My first introduction to Kiki Dee was I Got the Music in Me. As a kid, it didn't dawn on me that a lot of the artists coming out of my transistor radio had actually been around for years before I was born! Thank you and my parents's generation for the gift of great music!!!
The Small Faces were my favorite group in the 60's, i saw them a couple of times live. Steve Marriot was brilliant, one of my favourite lead singers from one of my two favourite groups, the other being Freddie Mercury from Queen. We are never going to hear anything like them again.
The blonde girl whose request is being played on the radio is Anna Carteret, who went on to play Kate Longton, the female Police Inspector in "Juliet Bravo" on the BBC in the 1980s.
Kiki singing in a Tiki bar - that's awesome! This was the the Small Faces with Jimmy Winston before he left and Ian McLagan joined. I will have to check out this movie sometime it looks Fab ;-)
Kiki Dee is one of the best singers of the sixties to the present. With her pitch perfect voice and delivery, she really deserved a hit long before 1973. Small Town is from her sixties album, I'm Kiki Dee which is well worth seeking out. I love Kiki Dee.
I remember how much I loved listening to many of the great female British singers from the early to mid-60s: Pet Clark, Marianne Faithfull, Cilla Black, Shirley Bassey, Lulu, Dusty Springfield and Mary Hopkin.
Geez...I just found out Ian Mclagan of the Small Faces just died. I usually am never affected by famous people's deaths. I view them as the same as everyone else. This time it got to me. I met him a couple of times and he seemed like such a good soul. His beautiful music created with the Small Faces (and solo work) has touched me deeply over the years. I hope he is reunited with his beloved wife Kim (who died tragically in a car crash not many years ago). I also hope he is enjoying a heavenly choir of his favorite Booker T and the MG's songs. Thank you Mr. Mclagan for all the soulful music...
Hi Joshua, I only just found this excerpt by accident,and did some research on the film,apparently it features the original line up of the Small Faces,which means it's Jimmy Langwith ( aka Jimmy Winston ) on keyboards,not Ian McLagan,although all you said about the latter still holds true of course,they were all brillliant and underrated musicians.I was lucky enough to see Steve Marriott with Humble Pie and Packet of three as well,now I'll have to see if I can watch the whole of 'Dateline Diamonds',which was filmed in my hometown of Watford!
*Joshua* .......Yeah....the latest "Heavenly News" reports Ian's enjoying for over 4 years now all the cloudy perks heaven has to offer...and has a whale of a time with his beloved Kim.......👼🏻👼🏻
no,i agree with you...film looks like vacuous twaddle,which is unfortunate as Small Faces was one of the great bands from the '60s.Steve Marriott was one of the best singers who ever lived.
These old videos of Marriot always remind me that he was a star his whole life. Some think of having 15 minutes. Marriot lived it his entire life. For good, bad, right or wrong.
Hell Yah ! She is brill. I first saw her when she was 28 , must have been before the start of the war WW2...she was belting them out then...She also sang the best version of the French song called Amerouse ( wrong spelling ) but check it out...She sang it for De Gaulle when Paris was liberated by Ernest Hemingway.....enjoy..
My favourite Kiki Dee track was from the1970s, 1976 I believe. "Loving and Free", it's absolutely beautiful. Have a listen: ruclips.net/video/ub_fruEg4Sw/видео.html
Kiki looks radiant in B & W. Small Faces look ... young! Great song by Kiki and great performance as alway. The cigar chomping guys at the bar looking at her remind me of Meyeresque quick cuts.
Kiki doing " Small Town " . Only in the 60's could you have the vocal with that huge orchestration and backing. This is Kiki in the 60's when she was making records for Fontana/Decca. A UK label really needs to do a CD of all her 60's recordings.
Massively underrated singer, her oeuvre needs to be reassessed, she did some pretty amazing stuff across several genres, blue eyed soul, folk, brit-pop, and disco. She did a great album produced by Elton John.
How can you say she is underrated? Everyone here rates her. Elton John rated her. Shes had goodness knows how many hits. She has a net worth of $10 million. If $10 million is underrated, thats what I want!
Wow! Kiki Dee doing SMALL TOWN. Kiki made some great records in the 60's. I've only heard of this film. And early Small Faces before Ian McLagan was even in the band. Thanks for posting! Great quality too.
