This is so awesome, she seems tense and uneasy in the beginning and Elton draws her in to loosen her up. She's all in midway through the song and looks and sounds awesome!!!
The whole thing is a gimmick. Believe me, she never had to loosen up. Check out this performance 2 years prior: th-cam.com/video/SLQRW7J_D0U/w-d-xo.html
Gimmick or not, no matter here. I would not know my own name if he were that close to me; much less be able to carry a tune...or make words. So much respect for this man.
I never really knew much about here and never listened to her until this video. I remember when the song was popular thought and her voice was so alive.
I love this so much! Kiki looked so nervous at first and then Elton just started acting like a sweet little goof and made her feel more comfortable, like he pulled her out of her comfort zone. So precious!
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. Ditto reply to goback3spaces
I thought it was just me. It almost looked like he pulled her into the room and it looked like she was saying something to him as he pulled her along. It also kinda looked like he was being a little bit of a goof ball to make her more comfortable.
The chemistry between these two is beautiful to watch

I It's so uncomfortable to watch, he's placing her here and here and here and she's playing the helpless female, it's just awful. Incredible song tho. I love it !
@@cenezethit looks like she was nervous, but Elton was a true gentleman who put her at ease by the end. Not sure if that was just an act or if the thing was real but brilliant either way.
This duet is still as epic if not more, than it was when it came out.. I loved this song in the day and I love it just as much today than ever. Pure timeless gold !!!
Kiki's emotional reserve in this performance gets me every time. Elton was a much bigger star and she almost appears to be in awe of him. It's charming the way she warms up to this song as she sings it. This cannot have been acted: it was her natural emotion.

