Took the words out of mouth. I'm 55. I've never seen this video before tonight. Never knew what she looked like. Why I never heard about her after this song. But, yes. In 3 minutes she goes from nervous to shy to cute to warming up to stealing Elton's shine. He sees it early. To keep her down he almost breaks her neck at: 00.47. "Slow your roll, gir.". But very cute till the end.

@Drenwickification

@Meh Bernie writes all of the lyrics and elton writes all of the music. They never swap roles at all... bernie sends sheets of lyrics to elton and he turns them into songs. It's a weird process they use, elton says they've never sat next to each other and wrote a song ever, he always just gets sheets of lyrics.

But yeah Bernie deserves a huge amount of credit for his wonderful lyrics (and elton talkd about him a lot and makes sure he gets credit), but it's elton who writes all the music.

Elton was at his piano at 8pm and with a short break, he finished at 11:35pm. F en awesome !

@Grisbane

Elton was light rock at best. As for biggest, that was and is a highly contested claim. He was also one of the most hated artists at the time as well. Especially since Fleetwood Mac was getting huge around this time, and Pink Floyd as well as Led Zeppelin were still very much household names (although this was about the time Zeppelin started to wane). Not to mention this was the beginning of the rise of Metal era, and Black Sabbath was pretty massive at the time. Oh, then there was also another band.. named Queen.

So sure.. Elton was the biggest Light Rock performer... but biggest overall.. like I said, highly, highly contested claim.

Always though Kiki was a vastly underrated vocalist. Her voice is beautiful and she was able to elevate an ordinary song into something special.

@hughcorston9645

Hi Dave. I saw Kiki in the musical, Blood Bothers by Willie Russell many years ago in London. She was terrific. Not only did she have to act, but she had a couple of the most tear-jerking solos I've ever heard (in context). A real trouper in fine voice and such fun to watch play.

@daveroffe9607

Hello Hugh and thanks for the reply. Didn't realise that Kiki also acted but I'm not really surprised as talent has many outlets.

@baddfingerz

Even without Kiki this would have been no ordinary song to me. The vocals are great of course but I am a musician and always appreciate the music and the the song in it's entirety.

A historical note here... Elton originally wrote this song as a duet to be sung with his idol & good friend Dusty Springfield, whose career was in a steep decline in the USA. Unfortunately Dusty was in pretty rough shape at this particular time (alcohol & drug abuse), and so the song went to Kiki Dee. So sad. This was a huge hit and would have reinvigorated Dusty's career.

Well they made a great choice with Kiki Dee, not only she can sing but she beautiful as well.
