Pauline Matthews (born 6 March 1947), better known by her stage name Kiki Dee, is an English singer born in Little Horton, Bradford, West Riding of Yorkshire. Known for her blue-eyed soul vocals, she was the first female singer from the UK to sign with Motown's Tamla Records.[1][2][3] Dee is best known for her 1974 hit "I've Got the Music in Me" and "Don't Go Breaking My Heart",[4] her 1976 duet with Elton John, which went to Number 1 both in the UK Singles Chart and the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. In 1993 she performed another duet with Elton John for his Duets album, a cover version of Cole Porter's "True Love",[4] which reached No. 2 in the UK. During her career, she has released 40 singles, three EPs and 12 albums. I've got the music in me is een single van de Kiki Dee Band. De b-kant was Simple melody. Het was de eerste hit van Kiki Dee in Nederland. Kiki Dee nam al singles op sinds 1963, maar kreeg pas echt succes toen ze overstapte naar het platenlabel Rocket Records van Elton John. Later had ze ook met Don't go breaking my heart een hit samen met hem. I've got the music in me is het eerste nummer op het album met dezelfde titel. Het nummer is geschreven door Bias Boshell, de toetsenist in de band. Boshell is de enige muzikant die zowel in Barclay James Harvest als in de Moody Blues heeft gespeeld. Diverse artiesten hebben een cover van het nummer opgenomen, waaronder Thelma Houston, Sheena Easton, Aretha Franklin en Céline Dion, echter zonder commercieel succes.
