I don’t know, I think Elton got a whole lotta accolades for his talents for several decades. Everyone I hear holds his talents in the very highest acclaim.
@@alphabeets he had a surgery in 1986. It kinda changed his voice. It got a little bit deeper and he lost the ability to use his Falsetto. But he still sounded good. But I'd say from 2010 he declined
I don't know about that I remember the radio playing "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" and "Someone Saved My Life Tonight" a lot and me learning the words and singing along. Also "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" and "Pinball Wizard" were big radio hits when I was about 13 - 15 y.o.
Sweet backups, no auto-tune. I didn’t realize EJ double tracked his vocals on the choruses (well that is how it sounds to me). Makes sense. Guitar bleed, gated. Interesting.. backing vocals seem to consistently go flat on “rocket maaan” on the trail-off. The things you don’t notice in a full mix...lol
jajajajaja is true bro.... 70's rules!!!, the song is a jewel in absolutely everything, its structure, composition, instrumentation, vowels, everything is of the highest level, Elton is the man!
Woww !!! I'm recording all the vocal tracks for this at the moment . This is great so much easier to hear all the harmonies thank you. Masterful vocal work and writing . And to the ones with the thumbs down . You don't have a clue . And I know you can't pull it off if you could you'd know better . Show some respect .
Mr. Elton is a wonderful musician, really a special talent! It is true that it is difficult to pay attention to someone who composed that... and plays the piano like that!
She packed my bags last night pre-flight Zero hour nine AM And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then I miss the earth so much I miss my wife It's lonely out in space On such a timeless flight And I think it's gonna be a long long time 'Till touch down brings me round again to find I'm not the man they think I am at home Oh no no no I'm a rocket man Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone And I think it's gonna be a long long time 'Till touch down brings me round again to find I'm not the man they think I am at home Oh no no no I'm a rocket man Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids In fact it's cold as hell And there's no one there to raise them if you did And all this science I don't understand It's just my job five days a week A rocket man, a rocket man And I think it's gonna be a long long time 'Till touch down brings me round again to find I'm not the man they think I am at home Oh no no no I'm a rocket man Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone And I think it's gonna be a long long time 'Till touch down brings me round again to find I'm not the man they think I am at home Oh no no no I'm a rocket man Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone And I think it's gonna be a long long time And I think it's gonna be a long long time And I think it's gonna be a long long time And I think it's gonna be a long long time And I think it's gonna be a long long time And I think it's gonna be a long long time And I think it's gonna be a long long time And I think it's gonna be a long long time
Hi, what a coincidence, it's an eminence the bastard, last year I analyzed his work, I try to get isoloated from goodbye yellow brick road for months and others songs, is a popular genius the fucking bastad!
@@joshkweller6621 It's true bro, just like years ago I only heard few hits but I was looking for more of him and he really has a great job, it's true bro, was a great pop singer!
You won’t see many current pop stars do isolated vocals… until after autotune fixes them up. If you want to hear some mind blowing vocal talent, check out Grace Slick isolated vocals.
I don't understand the comment about "doing isolated vocals"? This is the vocal track from the recorded version of the song. There is a surround version of the album (with many channels) that was sold where the vocals are on one channel and so can be isolated in play. That's where this likely came from. The other way is by using relatively expensive software that can isolate individual instruments or vocals.
That's right brother, this song handles a lot of syncopation and it becomes complex without initial reference to the tempo, just the voice of Elton, keep practicing!
@@tamjidahmed2343 Thanks for your reply. So, if this was not an artist released vocal version of their song, can we assume that it's bootlegged and essentially illegal for TH-cam to be supporting? If it was artist released, why would they not make it so it can be purchased? I am not trying to be contentious, I just don't understand how the industry works.
@@jims3721There are two common ways of doing this. One is that for many of these classic albums, there are versions mixed for surround sound (many speakers). Many times, the center channel is mixed having vocals only, and so easily can be isolated. The other way is that there is relatively expensive software than can strip out individual instruments or vocals. One of those two were done here. For some reason, most of the people posting these isolated track videos don't reveal the method. I can only speculate it is because they want people to praise them for posting, and or hold them in high regard. Usually a comment to them is "Wow, you got the masters for this album? How did you get that?", which of course isn't the case.
If it's before 1997 you know autotune wasn't a thing. This is real talent.
You can tell about auto-tune specially live 😉
It's not only his high notes that I love so much. It's also his tone. So rich and warm. Simply a beautiful singing voice.
Johnstone, Murray and Olsen were not only great musicians but their backing vocals were such a signature part of the sound.
Amazing info!! Thanks!!💫🤟
They were absolute keystones to Elton John’s well known and successful sound. There was no mistaking their contribution and sound.
One of the greatest songs ever written.
I agree!! 💫👌
Shatner is so good, he does his own isolated vocals.
Elton's singing ability never got the accolades it deserved. Yes, the songwriting & piano playing are what he's best at, but he is an excellent singer
100% agreed
I don’t know, I think Elton got a whole lotta accolades for his talents for several decades. Everyone I hear holds his talents in the very highest acclaim.
But I would say that his vocal abilities now in 2023 sound much much more forced and strained. This track was Elton in his finest form.

