Amoureuse - Kiki Dee

Kiki Dee was born as Pauline Matthews on March 6, 1947 in Little Horton, Bradford (UK). In the days before BBC Radio 1, Dee was a regular performer of cover versions on BBC Radio, and she starred with a group of session singers in the BBC Two singalong series One More Time.

Nevertheless, it was only after she signed with Elton John's Rocket Records that she became a household name in the UK. Her first hit was the song 'Amoureuse', written by Véronique Sanson with English lyrics by Gary Osborne. Released in November 1973, it peaked at number 13 in the UK singles chart.
