Bradford's finest Kiki Dee remembers the decade that made her, and how her life changed after the success of that iconic duet 'Don't Go Breaking My Heart' with Elton John.

Kiki was the first female singer from the UK to sign with Motown's Tamla Records, releasing her first single with them in 1970. However, it was only after she signed with Elton John's label named The Rocket Record Company that she became a household name in the UK. Her first major solo hits were "Amoureuse" (1973) and "I've Got the Music in Me" (1974), but her biggest hit came in 1976 when she replaced an ailing Dusty Springfield on the recording of Elton's duet "Don't Go Breaking My Heart". The single reached No. 1 in both the UK and US, remaining at the top for six weeks in the UK.

Also on the show, Johnnie adds a new single to the Jukebox and hears all the stories from this week in music from the 70s.