She was signed to Elton's label. He took her on his tours and promoted her endlessly. Face it, the most talented people sometimes just don't resonate with the audience,.
I thought Elton looked so dashing in this video with Kiki and them dancing is so adorable lol it was one of my favorite parts in the Rocketman film the actor was just like Elton!!!!
Anche il mio! Anche noi, durante i viaggi...avevamo 2 cassette audio di Elton John e tra le canzoni c'era anche questa e io e mio fratello la cantavamo😆🤣
This is the greatest male female duet of light orchestrated pop to have ever happened in my opinion. To spite what ever else I may think about it. It touches me deeply.
This song is magic for me. It takes me to my 16 when living was exciting and beautiful and every day was something unexpecting and life was worthy to be lived
@@Magimasterkarp doubt it 💀💀 we're going to remember it and look back on it but certainly not as a "timeless classic"... were going to remember it as something silly we enjoyed for the funnies LOL
@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. This is a cool video to watch btw... it shows elton with the original lyrucs bernie gave him for 'tiny dancer' and he explains how he wrote the music for it: th-cam.com/video/B0W6jCOggWQ/w-d-xo.html
Bernie Taupin wrote these lyrics but it’s one of the few songs he hates. Elton and Bernie’s musical partnership is on the same level of importance as Paul McCartney and John Lennon.
Agreed, it was the BiCentennial. I turned 10 on July 8th of that year. It was a bittersweet year, my parents separated and divorced then, but music like this and the BiCentennial helped me enjoy things and turn off the depression for a while.
I was 11 in 76. My dad had bought a brand new 4 wheel drive tractor. Spent alot of hours listening to music like this on AM radio...he still has it. We use it occationaly
It's true that music is music, age has only a fraction of sense into it tho. I'm 21 too. My playlist consists of 10 metal songs, ABBA, Elton John, 5 country songs, Japanese indie pop, Vocaloid, Free Bird, Ed Sheeran, One Direction, Japanese pop, Orchestral movie soundtracks, Broadway Musicals. Every era introduces different music genres into the spotlight. I'm terribly chaotic. Don't be confused if Inkya Impulse comes right after Free Bird in my car followed by I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues
It's almost like the young people who hated rock and roll of the time, and instead were into big band and classical. It's interesting how generationally, there are still people who always plead they are different but are the same.
The fact that this was accomplished in only one take is amazing. Not unheard of, but usually only with performers who have worked together before. Two pros at their best.
I think it was taken in two takes because at the time his bf walked into the studio after leaving Elton in London for bisiness purposes. So Elton stopped the first take to talk to his old bf.
not too hard, the audio isnt whats being recorded on that microphone. No way it'll pick up those voices coming at two different angles and distances. i doubt this is one take as well.
me too! I was just telling my son...my daughter just saw him at Madison Square Garden on Friday night....funny....can't compare his singing from 1976 to now
This song and Abba's Dancing Queen sums up my childhood during the heatwave summer of 1976; going to the park every day on my chopper, keeping cool with jublies and ice poles, staying out until it got dark with my brother; queueing with mum at the standpipe for water. Lifelong great memories. I could listen to both songs everyday for the rest of my life
Kiki Dee was drop-dead gorgeous, like many of the female performers in the late 70's and early 80's. No recourse to CGI or unnecessary plastic surgeries. Just naturally beautiful. Elton didn't look bad either. 😊 👍👏
Women was way more beautiful back than no BBL or bloated lip surgery just natural beauties the good old days will be missed kiki was beautiful especially the blondes with blue eyes was astonishing as well
Just a perfect song. Whenever I hear it I can't help but feel amazing!!!! One of those songs that reminds me of a little pre-school aged version of myself riding around in the car with my Mom as she ran errands. Just pure bliss!
This was supposed to be a duet between Elton and Dusty Springfield but Dusty was sick at that time so they picked this cute lovely woman to take her place and I am so glad to have had a chance to meet her. Kiki Dee is so pretty and talented with lots of music rhythm. She should have been a super star! Just like Elton!
Brilliance, sheer amazing and wonderfully collaborated talent, Elton and Kiki woohoo. I can listen to this over and over and over. It's always a treat. Greatest song!
Suddenly the rhythm of these great song by Sir Elton John and Kiki Dee hit my memory even though it's almost 50 years.Luckily I still remember every single lyrics of these superb song.Thank God.I'm very proud of it... meaning my brain is still in good order...lol. 😅
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.
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.
This song was around when I was 19 yrs. Boy, how things have changed. Reminder: At this time, Elton was the biggest rock star in the world. Saw him, live, in Portland OR in 1976. There was NO opening act. Elton was at his piano at 8pm and with a short break, he finished at 11:35pm. F en awesome !
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.
I danced this song in 1976 in Bavaria. This song still makes me crazy, it gives me big joy, hope, happiness. Always, even after 48 years ! Ready to dance again and never tired to listen to it for the 9th time again 😅😅😅. Never.
Still a great song and duet. Listening to this I'm reminded of what truly great vocalists, rock singers and performers these two were. I tend to think of Elton John as more of a flamboyant pianist and showman, who was lucky enough to work with the best writers and producers, but he really has some great pipes on him. Kiki Dee's glossy red, helmet bob and overalls, so 70s!
When I was 18 in the 1990s I used to work evening shift in the local supermarket and the manager who must have been a massive Elton fan used to play this full blast to motivate us while we mopped the floors before closing at 10pm. One Christmas all the lads had to wear Santa hats during the shift. Whenever I hear this song it immediately reminds me of mopping the supermarket floor in a Santa hat.
I officially turned into a geezer this year ( yep...55) . I was 9 years old the year this song came out. I can't begin to explain the giant smile on my face everytime I hear this song. It evokes memories of a sun soaked south Florida... riding my motocross style bike with a banana seat...and this blasting from the transistor radio strapped to my handle bars. Ahhh...my youth.
From one 55 yr old geezer to another - love this song. Man it takes me back to my north Texas roots and that same banana seat bike every time I hear it.
What a life Elton John has led. One of the great, timeless talents with an ability to write and play music that is unique and happy and sad and meaningful and every other emotion. And from what I can tell he’s lived his life on his own terms. Kudos, Sir Elton.
I almost forgot the days when young Elton was oozing with charisma and charm! This has to be one of the best decades for pop music and Elton in particular.
I am 51 today, but this song came out when I was 7 years old. We lived in Holbrook, AZ by the railroad tracks. But today, I am enjoying some good old simple memories to get away from the Pandemic. Bless the World. God is watching. Love and Peace my brothers and sisters.

