He has also was on stage doing a duet with Elton during Elton's concerts. Taron actually sang the songs in Rocketman (and it was really hard telling Elton's voice from Taron's. Taron sang this song in SING!. So Malik gets the oscar for playing freddy in bohemian rhapsody but Taron sings the songs in Rocketman and doesnt even get noticed.

This number in "Sing" apparently helped Taron get the part in Rocketman. I forget the interview it happened in, but Elton John has said that he was impressed by the performance and considered Taron for the part based partially off of that.

This was a "come back" album of sorts as he and lyricist Bernie Taupin started writing together again. "Kiss The Bride" is a good one from this album and "I Gues That's Why They Call It The Blues" is a must.

@robdaviesprogm 2 жыл бұрын

Bernie's lyrics had been present on all of Elton's albums during the 1976-82 period except 1978's A Single Man and 1979's Victim of Love (though in the latter case even Elton didn't have anything to do with the writing), though Bernie had written only some of the songs on those albums instead of all of them. Even in 1978, Bernie's lyrics were featured on B-Sides and the stand-alone single "Ego". However, it is true that 1983's Too Low for Zero was the first time since 1976 that Bernie's lyrics made up all of the songs on the album. The only writing credit for anyone besides Elton and Bernie was Davey Johnstone on "I Guess That's Why They Call It the Blues".

I remember Sing. Good movie with some good songs. This is a very '80s song. I believe it's about the fact that Elton came through a very long and dark journey that ended in rehab, and "he's still standing, better than he ever did". A lot of people had written him off and said he was done making hits before this song came out. But Elton has gotten it over on everyone. He just gets better with age.

Sir Elton John along with Bernie Taupin were one of the greatest singer/songwriter teams in rock history. Elton started with big hits like Crocodile Rock and Saturday Nights alright for Fighting and continued aging with his fans. In later life he sang beautiful songs like Blue Eyes and Sacrifice. He will also be remembered for bravely singing his rewritten version of Candle in the Wind at Priness Diana's funeral. Love him.💕

Amusingly enough, the guy who did the voice acting for the gorilla in Sing was Taron Egerton - who later went on to star in Kingsman 2, which featured Elton John. And as a kicker, he then went on to not only play Elton himself, but even recreate the original I’m Still Standing music video for Rocketman, the exceptionally good Elton John biopic.

Another channel listened to the entire Tapestry album (Carole King) and I literally cried listening to it because I used to listen to it all the way through when I was young and it was so great to hear it again all the way through.

In 1997, John performed a rewritten version of the song, "Candle in the Wind 1997", as a tribute to Diana, Princess of Wales. In 2004, Rolling Stone Magazine listed the original version of the song at No. 347 of its 500 greatest.

EJ was very much out of the closet by this point in his career... He was unapologetically flamboyant so the creative part of his music vids were just par for the course... Everyone knew it was just his style to be this way and it caught on as one of the reasons why so many gay people of the time chose to show that same outward pride in their sexuality.

Eltons songs from the 70s are much rawer and piano filled compared to his later stuff. Levon, Funeral for a Friend, Madman Across the Water… Honky Cat, Amy….

"Candle in the Wind" is a beautiful song which he also sang at Princess Diana's funeral.

Saw him do this at Live Aid. It had been a long day, we were all tired, hot from the strong sunshine, and emotional. He came on and played this just as it started to rain gently. It’s one on my fondest memories of that day. Great song.

One of my favorite Elton songs. Just a great beat and fun song that everybody can find something to relate to it with. There was so much controversy surrounding his sexual orientation in the late 70s after a failed marriage and him confirming being bi-sexual. Smear stories and other trash showing up on the cover of every gossip magazine in the states and bigots that took a lot of shots at him in the media. Seems so bizarre today. Likely a big part of the not so subtle sexual innuendos in the video clearly relating to all sexual orientations. This song seemed to be the perfect answer for his career still being viable in the 80s despite all the attacks on him in the late 70s. By this time he was not hiding his bi-sexual orientation and came out as gay about 5 years later. I used to have a concert video he did from Disney World in the mid-90s. Just him and an incredible percussionist using a variety of percussion instruments from massive gongs to steel drums. One of the best performances I have ever seen of him and before he had his throat surgery that altered his vocal range. If anyone knows where to find that these days please let me know!

What makes Elton John a class act is he separated his music from his orientation. He never felt the need (as is the case today) to throw it in people faces so even those that may disagree with his life style could enjoy his music. What's more, he attended and performed at Rush Limbaugh's wedding. An example of how we can live together in a world that often disagrees.

Speaking of Disney, you need to hear his opening song for The lion King, The Circle Of life. Unlike anything he had done before or has done since, but a true classic.

"50 something" syndicated music request, I disagree with Dustin by a L-O-N-G shot (respectfully). Try some truly great songs instead: Madman Across the Water, Burn Down the Mission, Levon, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Harmony, Elderberry Wine, Don't Let the Sun go Down on Me, Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding, Grey Seal, Honky Cat, Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters, Daniel, Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting, The Bitch is Back, Pinball Wizard are all superior songs to anything that came after 1976 in the humble opinion of all those people born before 1960. Come you "elders" who know better....chime in!

A couple of uptempo ones you missed out: Philadelphia Freedom and Don't Go Breaking My Heart. From the 80's onwards, the only decent album he released was "Jump Up!", which had the classic ballad "Empty Garden (Hey Hey Johnny)" amongst many other strong tracks. After that, the only track I really liked of Elton's was the fantastic Shep Pettibone remix of "I Don't Wanna Go On With You Like That" which turned the reasonable pop number of the original into a barnstorming dance floor filler (so good, even Elton remarks how great it is at the very end, though most of the versions on KZfaq cut that bit out!). 70's Elton was stunning though - massive high quality output that only the Beatles could match in terms of quantity and quality.

Bennie and the Jets too. I love Harmony. It's a deep cut and not as much airplay but such a pretty song.

I'm chiming and you just named all of the songs that I would listen to.. with Elton, it was easy to listen to the entire albums, such as Yellow Brick Road and Madman.. Tumbleweed Connection and Captain Fantastic. Harmony is one of my favorites.. All the Young Girls Love Alice, Roy Rogers, Razor Face.. all of them. He's my favorite artist, if you can't tell... although I kind of fell off after Captain Fantastic.. I'm like you.. I would rather hear "Now I know.. Spanish Harlem are not just pretty words to say".. than I'm still standing, although I will find myself singing along, I'm sure. Texan Love Song has always been a favorite of mine too.

@@rklrkl64 I forgot about I don't want to go on with you like that.. I always thought that was kind of catchy. I think, for me, things changed when his voice changed.. it's not the same Elton, through no fault of his own, of course. I still enjoy the music, but he sings much lower. Have a good one!

@randygibson318 2 жыл бұрын

Anything off of Tumbleweed Connection, hell , anything off ANY of his albums before 76. I went in the army in 74 and the first thing I bought after basic training was his first 7 albums. And I didn’t have any others with me at that point and didn’t care! Never got tired of them.
