This was a light hearted duet between two good friends. It was unbelievably popular because it's so pop-y
And about 5 years before Grease
@@terrybeaton2000 Wikipedia claims Bernie used a pseudonym? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_Go_Breaking_My_Heart
@@terrybeaton2000 ahahaha! Yes Bernie was the bomb. Elton was not one of my favourite singers but I adored several of his songs (lyrics by BT of course)
Just what Jacci wrote. Except I had no trouble believing it's popularity. Very 1981...new wave, soon to evolve into synth-pop.
The sitcom One Day At a Time, did a whole episode around this song, as Barbara and Julie did an impersonation for a talent show.
You will both love Elton & George Michael "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me". Their voices are so perfect together.
Yes!! I've been hoping for that one!
I thought it was "Don't Let Your Son Go Down On Me."
@@LiberalsArePoop It is a song of many meanings to many different people of many different sexual preferences. That's true diversity!
@@trhansen3244 I suppose. I was just revisiting a classic 80's joke. Fuck political correctness.
@@LiberalsArePoop Oh great, now I will never be able to unhear this! 😭😩
Instantly transported to the baking hot Summer of ‘76 here in the UK! 🔥
THIS song should not be underestimated . . . it was a MAJOR HIT when it was released. It flooded the radio airwaves and everyone Absolutely LOVE IT !!!
It was everywhere! when it wasn't on the radio were listening to our 45
As everyone is saying, you absolutely could not get away from this song for like a solid year. it crossed over many formats....rock stations played it, but also Top 40 and pop stations played it as well and even some easy listening stations gave it air time as well. I still like the song, but at the time I was glad when it finally faded.
This period you're talking about was my earliest memories and they were some happy times.
Im A 70s Brat This is pure happiness lol
1975 or 1976, I remember it well and your right 👍🏴
This was played everywhere back in the mid 70's. Takes me back to my childhood.
Yeah, this song and PHILADELPHIA FREEDOM with Kiki Dee and Elton were huge hits in 1976 - US Bicentennial Year.
Philidelphia Freedom was in 1975, before Captain Fantastic was released
This is Elton at his most frothy and poppy. It's bubblegum, but it's so smile-inducing, you can't help but love it.
Kiki Dee was the first artist Elton John signed when he started his own record label. She was a street/club singer. He heard her and was so impressed with her talent, he signed her. This song was him lending his name to her in order to launch her career. Very generous move on his part.
It was the first #1 UK single for both. Very nice indeed!
Actually her career started several years before Elton's. She cut her first single in 1963. There's a clip on youtube of her in a British film with the Small Faces in 1965. He did sign her to his label, but it was her third label by that point I think. She was actually the first white British artist signed to Motown records, but she struggled to make hits. Elton was definitely a boost for her.
No no no. Kiki Dee was a hardworking pop-soul veteran, starting in 1963 with the Fontana label and then in 1970 was the first white British singer signed to Motown. A great, powerful example: "Why Don't I Run Away From You?" ruclips.net/video/Ipz5m7L4YgQ/видео.html
@@knuteboy3778 fair enough with the correction. For some reason I remembered her having early years as an a cappella and club singer. Thanks for weighing in.
Kiki Dee released her first album before Elton John did.
I was 8-years-old when this song came out, and I remember it being one of my favorite songs as an elementary school kid. 🙂 It's a terrific little piece of A.M. radio pop ear candy.
I was 11 and it was one of the few pop type songs I liked.
Same! We must've been born the same year lol
I was 10, loved it then and still do to this day.
Same for me I was 8 always liked it especially at the roller rink
Exactly. It IS ear candy.
This is one of those "feel good" songs - you can't help but sing along, get a little groove on, and smile.
To many of us old school Elton fans this song was perceived as merely a trifle. But over the years it has grown on me and Kiki can really sing. I’m now a fan.
I loved this pop-py diversion. Sounded really good on a nice sound system in a car.
It’s an easy fun song. It actually the first one of his I remember hearing on the radio in the 70s, as my parents listened to AM soft rock/pop at the time.
It reminds me of that Maxine Nightingale song that was on the Slapshot movie soundtrack. “Where we started from” was the chorus but I can’t remember the song name.
"Too" many...
@@MarkCucchiara Can’t tell whether you’re making a genuine critique or offering a witty wordplay. But I was using shorthand for “it seemed to many of us …” not that there were an excessive number of us. If the first no worries easy to misread what I wrote. If the second well done.
I think as one ages, one becomes more discerning. You wind up actually listening to the words instead of merely reacting to beat. Then you pick all the nuances of the words and the pronunciation of the words.
