About This Album
Perfect Timing is an album of great substance by Kiki Dee, surrounding herself with more top-notch players and very strong material. Elton John duets on the Stevie Wonder/Ivy Hunter gem, and of course it's good, but other songs are the standouts here: Chris Bradford's "Wild Eyes"; Dee's co-write with Eric Kaz, "There's a Need"; pianist Bias Boshell's "You Are My Hope in This World"; and the beautiful title track, "Perfect Timing." Let's face it, Dee got more breaks than most, with John putting a remake of "Sugar on the Floor" from her Loving & Free album on the flip of one of his hit singles, her chart success in 1974 with "I Got the Music in Me," and her number one duet with John, "Don't Go Breaking My Heart." How could music this good, with so much support, fail to make more of a dent in the charts and in the hearts of fans? Producer Pip Williams, who worked with the Moody Blues, Status Quo, Barclay James Harvest, and others, co-wrote "Another Break," featuring Patrick Moraz on clavitar, and the Teresa Straley/Eddy Brown co-write "Love Is Just a Moment Away" gets a classy treatment with Wings/Elton John drummer Steve Holly adding his magic.
