"Don't Go Breaking My Heart" is a duet by Elton John and Kiki Dee. It was written by Elton John with Bernie Taupin under the pseudonym "Ann Orson" and "Carte Blanche" (a pun on the expression "an horse and cart, blanche"), and intended as an affectionate pastiche of the Tamla Motown style, notably the various duets recorded by Marvin Gaye and singers such as Tammi Terrell and Kim Weston.

  • "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" is a duet by Elton John and Kiki Dee. It was written by Elton John with Bernie Taupin under the pseudonym "Ann Orson" and "Carte Blanche" (a pun on the expression "an horse and cart, blanche"), and intended as an affectionate pastiche of the Tamla Motown style, notably the various duets recorded by Marvin Gaye and singers such as Tammi Terrell and Kim Weston. It is not to be confused with the Burt Bacharach/Hal David song of the same title recorded in 1966 by Dionne Warwick. Like many of Elton John's singles from the 1970s, it was never included on any of his original albums (though it was recorded during the same sessions that produced Blue Moves). However, it was included on the original version of Elton John's Greatest Hits Volume II in 1977. It has since been shifted to the "Volume 3" compilation, Greatest Hits 1976–1986. In 2002, it also appeared on Elton John's 2-disc greatest hits album, Elton John's Greatest Hits 1970-2002. A demo version of the song was recorded by John as a solo artist. This version has not been released commercially. "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" was also John's first No. 1 single in the UK, topping the chart for six weeks in mid 1976. He would not enjoy a solo British chart-topper until 1990. It also became his sixth No. 1 single in the US, topping the Billboard Hot 100 for four weeks. The b-side "Snow Queen" has yet to be released on CD. The song was supposedly inspired by Cher, with Elton's improvising past Sonny & Cher hits I Got You Babe, and The Beat Goes On as well as the solo Cher song Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down) during the fadeout of the song. In 1985, John and Dee performed the track to the crowd at Wembley Stadium during John's set at Live Aid (where Dee sang backup). In 1987, Elton appeared with Minnie Mouse on the NBC series Totally Minnie performing the track. He also performed it with the Spice Girls on his ITV tribute programme An Audience With Elton John.
  • Don’t Go Breaking My Heart ist ein Duett von Elton John und Kiki Dee aus dem Jahr 1976. Es wurde von Elton John und Bernie Taupin unter den Pseudonymen „Ann Orson“ und „Carte Blanche“ komponiert. Der Song war Elton Johns erster Nummer-Eins-Hit in Großbritannien und blieb sechs Wochen lang auf Platz eins der Charts. Wie viele Singles von Elton John aus den 1970er-Jahren war das Lied nie auf einem seiner ursprünglichen Alben enthalten. Jedoch erschien es auf der Original-Version von Elton John's Greatest Hits Volume II aus dem Jahr 1977. Später war es noch auf den Alben Elton John’s Greatest Hits 1976-1986 und Elton John’s Greatest Hits 1970-2002 enthalten. Im Jahr 1985 sang Elton John das Lied zusammen mit Kiki Dee vor einem Publikum im Wembley-Stadion während seines Auftritts bei Live Aid. Fast zwanzig Jahre nach der Erstveröffentlichung nahm Elton John den Song mit RuPaul neu auf und gab ihn neu heraus. Das Lied ist auch in dem Film Ella – Verflixt & Zauberhaft (Ella Enchanted, 2004) sowie in dem Disney-Animationsfilm Himmel und Huhn (Chicken Little, 2005) zu hören.
  • Don't Go Breaking My Heart è un brano musicale cantato in duetto da Elton John e Kiki Dee. Il brano fu scritto da Elton John e Bernie Taupin, sotto gli pseudonimi di "Ann Orson" e "Carte Blanche", ed intesa come una affettuosa presa in giro dello stile dell'etichetta Motown, ed in particolar modo dei vari duetti registrati da Marvin Gaye. Come alcuni singoli registrati da Elton John negli anni settanta, la canzone non fu mai inclusa in alcun album, se non nei vari greatest hits pubblicati in seguito, come Elton John's Greatest Hits Volume II del 1977 o Elton John's Greatest Hits 1970-2002 del 2002. Don't Go Breaking My Heart fu il primo numero uno di Elton John nel Regno Unito, dove rimase per ben sei settimane nel 1976. Il singolo raggiunse anche la vetta della Billboard Hot 100 per quattro settimane, ed ottenne successo in quasi tutto il mondo. La B-side del singolo, "Snow Queen" fu scritta e dedicata alla superstar americana Cher (grande amica di Elton). Nel 1985, John e Dee eseguirono il brano davanti alla folla del Wembley Stadium durante la manifestazione Live Aid.
  • Don't Go Breaking My Heart, skriven av Ann Orson och Carte Blanche, är en poplåt som spelades in i duett av Elton John och Kiki Dee, och 1976 blev en stor hit i många länder, och toppade singellistorna i bland annat Australien, USA och Storbritannien. Precis som många andra singlar av Elton John under 1970-talet låg den ursprungligen inte på något av hans album, men har senare kommit med på diverse samlingar.