But, yes, that girl can sing.
Interesting aspect about duets: who is the better singer? The dominant voice or the undertone, the backing vocal? I think the backing vocal because they are lifting the other higher.
Who remembers very young Valerie Bertinelli disguised as Elton John singing this with her TV family on One Day at a Time? Oh. Just me?
Some people dismiss this as just a pop trifle but it is a great song. As has been said this was one of the Top Songs of 1976. I was in 8th grade and this is the first song that I connected with Elton John. It will always be a great song.
One of my all time favorites from Elton John.
Jay & Amber, you'll love Elton's "Philadelphia Freedom", "Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding", and "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me"!!!!
As far as " Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me" if they did they version that was a duet with George Michael or the original studio version would be good
Levon
Philadelphia Freedom has a similar cadence to this song (Don't Go Breakin' . . . ).
The Border Song is one if his underrated songs. Aretha Franklin did it too. Powerful song.
This song was literally EVERYWHERE for an entire summer. Just a fun little ditty.
Love Kiki Dee. "Music in Me" is one of her best known. She was on Elton's label early on.
@RBR , She was married to Davey Johnstone for a time....
We're going from Moore/Norman to see Elton John in Nashville this Sunday (Oct 2).
After more than 45 years I still know every word of this song. It was a MAJOR HIT I was freshman in HS we loved it. On the radio all the time!
I love reliving my life with you two 💜💜💜💜💜💜
It IS fun.
Unforgettable song ! Summer of 1976. Thanks Kiki Dee & Elton John🎵🎵
you guys are the best. I have listened to many people react to songs movies and all. You lovely people care about the music the films and us so bless you.
Summer of 76. Wish it could come back!
My favorite thing about this song is the string section. The violins and the cello make this song for me. :)
This is arguably the most 70's song ever created. (#1 in 1976)
If you want one song to represent the decade, this works really well.
Happy, "groovy" melody, lyrics about love and light, this was before disco, but leads you where the culture is heading, a good blend of the band feel of the early 70's transitioning to the dance feel of Disco
When this song came out (1976) there was no MTV, but thank God that there was Don Kirshner's Rock Concert, for which music videos like this were created. I used to watch Burt Sugarman's Midnight Special, until Saturday Night Live actually pushed Burt's show to midnight (it used to come on at 10:30). These two shows gave rock fans a chance to see rock stars (I couldn't afford rock concerts until I was an adult).
Yes Rock Concert thank you
This was the biggest hit of 1976! 💕My generation 😊
Mine too! Just put a big smile on my face! 😃
It was actually #2 of 1976, because "Silly Love Songs" edged it out. I seem to remember Elton/Kiki being more popular, or so it seemed.
I turned19
@@BillGraper yes, I checked after I made my claim . Silly love songs went 5 wks, 4 wks Elton. One can make the argument for Tonight's the night Rod Stewart but it came out late in the year and went into 1977
I was a sophomore. Love it!
They just mesh so well. Thanks for the smiles.
A staple on 70s AM radio. How was Kiki not bigger or more popular? The Woman can sing.
Olivia Newton-John, and Helen Reddy were more popular. Dee was a session singer.
She only had one solo Top 40 hit but it was a sizzler "I've Got The Music In Me" from 1975.
5:54 No, this was not from Grease. This song was recorded around '75 or '76, and Grease came out in '78.
Kiki dee sang her own songs. “ I’ve got the music in me”. Incredible!!!!!
Gotta love the orchestral disco of the 70s!!
Elton’s “Funeral For A Friend/ Love Lies Bleeding”. Maybe the name throws you off. I promise it’s the Elton song you’ve been waiting for!
I love this song!
Pauline Matthews (born 6 March 1947), better known by her stage name Kiki Dee, is an English singer. 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 1973 hit "Amoureuse", 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. Her 1981 single "Star" became the theme song for the talent show Opportunity Knocks when it was revived by the BBC in 1987. 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.
I've heard that originally Elton wanted Dusty Springfield to sing this song with him but the mid-70s were a dark period for Dusty and she just wasn't able to do it. She did do a lot of background vocals on Elton's albums under the pseudonym, Gladys Bangs, however during this time. Kiki sang backup for Dusty in the 60s as well. I loved this song as a kid!
Elton loved Dusty's voice. In many interviews he mentions his love for her.
@@konniestaabmiller472 He sure did. What a voice it was.
The Summer of 76 we sang this at the top of our voices while walking across a park as we heard it on a radio, It was a very happy time and memory .
