Track Description
Available in:
"Don't Go Breaking My Heart" is a duet by English musician Elton John and English singer Kiki Dee, released by The Rocket Record Company on June 25, 1976. The song was written by Elton John with Bernie Taupin under the pseudonyms "Ann Orson" and "Carte Blanche," respectively, and was intended as an affectionate pastiche of the Motown style, notably the various duets recorded by Marvin Gaye and singers such as Tammi Terrell and Kim Weston. Initially, John and Taupin intended to record the song with Dusty Springfield, but ultimately withdrew the offer.
The song became John's first No. 1 single in the UK and his sixth No. 1 in the US, topping the chart for six weeks in mid-1976. It also spent one week on the Easy Listening chart and was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America.
There are three uncredited backing vocalists on the hit single: Cindy (now Cidny) Bullens, Ken Gold, and Jon Joyce, the backing vocalists on Elton’s 1976 tour, recorded their background parts to Don’t Go Breaking My Heart in London, in May 1976 after Kiki’s vocal had been done. They can be heard, along with Elton and Kiki, on the “Woo-hoo”, “Nobody knows it”, “Don’t go breakin’ my…” and other backing parts.
The “Don't Go Breaking My Heart” video was shot all in one take with a three-camera setup by Mike Mansfield. During the instrumental section, Elton attempts to teach Kiki a version of the “hand jive”, a 1950s dance that would resurge in popularity with the release of the film Grease.