I remember when I went to the pinball joint in the 70s and for a long time when this tune came out it was played every time I was there at some point. Great song. Brings back memories.
Cudos to Elton for making Kikki comfortable with hugs and smiles all while singing live. Amazing performance.
Quem é ela? Kikki ?
Lip sync slipped. Not live.
@@AnotherPointOfView944 I don’t think it was pretending to be live. The song is the studio version and the video we’re watching was shot to promote the song. Rarely are they one of the same or could be due to quality consistency.
Kudos.
Lol, it's mimed, Elton makes a heap of mistakes with his miming
Why are they so adorable, she looks shy at the beggining and he's trying so hard to make her comfortable ;_;
She's pretending to be shy. It's the premise of the bit.
He was so enthused and full of enjoyment, I really noticed that
Hes a simp.
Just kidding this song is amazing and greatings from austria🇦🇹
@@thebrazilianatlantis165 no she's not
Maybe she feels intimidated by a man who's in a hurry to finish the song so he can knobgobble his boyfriend.
This is so awesome, she seems tense and uneasy in the beginning and Elton draws her in to loosen her up. She's all in midway through the song and looks and sounds awesome!!!

@@marinabenedetti6060 ❤
And Elton is the star. ; )
I couldn't disagree more.
I like how Elton comes in all excited and Kiki is like ‘-‘ but then she gets excited too
This Is Way better Than Backstreet Boys.
That was stage fright at it best!
Exactly. She has a slow start, but then catches on!
I thought it was just me.
It almost looked like he pulled her into the room and it looked like she was saying something to him as he pulled her along.
It also kinda looked like he was being a little bit of a goof ball to make her more comfortable.
Just remember: by 1976 EJ was a well-known seasoned professional and Kiki was a rookie. Yeah, she was a little nervous.
One of my all-time favorite duets. They both did an exceptional job.
Right 💗🙌🏽🙏🏽

This is one of the most uplifting feel-good songs out there. It's needed now more than ever.

With all due respect to both of them, how would that chemistry work knowing more than we need to about Elton's preferences?
Good actors.
They look like they had a lot of fun making this. I've heard this song a million times, but this video is a treat.
everyone was having fun, except for kiki

Not sure if that was just an act or if the thing was real but brilliant either way.
when there's talent it's not necessary a video with a big budget just two gifted artists singing in front of a camera it's enough to create art!
Agree 😁👍
*Lip-syncing in front of a camera
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 🙌
She is so nervous and Elton does everything to make her feel like a star. Love it.
Think they are just acting, nobody is in front oh them apart of the man who is recording
She was underplaying it on purpose. By the early 70's she was a stone-cold pro, at it for more than a decade. th-cam.com/video/OLUXTbaYGjU/w-d-xo.html
Acting baby
"She is so nervous" It's a bit for fun. Often music videos have a premise.
She does look nervous but I would be too if I were singing with one of my favourite artists! :D
This is a timeless classic. I guarantee if I live to see 20 years beyond this post, people will still be listening to this and loving it