Jeez has everyone gone deaf, dumb, & blind.......P. P. Arnold with the Small Faces "Tin Soldier" ..... not only the best voice but quite stunning lovely.... Sure hope its not racist cause I'm a 70 year old white guy.....
i wish i'd been around in the '60s,rather than being born at the end of the era :p what a fabulous time for music,fashion etc.....LOVE Small Faces and of course Humble Pie later on;Steve had one of the most monumentally great voices of all time,in my humble opinion :)...thanks for the upload;one doesn't often see things from the '60s!
Kiki was 18 here...just a kid. She also sang backup for Dusty along with Lesley Duncan and Madeline bell, and if you listen to their records you can often hear Dusty backing them.
I didn’t realize that Kiki Dee was such a popular singer before she did her duet with Elton John. She’s a fantastic singer too bad her career was so mismanaged she deserved more recognition for her music.
Kiki Dee was the first female artist signed to the Tamla-Motown record label in England in the mid-sixties. She had a pretty decent career at that time. Her mid-seventies releases on Elton's Rocket Records label featured some really nice soul as well as folk-rock ballads and love songs, some written by Elton and Bernie, and other great writers. They are definitely worth a listen, especially her album "Loving and Free" which is one of my favorites.
thanks. i didnt know about tamla. im from detroit and it passed me by, but in the mid sixties i was ten, yet still had a radio permanently implanted on my wrist. my biggest problem in life was obtaining batteries. thanks again
She was aslo a hot-shot backing singer. There was Dusty Springfield, Maddie Bell, Lesley Duncan and Kiki Dee and most hits of the time featuring girl choruses would ideally have had at least one of not two, three or even all four of those ladies in the background.
Kiki Dee was Pauline Matthews when I knew her, growing up in Lidget Green, Bradford. And isn't that Conrad Phillips, the actor who played William tell in the 50s ITV series for kids? Happy memories!
I was from Great Horton. I met her a couple of times around 1960 - 1962 at parties, both held in Lidget Green. Beckside Road to be exact. I always assumed she must live nearby. Maybe you're right about Little Horton. I remember she was asked to sing ... and she refused LOL!
sunryse111 I read that Eric Stewart's (10cc) wife Gloria is from same place as Kiki Dee aka Pauline Matthews. They attended school together and apparently Kiki fancied Eric as well.
I wish that the Turner Classic Movies Channel would show this movie. Now that I've seen a clip of it here, I'm interested in seeing it from beginning to end.
Aaah, those "Pirates of the Sound Waves..... If it wasn't for these "floating Radio Stations" us teens of the 60s would never have seen the breaking up of the hold that the BEEB (BBC) had on what should or should NOT have been heard ! They were also the first DJs to breach the 2 minute 30 second limit on "records" that wa stipulated by the BBC ! Thanks to those brave "Sound Seafarers", your memory lives on ! Also see the homage paid to them in that BRILLIANT Movie, "The Boat That Rocked" ! A Brilliant movie with a Great Soundtrack !
It's torment to hear Steve Marriott sing because I can't sing at all. What a voice! And I'd forgotten that song too and it's great. If only we could turn back the clock to 1965, we've all gone so wrong since then. Aren't those people so beautiful? I'm going to get a video cam to do some music and I'll put it on RUclips. Don't expect anything as good as this though - I just want to sing something about Theresa May and it will probably only take me ten minutes because I have the attention span of a gnat. So look out for Tru Riley's virtual band! And you lot can name it - I can take it. We've gone so wrong! Steve Marriott, RIP. Wonderful.
I'm very intrigued by the fragments of the plot that show up here...so there's something criminal going on, or espionage, and the Small Faces are on the edges of it. That's pretty odd. There's offshore pirate radio as well. AND Kiki Dee singing in a tiki bar, of all things.
The song I Got Mine was released too early or the movie was released too late but either way they weren't released at the same time so the song didn't chart well.
Steve Marriott the ultimate bad ass rocker dude. Saw him in clubs around Dallas with various later lineups of Humble Pie in the 80s. Always a great show.
Very much like Polly Brown of Pickettywitch; beautiful voice and drop dead gorgeous..you'll see what I mean if you google bluegutter's upload of ''Summertime Feeling''...she also should have been a major star. After PW, she went on to solo work and the duet Sweet Dreams and also performed two songs on the 1976 UK Song for Europe but sadly thereafter slipped off the radar.
