Elton John & Kiki Dee - Don't Go Breaking My Heart (1976) with Kiki Dee, Cindy Bullens and their friends on backup vocals

Image
" Don't Go Breaking My Heart " is a 1976 duet by  Elton John  and  Kiki Dee . It was written by Elton John with  Bernie Taupin  under the pseudonyms "Ann Orson" and "Carte Blanche", respectively, and intended as an affectionate pastiche of the  Motown  style, notably the various duets recorded by  Marvin Gaye  and singers such as  Tammi Terrell  and  Kim Weston . It should not be confused with the  Burt Bacharach / Hal David  song of the same title recorded in 1965 by  Dionne Warwick  for the album  Here I Am . John and Taupin originally intended to record the song with  Dusty Springfield , but ultimately withdrew the offer; Springfield's partner Sue Cameron later said this was because she was too ill at the time.

Cindy Bullens at CBGB - last 2 songs, including the hit "Survivor" (aired on Nov. 25, 1980)

She and her band performed last 2 songs, including the hit "Survivor". This is why she never look feminine. Instead she was too masculine except her female voice inside.  

Why Cindy Bullens who was without luster was never part of Women's History Month

  aired on Sunday, March 8, 2020 in honor of both Women's History Month and International Women's Day Cindy Bullens: Cindy Bullens (born Cynthia Bullens March 21, 1955 - died as a female Cynthia Bullens December 1, 2011) was an American singer-songwriter who grew up in Massachusetts. Bullens released two albums in the late 1970s on United Artists and Casablanca and another in 1989.[1] Bullens' 1978 debut album, Desire Wire is described flatly by William Ruhlmann for Allmusic as: "One of the great lost rock albums of the 1970s, Bullens' debut release is full of tough, passionate, incredibly catchy rock & roll played to the hilt and sung with fire".[2] These early albums anticipated later work by a host of 1980s female and female-identified rock artists, from Pat Benatar, to Blondie, to the Go-Go's, to Headpins. In 1974, Bullens performed background vocals on Gene Clark's album No Other and as one of the Sex-O-Lettes on the debut album by Disco-T...

Elton John - Hercules (1976) - live in concert with Cindy Bullens on backup vocals

Image
Taken from his 1972 album, "Honky Chateau" This fun track is an early John/Taupin collaboration, which appears to be based on the old joke about the wimp who has sand kicked in his face at the beach by a muscle man, who then walks off with his girlfriend. Although he wrote the lyrics - as always - it is difficult to imagine country boy Bernie allowing himself to be subjected to such treatment, but the likely inspiration is that it is a joke directed at Elton himself, who was a self-deprecating type even way back then. Born Reginald Kenneth Dwight, the singer-songwriter took his showbiz name Elton from saxophonist Elton Dean who played with Bluesology, and Long John Baldry, the band's leader. He changed it legally to his real name by notice in the June 11, 1972 edition of the London Gazette - an official British Government publication.  The second verse of "Hercules" contains the lines: "Ooh well I like women and I like wine And I've always liked it that...
