Perfect Timing

Perfect Timing is a 1981 album by British singer Kiki Dee. The album marked a brief comeback for the singer, led by the top 20 single "Star". It was her only album on Ariola Records and reached No.47 on the UK album charts. The title track was also released, peaking at No.66. Two further singles were released; "Midnight Flyer" and "Loving You Is Sweeter Than Ever" (a duet with Elton John). The album was produced by Pip Williams. The album was re-released on CD in 2008 with four bonus tracks - those included are "Give It Up", which had been released as a single in Japan in 1980 and was the B-side to "Star". Opening track "Star" was later used as the opening theme for TV's Opportunity Knocks between 1987 and 1990. It was also used by Debenhams as part of their Christmas Advert 2018 with the tagline “do a bit of you know you did good”. Among the musicians playing on this album are keyboardist Patrick Moraz of Yes and the Moody Blues and Steve Holley of Wings.
