From the days when Kiki did singles and used a full backing band a batch of beautifully crafted ballads and rousing upbeat tracks. A voice with sweet power and velvet softness.
Although The later albums have a more mature musical appeal this is a great record of it's kind.

Excellent selection including all Kiki's solo 70s hits plus other singles and album tracks.
What makes this CD essential though is the inclusion of three hard to find singles from the 60s 'Runnin Out Of Fools' 'Why Don't I Run Away from You' and 'Can't Take My Eyes Off You'
This is their only official CD release to date.

Although Kiki Dee (born Pauline Matthews) had several UK hits, she will primarily be remembered for her two duets with Elton John - Don't go breaking my heart (a number one UK hit in 1976) and True love (a number two UK hit in 1992), but True love is not included in this collection, which is limited to her seventies music. One of her biggest solo hits, Star, and one of her minor hits, Perfect timing, are also missing as they are from 1981.
As a solo singer, Kiki never made the UK top ten, though she came close with Amoureuse (her best-known solo track) and Loving and free. Kiki had another UK top twenty hit with I got the music in me, plus minor UK hits in the seventies with You don't know how glad I am, First thing in the morning and Chicago.
Kiki had spent ten years as a recording artist without success as a recording artist, establishing a reputation for great covers of R+B songs that resulted in her becoming the first white British artist to be signed to Motown, but the partnership was unsuccessful. However, she continued to cover R+B material after she left Motown, as this compilation shows via such songs as Ain't nothing like the real thing and Stay with me.
Kiki Dee is one of those artists that is more respected by the critics than the public, who (for whatever reason) never bought her music in sufficient quantities to make her a big star. A best of set containing all her hits up to True love was issued some years ago, but this is now out of print.