Oh lawd I remember seeing this on tv as a kid for the first time. This was early 70's pop music. Good stuff!
This song was from the summer of 76. I was 7, don't go breaking my heart and afternoon delight were always on the radio. Great memories.
This song was HUGE in 1976 everyone seemed to love it, topped the charts for weeks in the hottest UK summer in history ❤
Oh my gosh! I LOVEEE this song!❤❤❤❤❤
One of the most memorable songs from my early childhood. I was 4 years old when this hit #1 in the summer of 1976, and I remember how huge it was. It ended up #2 for the year.
This song came out 2 years before Grease, so no it wasn't in Grease.
Wow, I don't think most people remember anything from 4 years old. I can't remember anything aside from falling off my tricycle and splitting my head open.
@@ckobo84 I remember things from when I was 1 year old. I actually remember a ton of stuff from my childhood, and dates as well. 🙂
I was 5..and I remember being I diapers..
I remember being 2½ With this Paul McCartney's "That's What The Man Said", and Fleetwood Mac's Rhiannon on heavy radio rotation. What an introduction to the world.
A karaoke staple song!!! Love the song!!
They both did this at live aid 1985 and you really see Kiki Dee jumping around having a great time. Even if u don’t react to it. It’s worth the watch!!
Another duet from this era was Suzi Quatro with Chris Norman (from Smokey). Song is called "Stumblin' In"
A massive hit in the summer of 76, and just a total feel good song.
Big hit back in the summer of 1976, when I was young and still in high school.
Omg! Finally. I've been waiting for this. Oh, I do hope you like it. 👍
One of Elton’s many songs that I love! Singing with KiKi in that upbeat tempo was so cute! He always kept us guessing what was next!
Back in the day, this was on the radio practically every hour.
Not in Grease or a musical! Check out Kiki Dee's amazing solo song "I've Got The Music In Me"! Her voice is a lot more gravelly and raspy there
It came out when I was 2 years old. For a time you couldn't turn on a radio without hearing it. It reminds me of what 70s pop was. 1976
This was a BIG hit on AM radio in the 70s
They played this one a lot
Not in Grease (or any other musical)
They’re both still great friends and it’s such a happy and feel good song!
IMO….there is room at the table for all types of music. ❤❤
Kiki Dee was a serious rock vocalist. This was a bit of fun for her, and she was fully appreciated by Elton John. It was a massive hit in 1976, 2 years before Grease
Yay!! So glad you got to this one. It’s just FUN!! 😁
Love this song!❤and the glasses!!😂 Elton produces Ed Sheerman
This song came out a few years before the movie Grease. The hand jive existed before Grease was ever made. It's from the 50s.
This track was released at the end of June during the incredible summer of 1976, and it was no.1 in the UK for 6 weeks, and then knocked off the top spot by ABBA's dancing queen, which was no.1 for 5 weeks. It was also no.1 in the US at the same time.
The week before ABBA took over the top spot, the UK top10 in mid August looked like this:
1 - Elton John & Kiki Dee - Don't go breaking my heart
2 - Wings - Let 'em in
3 - Dr Hook - A little bit more
4 - David Dundas - Jeans on
5 - ABBA - Dancing queen
6 - Johnny Wakelin - In Zaire
7 - Billy Jo Spears - What I've got in mind
8 - Bee Gees (with brother Andy Gibb) - You should be dancing
9 - Tavares - Heaven must be missing an angel
10 - 5000 Volts - Dr Kiss Kiss
Miss Kiki Dee was a another English songwriter at the time and she wrote some good tunes they teamed up to bring you this song.
This is a great tune...nice to see Elton doin a duet...nice!
I saw him in Toronto in 1982 and we were so happy that Kiki showed up on stage and they did this song together.
Elton was trying to give Brittney the courage to step back in the spotlight and show her she can still perform, that she still has it! He's done this with several other artists and says anyone can call him for help that is struggling and he will help with there careers. He's a wonderful person, I'm on his email list for announcing everything he does so I get to see videos most of the public doesn't. He really will help, wether it be career, drugs or alcohol treatment, he's very generous to those in need!
This was Elton John's first No 1 in the UK charts.
This was Elton’s first U.K. number one single. Kiki Dee was signed to his record label and they were (and are still) great friends
I love this song because it reminds me of being a kid
Don't Go Breaking My Heart by Elton John & Kiki Dee it charted on the Billboard charts on July 4, 1976 and it went all the way to number 1 and was there for 4 weeks.
One of my favorite songs
Kiki Dee always had an incredible voice! But now it's time for you to react to Funeral For A Friend/Loves Lies Bleeding by Elton John.
