Elton John - Don't Go Breaking My Heart (with Kiki Dee)

Don't Go Breaking My Heart (Elton John & Kiki Dee) was a June 1976 non-album single – later appearing on Elton John’s Greatest Hits Volume II and subsequent compilations. The single, produced by Gus Dudgeon and recorded during the Blue Moves sessions in Toronto, became Elton’s first appearance at the top of the UK Singles chart and was his sixth #1 single in the US. It was #2 on the Billboard Year-End Hot 100 singles chart for 1976.
The video was shot in one take, using a three-camera setup, on an unused London soundstage by director Mike Mansfield, who was on loan from a music television special being taped in the same studio. During the song’s instrumental section, Elton attempts to teach Kiki a version of the “hand jive”, a 1950s dance that would find a resurgence of popularity with the release of the film Grease in 1978.
