Kiki Dee - Amoureuse

This gorgeous ballad hit the charts in November 1973 and peaked at number 13 in December in the same year. Originally a French song by Véronique Sanson, Gary Osbourne translated the lyrics into English and would be the first real hit single for Kiki on Elton John's Rocket Record label. Basically the song is about a woman after she has her first sexual encounter with a guy. There was another version of this track called Emotion released in America by Helen Reddy, same tune but totally different lyrics. Over the next few years Amoureuse would be re-released again on an E.P Loving And Free and this single is the reissue from 1984.
