Don’t Go Breaking My Heart

Posted by Staff on February 9, 2023 - 6:00am

By Karen Kier, Pharmacist on behalf of the ONU HealthWise team

In 1976, Elton John and Kiki Dee released the duet Don’t Go Breaking My Heart. The song was written by Elton John and Bernie Taupin under the pseudonyms of Ann Orson and Carte Blanche. The single was never on an original Elton John album, but appeared on the 1994 release Duets.

Elton John sang the same duet with Miss Piggy on The Muppet Show. He performed the duet again with Kiki Dee for the Live Aid concert, but has done performances with RuPaul, Minnie Mouse and the Spice Girls.

Friends of the Bluffton Public Library 
145 South Main Street 
Bluffton, Ohio 45817

Dear Friends and Prospective Members, 

It's time again to think about supporting the Friends of Bluffton Library by renewing your membership. The Friends now have over 40 members, and we look forward to continued growth. 

The Friends of Bluffton Public Library is a service organization--our main goal is raising money for library programs that can no longer be funded by the library board due to cuts in state funding. This past year the Friends have provided money for library programs, needs, and projects. These programs include early literacy and youth programs, adult programs, outreach and continuing staff development.