TBH I had no idea that this early footage of Kiki Dee existed. She took off briefly in the '70s with I've Got the Music in Me and, with Elton John, Don't Go Breaking My Heart which was massive at the time. It does explain why she had so much depth, though, as she'd clearly been bubbling under for a decade or so before.
@@mickpowell2529 And Dusty Springfield. Her version of "I'm gonna run away from you" is as good as, if not better, than Tami Lynn's. And she was the first white woman to sign for Motown at the age of 19.
I never knew she had a career from the 60s nor that she was from bradford, I only remember her from 'I got the music in me' and her duet with Elton John. Great singer
Kiki Dee is the same age as Elton John.. In fact three weeks apart. So she is now over 60 and still looks and sounds fantastic.. Some women just age gracefully and she is one of them..
The Small Faces chords on the verse are already psychedelic. Those chords became a psych staple for loads of bands (Beatles, Hendrix, Who, etc.) by '67.
kiki fans are almost like a cult . we all adore her excessivly . and we all know she never got the masses to follow her the same way they have other less talented artists. nevertheless we realize she is an original and may have come way before her time or way after her time in the sense of all the great pop artists belong mainly to the past.
Kiki Dee was pretty much incapable of making a bad record. Her early work is stupendous, including this track (Small Town), as well as Early Night, Miracles and Don't Put Your Heart In His Hand.
Didn't realise Kiki Dee was doin' her thing around this time..I only knew of her for that Elton duet. Great song....I'm only just starting to get into The Small Faces... this makes for great viewing-thanks !!
@@jerryweber1768 "In My Minds Eye" is my favourite Small Faces song. I heard it recently having forgotten that it existed and then, in my mind's eye, I remembered it from when I first heard it in 1966. There was definitely some marijuana in there somewhere.
The film footage here is superb. Organic and WAY beyond much of the heavily manipulated crap of these days. You missed it kids. Those were THE times that started all this. Your music history is well received today. But it will never touch those original days of rock in the 60’s. Respect this stuff. It will make your music better.
Motown was by no means an R&B only label. From the mid through the late '60s (and into the '70s), they recorded not just Debbie Dean, Chris Clark and Kiki Dee, but also the Underdogs, Tony Martin, the Ones, the Messengers, Paul Petersen, Soupy Sales, Lesley Gore, Bobby Darin, the Pretty Things, Tom Clay, Love Sculpture and many others who made their mark in different genres.
Man, Ronnie Lane looks so young,and is a very underrated bassist, and a good backup singer. The last time I seen him was the ARMS concert at MSG N.Y. It was a Charity concert for him and MS
KIki had a slic MOD look at this period.. greater things we're just around the corner a trip to DETROIT to sign and record with MOTOWN RECORDS. What an acheivnent!! ..
I was a baby when these 1960s were new but listen to many 1960s music while growing up in the 1970s & 80s. They are timeless 💗🎙🎼🎸 Thank you 😍
My first introduction to Kiki Dee was I Got the Music in Me. As a kid, it didn't dawn on me that a lot of the artists coming out of my transistor radio had actually been around for years before I was born! Thank you and my parents's generation for the gift of great music!!!
Kiki Dee was brilliant! Can’t be very old when this was filmed?! Teenager, no more! Bradford West Yorkshire’s most talented daughters!
That was awesome ... I saw a humble pie in 1980 and Steve Marriott was amazing
You go Kiki, she is super, love the Small Faces....Jeez, they really could sing songs, and have a vocal range, not like today.
The Small Faces were my favorite group in the 60's, i saw them a couple of times live. Steve Marriot was brilliant, one of my favourite lead singers from one of my two favourite groups, the other being Freddie Mercury from Queen.

And the man was William Tell - Conrad Phillips :)
The worst time in my life was when my dad said, those Bealtes are quite good aren't they
She couldn’t be a WPC and an Inspector at the same time.
I love little snippets of information like this!!!! (Thank you)
This was a better time eh? I was 10 lol.
