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".[1] It was her only album on Ariola Records and reached No.47 on the UK album charts.[2] The title track was also released, peaking at No.66.[1] 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.[3] It was also used by Debenhams as part of their Christmas Advert 2018[4] 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.