2:33 the best part in my opinion... Such an amazing voice! Elton John is king!
A real pop vocal icon!!!💫👌💯
Just listen to the compression on his vocals. God damn it sounds perfect. Wow.
Amazing work in recording studio!!
Amazing! You hear the Beach Boys influence as Elton loved them.
True!!! Thanks for comment!!!
You cannot top this song!
Really a Rocket Man performance. This is SUBLIME.
My brain automatically fills in the piano. This is unfair
Mr. Elton is a wonderful musician, really a special talent! It is true that it is difficult to pay attention to someone who composed that... and plays the piano like that!
WOW. Sends chills down my spine.
She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Zero hour nine AM
And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then
I miss the earth so much I miss my wife
It's lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
'Till touch down brings me round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
'Till touch down brings me round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone
Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact it's cold as hell
And there's no one there to raise them if you did
And all this science I don't understand
It's just my job five days a week
A rocket man, a rocket man
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
'Till touch down brings me round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
'Till touch down brings me round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
And I think it's gonna be a long long time
I used to think it was- "burning out his fumes up here alone"
fuse . . . thanks
Elton, Davey, Dee and Nigel! Amazing!
Second only to The Beatles in my view.
What a supremely talented human being - a gift to humanity.
Background vocals amazing.
I've been looking for isolated tracks from this song and found your channel accidentally!

@@dnnvcx I never have listened to their songs and have discovered he's a good singer

Cool
My nose tingles when tears come to my eyes
I love this
Me too bro!!! :'
Increditbly powerful. Thank you for this.
So true!!, thanks for being on the channel! : "3

I'm trying to play along with the piano and it's a struggle lol

Always a real struggle with just the voice.
Please do tiny dancer isolated vocals!
It is a track that is very difficult to find clean and trying to do it yourself always have cast instruments that are difficult but we will try!
@Bennett Austin th-cam.com/video/JZ5gBO7MT0g/w-d-xo.html
Brilliant singing hey!
No Dan fogelberg isolated v? That’s where the power was!
This song is so haunting

Amazing!! thanks for being on the channel! :'
💜💜
Wooouuuu!!!!! 😃🌟
137 Bbmaj?
:')
Wow I am a changed person
I'm too :'3...
Can you buy vocal tracks anywhere?
No.. it can be taken out from an audio track using a specific app or programme. Artist usually don’t release only vocal version of their songs..
@@tamjidahmed2343 Thanks for your reply. So, if this was not an artist released vocal version of their song, can we assume that it's bootlegged and essentially illegal for TH-cam to be supporting?

@@zigner Thanks for the education. Very helpful! Wish they would just sell the vocal track.
yes ,with an internet connection
The music industry WAS cool at one time. Today....shame and sham
