• Elton John and Kiki Dee recorded this for the 1993 album Duets. It reunited Elton and Kiki, who had scored with a much loved hit, "Don't Go Breaking My Heart," back in 1976. Though 27 years had passed since then, they still clicked and the public loved it. While promoting the song, Kiki Dee revealed that she became infatuated with Elton John back in 1976, but that he didn't return the feelings for reasons that are more obvious today. Nevertheless, they became good friends. >>