She's still got a great voice!
for me, one of those memorable childhood songs...always sounds good...timeless
Love this song, brings back great memories!
Long before Grease, it was the first real pop duet that was huge.
Only later in my life do I realize that Elton John's voice is really unique. I always knew it was good. But now I listen to the words of every song and just the way it sounds could only be done by him. He does deserve the adulation
You knew this song would be number 1
Great tune, brings back so many memories of the lady I loved in my 20's, it was our song. Unfortunately she took her own life a few years after we broke up, we were still friends and it almost killed me. Miss her a lot even to this day, 40 years later. 😪 RIP Donna!
I love this one too! It was always on the radio one summer when we were at the beach all the time. 😁
This song was released as a single during early to mid 70s.
I was a little kid but remember it well
I remember it being released less than a week after my 11th birthday. So I think either 20th or 21st June 1976
@@martinscott-reed5379 I was 4 maybe 5 yrs old then. Schools made me start a year later than others born in 1970 because I am a December baby
Always loved this song …reminds me of my childhood.
Now this is a song from my childhood. The strings in the background with the other rock instruments make this song unique. Another pop-y song from around this time is Captain and Tennille "Love Will Keep Us Together", a huge slice of 70's pop.
Omgosh this song was played so so much when it came out , It beings back memories from high school .
One of my favorite 70’s AM Radio songs. Always makes me feel good and it never gets old. You may think this is just another song but it was a smash hit!!! It is on the soundtrack of my childhood.
This was actually Elton John's first UK # 1 hit for six weeks beginning July 24th 1976 and it was his sixth US # 1 hit for four weeks beginning August 7th 1976. This remains Kiki Dee's only US and UK chart topper to date.
an iconic mid 70S duet between two close friends that became a legendary hit it's been almost five decades since it got released and still you can hear the song played from time to time
Yall picked another killer tune. Thanks again
This was a great duet. Elton and Kiki were so perfect together. Just a great tune, so catchy with a great chance of becoming an ear worm. This received a lot of airplay. Next Elton song should be "Benny and the Jets". Great reaction. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️❤️ 🇨🇦 🇨🇦
B-B-Benny! good call!
They've already done it: ruclips.net/video/wXe-XXjX--U/видео.html
Pretty sure they already reacted to Benny and the Jets! 😊
This song was really huge when it came out play it all the time😊
Haven't listened to this in years! Elton John started thrilling me in the sixties. Still listen to him quite often . This came out in 1975 or 1976. For a rocker by Elton listen to Saturday nights alright for fighting. From 1973's Goodbye Yellow Brick Road album.
They reacted to that song already.
Thank you. I just joined up very recently.
@@jeffreyflint6286 you're quite welcome. Enjoy the ride!
The way Kiki Dee looks in this reminds me of Kathleen Wilhoite who sings in Road House. Hair, casual dress.
Good catch, I agree and Wilhoite herself is a good singer/songwriter in her own right.
Always an Elton John fan and Kiki was just a doll. This was a great combo in the day and still holds up.
Love the shades J, Elton would be proud...Hope ur feeling some better Ms Amber...Love, love this song, Thanx for the memories and fun, Peace
I was a new mom when this came out and my hubby and I loved this song and sang it to each other. It was so cute! It's not from Grease. But it was a time when there were lots of duets of famous singers collaborating together.
Never got the "Grease" connection before. Great you guys got that connection as it's perfect. This is a classic. A happy day song
Love it.
This was Elton's first UK No.1 single; his next was 'Sacrifice' in '89.
Great song!
loved this song in 1976 britain was having a heatwave , we went to rhyl wales for a holiday we were kids, heard it everywhere just sick of it by the end of the week lol but a great song so many good memories.
Great reaction. Y’all don’t have to feel bad. I think the hand jive was an older dance move. It just happened to be in Grease and this music video. Keep on being yourselves cause that’s why I watch and love y’all. ❤️
Another absolutely delightful 70's song...what a decade!
Now for another great duo, react to Aretha Franklin and George Michaels "I knew you were waiting". It's a classic! RIP both of them...So glad we have this song to remember them by.
"Was This In 'Grease'?"
No, but a cover of this, Sung by Anne Hathaway was in the movie "Ella Enchanted"
This song was so huge when it came out. They're just so cute together. Now go for the rock with The Bitch is Back, or the poignant with Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me or Somebody Saved My Life Tonight.
Oh, and GO BENGALS!
Taking this in context it was essentially Elton and Kiki messing around and just having a bit of fun. It just so happened the song turned into a HUGE hit for them.
