better known by her stage name Kiki Dee, is an English singer born in Little Horton, Bradford, West Riding of Yorkshire. Known for her blue-eyed soul vocals, she was the first female singer from the UK to sign with Motown's Tamla Records. Dee is best known for her 1974 hit "I've Got the Music in Me" and "Don't Go Breaking My Heart", her 1976 duet with Elton John, which went to number 1 on both the UK Singles Chart and the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. In 1993, she performed another duet with John for his Duets album, a cover version of Cole Porter's "True Love", which reached number 2 in the UK. During her career, she has released 40 singles, three EPs and 12 albums.

"She done went to James Brown!"

Just a note: This song was written by the keyboard player you see in the band, Bias Boshell

It didn't go long enough but this song ends 4 or 5 times when played live. It's the coolest end of a song that I've heard

She has some great songs, like “Star” and “Amoreuse”.

Was always surprised we didn't hear more from her. An amazing singer

Heart does a great cover of this song.

She had a cameo in the 1966 movie Dateline Diamonds. The main band in the movie was The Small Faces.

During this time in her career she was signed to Motown records. Here is a snippet from Wikipedia: "Known for her blue-eyed soul vocals, she was the first female singer from the UK to sign with Motown's Tamla Records."

I stopped watching a Little River Band reaction to get in on this one!! I have a feeling how this is gonna work out!! 😀

I grew up with her music. She's a powerhouse of a singer. Just.... Yeah. YOU know what's up. This is the best version. Live, that is. The studio is GREAT but you can't SEE her get into it. CHEERS! Glad you enjoyed it

It is so cool to see someone respond positively to such a diverse range of music. Love your videos! And now I've GOT to explore Kiki's catalog. Fabulous!

Kiki has some pipes, that very much reminded me of Janis Joplin, I would have guessed that, if I were just listening to this track.

This was so great! Initially, I feel in love with your reactions because it is so amazing to watch someone else discover the great music I enjoy and grew up with. Now, I also get to be the one discovering great music WITH you - I’m not sure which one I love more!! 💖💖💖

How do I remember every word of this song when I haven’t heard it in decades? Thank you Jamal for bringing back good memories in these times of trouble. I got my Keep Great Music Alive t-shirt and it is awesome.

Wow wow wow.....I remember Kiki Dee from the old days and this song. Sooooo beyond cool to hear it live. Bill

I want to see this guy react to some of the Velvet Underground's music.

This was done on a show called the Beat Club..we have it on DVD..Like a small studio and a few people..taped in Germany...love her energy and voice..Sharon from N.C. USA

Kiki Dee deserved so much better than what she got. A victim of record industry pressure, she vanished into pop-obscurity after a duet with Elton John. She's a breast-cancer survivor, so there's at least that.

She is so talented. Fab singer and performer. Love her. Thanks Jamel 👏👏🎶

What a great song! Thanks for bringing

Oooooh, this takes me back. Sing it, Kiki!

I saw Kiki twice in the seventies she was brilliant live

Kiki Dee could sure belt a tune. I owned this single back in the day. I was about 12, and she blew my mind. So happy to see her being appreciated today.

Oooooweee, her voice will give ya chills all over. I haven't heard that song in years..

Have always loved her and this song. Just an FYI, Heart use to do this live...

Kiki Dee has an Amazing Voice👌❤

She was a stage actress and appeared in stage musicals around the U.K. including the West End of London

This is a get up and dance song from my youth about age 10. I went to a state wide dance convention and they did a workshop where they taught choreography to this. Girl, I was keeping up with the 20 year olds. Was acknowledged that I ‘got the music in me’. Alas, I got the music in me but my joints aint got it no mo’. Listening to this as I am in bed with a twisted knee and ankle. So, Jamel, get up and dance for me.

Kiki Dee only had 2 hits in the US: this and the Elton John duet. I also really like the song "You Need Help" which is a track from the "I Got the Music In Me" album of 1974.

Totally forgot about this excellent song and her great voice! Excellent message too!

Great reaction....Kiki really deserves it.

Wow ! Kiki is getting it!

Such a great reaction! Mine too. I love your passion, emotion for music Jamel.

What else can you say? Kiki Dee can sure nuff ROCK! Thanks for this Jamel!!

I've heard so many versions of this song I didn't know she sung this this song is great

With this song Kiki kicked A-s!👍🏻👍🏻❤️☮️

Wow! She's great live.

Wow is right! I only knew her from the duet with Elton John and thought she was a one hit, pop wonder but dayumm was that underestimating her talent! Thanks for uncovering another gem!

Saw her and Elton John at the Oakland Coliseum in 1974. I think it was $32 a ticket in the nose bleed seats. Sounds cheap now, but at $2 minimum wage, that was more than two days take home pay from work. Fantastic concert, Still remember it. Fantastic showman.

Great 70s single this one really works great voice love you

I've never heard this before! I'm only familiar with her duet with Elton. This is really good.

Loved this song. Soulful. Kiki Dee. You Go Girl.

what a great blast from the 70's - thanks for sharing that. Try Climax Blues Band Couldn't Get it Right - think you'll appreciate it

It has been a while since I have heard this song. The bass line really jumped out at me, and I had forgotten how good it is. It is a wonderful "feel-good" song. She did do some acting too, particularly in the UK.

Mackenzie Phillips (daughter of John Phillips of the Mamas and the Papas) sang this on an episode of One Day At A Time where she played the older daughter, Julie. She also did an awesome job on the song. Been a few decades since I've seen it, but it has stuck in my mind!

I was literally about to suggest Kiki Dee to you and I go on your channel and lo and behold... you already are on it!! Hahaha. One of my favorite female vocalists.

Love this song! Have you discovered Suzi Quatro yet?

So glad you found this, she is a brilliant singer,.

Great performance, did not know Roger Pope was the drummer for the Kiki Dee Band. Roger played drums for Elton John in his early years, up to the Madman Across The Water album. Nigel Olsson comes on board for the salad days of Elton, then he and orginal bassist Dee Murray were fired after the Captain Fantastic album. Who comes back on drums? Roger Pope. Jamel, glad you got to take this one in. Kiki gets pigeon holed into being that girl who does that syrupy sugar pop song Don't Go Breaking My Heart; but she had a great voice that could be the lead for a group.

i remember hearing this when it came out, but this is the 1st time i've ever seen her. great voice -

Yes! Kiki is awesome!! Yes that is live but,probably recorded of the sound board! Amazing!!

She was discovered by Motown in 1970 and recorded just one album,before returning to the UK,check out Between Monday and Sunday,and also How glad I am!

Love her voice!

It's live and she has a fantastic voice, but you should hear the studio version for full sound effect, and the great backup vocals, but she is great live and builds on the studio version. She had two other popular songs, not as popular as this, but they are great. One is 'First Thing in the Morning", and also "Chicago". Do the studio versions first.

The crowd was mic'd separately, and the volume on the soundboard was faded out, leaving just the band's inputs.

You're very intuitive Jamel. I can see what you mean. Love her voice too!