Kiki started her music career in 1964.
Just a perfect song. Whenever I hear it I can't help but feel amazing!!!! One of those songs that reminds me of a little pre-school aged version of myself riding around in the car with my Mom as she ran errands. Just pure bliss!
Always thought this was a good, fun tune, then saw this performance of them together and its a wow. Kiki Dee is insanely good!
This was supposed to be a duet between Elton and Dusty Springfield but Dusty was sick at that time so they picked this cute lovely woman to take her place and I am so glad to have had a chance to meet her. Kiki Dee is so pretty and talented with lots of music rhythm. She should have been a super star! Just like Elton!
She did she was part zoo a girl band later on I’m sure maybe not as famous
Aww! They looked so cute together.
Brilliance, sheer amazing and wonderfully collaborated talent, Elton and Kiki woohoo. I can listen to this over and over and over. It's always a treat. Greatest song!
4 minutes 17 seconds of pure joy and 70s bliss 😄
yes👌👌😊
👍👍👍
Well Said
Their voices complement each other so well. Truly a unique performance.
Suddenly the rhythm of these great song by Sir Elton John and Kiki Dee hit my memory even though it's almost 50 years.Luckily I still remember every single lyrics of these superb song.Thank God.I'm very proud of it... meaning my brain is still in good order...lol. 😅
OH EM GAWD SAME!!! it hit me out the blue and i was singing it to my witto grandbaby 🥰
Always though Kiki was a vastly underrated vocalist. Her voice is beautiful and she was able to elevate an ordinary song into something special.
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.
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.
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.
This was the first 45 record my mom ever bought me. I'd wake up and play it every morning as I got ready for school.
Hell yeah!
I'm 52 and listen to Tiny Dancer every morning putting my makeup on :)
This song was around when I was 19 yrs. Boy, how things have changed.
Reminder: At this time, Elton was the biggest rock star in the world.
Saw him, live, in Portland OR in 1976. There was NO opening act.
Elton was at his piano at 8pm and with a short break, he finished at 11:35pm. F en awesome !
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.
@@Grisbane total sales is what I meant heavy metal rock was not selling as much There wasn't a lot of devil worshipers back then
Aaahhh yes! I would love to go back to 1976. I was 9 and yes, times have definitely changed. Everything was just, better.
@@Grisbane Insert ackchyually gif
@@michellerene951 I was 9 years old in 1976 too.
I danced this song in 1976 in Bavaria. This song still makes me crazy, it gives me big joy, hope, happiness. Always, even after 48 years ! Ready to dance again and never tired to listen to it for the 9th time again 😅😅😅. Never.
Still a great song and duet. Listening to this I'm reminded of what truly great vocalists, rock singers and performers these two were. I tend to think of Elton John as more of a flamboyant pianist and showman, who was lucky enough to work with the best writers and producers, but he really has some great pipes on him. Kiki Dee's glossy red, helmet bob and overalls, so 70s!
Nicely put. The best writers and producers could have worked with anyone, they chose him for good reason!
Mushroom hairstyle
Two voices in harmony making wonderful music together. Such a great song
I love how Elton is dancing and miming while Kiki is just hanging out chilling
This song always reminds me of the summer heatwave 1976 , I was 10 years old, camping in Weymouth. Brilliant times with fantastic tunes.
When I was 18 in the 1990s I used to work evening shift in the local supermarket and the manager who must have been a massive Elton fan used to play this full blast to motivate us while we mopped the floors before closing at 10pm. One Christmas all the lads had to wear Santa hats during the shift. Whenever I hear this song it immediately reminds me of mopping the supermarket floor in a Santa hat.
Haha 😂 cool. Good memories I guess.
How lovely.❤️🙏
Me encanta tu comentario!
@@miriamfatimayoreismael316 Gracias 😉
At least it wasn't a Keebler Elf getup lolz ... Satan errrr Santa love it!
I officially turned into a geezer this year ( yep...55) . I was 9 years old the year this song came out. I can't begin to explain the giant smile on my face everytime I hear this song. It evokes memories of a sun soaked south Florida... riding my motocross style bike with a banana seat...and this blasting from the transistor radio strapped to my handle bars. Ahhh...my youth.
From one 55 yr old geezer to another - love this song. Man it takes me back to my north Texas roots and that same banana seat bike every time I hear it.
I’m 59 and even more of a geezer! I love this song.
Come on now ! Your not a geezer at 55, I’m 69 and Do not consider myself old, age is just a number.
I'm 55 . I don't care 🙂
Same. I am also 55. Love this song. They complement each other.
The innocent goofiness is so charming. I miss these days.
Don't worry! There will always be innocent and simpleton idiots!
Mike B me to
When this song was new I listened to it on a little AM transistor radio I carried with me at the time.
This song is in the movie chicken little
Joe Duke Lol god stop whining.
I love this 🎵 🎶, I love how Elton John makes Kiki Dee feel comfortable in the studio with him. He's truly an amazing person and has a sweet soul.🎉🎉
What a life Elton John has led. One of the great, timeless talents with an ability to write and play music that is unique and happy and sad and meaningful and every other emotion. And from what I can tell he’s lived his life on his own terms. Kudos, Sir Elton.
Highly overrated p00f.
Elton looks better with weight and hair
Kiki Dee was so totally underrated... great voice!!!
beautiful smile of
She was not underrated. She was very rated
She was never underrated in our house. We've just ordered her new album
@@Fatima502 Agree. Very rated.
The 70's will crush any period in American history for music!
70’a and 80’s
50s, 60s, 80s, early 90s.
These two are English.
PERIODTTT
I love 70s music but 50s and 60s are better
I almost forgot the days when young Elton was oozing with charisma and charm! This has to be one of the best decades for pop music and Elton in particular.
I am 51 today, but this song came out when I was 7 years old. We lived in Holbrook, AZ by the railroad tracks. But today, I am enjoying some good old simple memories to get away from the Pandemic. Bless the World. God is watching. Love and Peace my brothers and sisters.
Awesome 🎵