I was 9 years old ,but with two big sisters so I grew up with all of this and I loved the small faces
Marriot/ one of the greatest rock voices. Afterglow is probably my favourite 60’s track
Kiki singing in a Tiki bar - that's awesome! This was the the Small Faces with Jimmy Winston before he left and Ian McLagan joined. I will have to check out this movie sometime it looks Fab ;-)
It's called:- Dateline Diamonds from 1965

Small Town is also the flip-side to the single Why Don't I Run Away From You.
Awesome clip, thanks for posting
Dusty, Lulu and Kiki
Britain’s finest
Uks best female singers Elkie Brooks and Dusty.
Certainly don’t rate Lulu as one of Britain’s best!!
I bought her single "I Got the Music in Me"...in the 70's....Kiki Dee, the way I remember her!

I've been a Steve Marriot fan since I the early 70's. It's interesting how similar he and Eric Burdon were in style - both great, under rated singers.

I only like Top 10 number one hits.
@@jerryweber1768 "In My Minds Eye" is my favourite Small Faces song. I heard it recently having forgotten that it existed and then, in my mind's eye, I remembered it from when I first heard it in 1966. There was definitely some marijuana in there somewhere.
Steve is a top 5 vocalist of all time along with Burton Cummings, John Fogerty, Robert Plant, and Roger Daltry.
I agree- he was great in Humble Pie as well
And Paul Rodgers Free , Bad Company, The Firm, Queen
No McCartney?!!!!!
@@johnsain Get out of here!!! John Lennon was a far better vocalist than McCartney!!!
Bought the dvd sometime ago......of its time, any pirate radio enthusiast from before commercial radio will identify...
Fantastic find!!!
The film footage here is superb. Organic and WAY beyond much of the heavily manipulated crap of these days.
You missed it kids. Those were THE times that started all this. Your music history is well received today. But it will never touch those original days of rock in the 60’s.
Respect this stuff. It will make your music better.
Albertus font - always a favorite of mine. Be seeing you.
Life was beautiful before internet, google, mobile phone and youtube that I'm using it now.
6:26 Jimmy Winston, orig guitarist later replaced by Ian McLagan on keyboards. Very cool clip!
I believe she was the first white girl signed to Motown. Should've been huge. Great pipes
bojack40 Blue-Eyed Soul!
Motown was by no means an R&B only label. From the mid through the late '60s (and into the '70s), they recorded not just Debbie Dean, Chris Clark and Kiki Dee, but also the Underdogs, Tony Martin, the Ones, the Messengers, Paul Petersen, Soupy Sales, Lesley Gore, Bobby Darin, the Pretty Things, Tom Clay, Love Sculpture and many others who made their mark in different genres.
MikeBlitzMag and Rare Earth.
+Andy Mc Williams, Holy cow Bat Man, I had forgotten. Thanks for bringing me back. I was getting a little lost.
She aint done yet!!
Shame the sequence with the Chantelles onboard the Radio London ship was left out of this.
i think Kiki Dee in retrospect considering how talented she was and original would be ashamed that she ever did a duet with Elton John 10 years later
Hairrrr transplanttter
Yes pile of crap but made her money.
6:12 The Second guitarist are Jimmy Winston (first on left)?
Both performers would go to even greater success in the years ahead.
Marty was the Small Faces manager?? they never mentioned this is Randall & Hopkirk deceased!!
+ niceand sleazy ... You're obviously very young. I remember Kenneth Cope as Minnie Caldwell's lodger in Coronation Street.
Also 2nd guitarist other than jimmy mculloh during 78 there was never a 2nd guitarist
All the best bits from the film. :)
It's horrible. Eddie Haskill died yesterday, the guy who made Beaver's life miserable in " Leave it to Beaver."
とても良かったです。高評価登録プチしました(｡･ω･｡)ﾉ♡
Man, Ronnie Lane looks so young,and is a very underrated bassist, and a good backup singer. The last time I seen him was the ARMS concert at MSG N.Y. It was a Charity concert for him and MS
Such a standout concert. With Page, Beck, and Clapton together on-stage playing a few numbers. Footage exists. Look for it.
KIki had a slic MOD look at this period.. greater things we're just around the corner a trip to DETROIT to sign and record with MOTOWN RECORDS.
What an acheivnent!! ..
Don't go breakin' my heart, Kiki! Too late! What a sixties mod doll (in fifties bullet)!
Oh dear with the passage of time I think I've turned into Dad!
nekotojo3 , you have, we do!
