Like Rare Earth though, most were new to the music scene, such as Kiki Dee; she was the first female artist from England that was signed to Motown Records, though Kiki Dee had better success with Elton John’s label Rocket Records, including the 1974 hit “I’ve Got the Music in Me” and her well-known duet with Elton John on the 1976 hit “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart”.