Happy birthday

Glad he's got David and his two boys he deserves to be loved
It really warms my heart that he’s so happy now with his family

I’m just happy David has all the olive oil and paddling pools he needs.
That could describe a male female relationship too.

Gees I wish it was 1976. Those were good days. Music was so cool.
@bibsann861, yes it was, I was turning 18 that year of 76, I have this single, & few more of Elton John, he was a great singer with a great voice
I was 9 years old in 1976 when this song was released. The 1970s my childhood years, I miss the 1970s.
@@alicehenderson7983 I'm too 18. Every pop song from Elton or others still alive
❤Yes 1976 👍💯
I was 14, turned 15 in October, one of the best years I had🎉
Great Elton John & Bernie Taupin song & fabulous Kiki Dee singing along with Elton. Love it!
i'ts amazing how they sing PERFECT without even show difficulties
It was the 70s Baby,,
They’re lip-syncing, and take your mask off bro.
It's called being a good listener and not being atonal ^-^
@@guthrie1181 okay karen
LOL Kiki Dee looks like a school teacher and Elton John looks like a scientist in this video
The English and Science teacher on the days off.

@@Skksksksmsmgntkskzkfkrkrk Yeah LOL
Really 😃😄
@@Skksksksmsmgntkskzkfkrkrk 😁😁😁
one of the sweetest music videos I've ever seen
I was 8 years old when I first heard this song…I’m 51 and it still makes me smile
60's, 70's and 80's will stay for me the best musics ever
Golden Boy too true
Cant just say 3 centuries, pick one 😜
Yes yes! And 50's
OMG! Everyone likes the new songs, I'm only 12 and 60s, 70s, and 80s are all I listen to!
Amen!! same here.
I remember when I went to the pinball joint in the 70s and for a long time when this tune came out it was played every time I was there at some point. Great song. Brings back memories.
Playing on Bally’s Pinball Wizard, maybe ?
I liked that machine a lot and the KISS band machine. They also had Captain Fantastic which was an Elton John machine.
Happy Birthday Sir Elton John!❤
I had cancer and this put a smile on my face
