      Agreed many pop artists of today never seem to give acknowledgement to the songwriters who actually pen the lyrics, EVEN if they are frequent collaborators. Elton has ALWAYS made it clear it's him and Bernie Taupin who make these songs TOGETHER, which is commendable.

      @@Allagi22 Well, today's (popular) music is usually an amorphous blob with the "charismatic" "singers" being on the pointy end of vast factories which churn out "hits"-look up "Max Martin" if you'd like to see what one of these "Hit factories" looks like-but the days in which an Elton and a Bernie teaming up to produce astonishing oeuvres of hundreds of titles are long, long gone.
      Like the Brill Building in the US-a ground zero of singer-songwriter, ghostwriters and jingle writers, produced such legends as Steely Dan and Tin Pan Alley on Denmark St. in London produced Elton and Bernie, although in their case it was overnight success after about three years' hard work.
      But like the era before the Internet, those days are gone forever . . over a long time ago, to quote Donald Fagen.

      I saw Elton in Vegas about 3 weeks ago with my father and some other family. We lost his mother (my grandma) and his wife (my stepmother) over the past couple of years. I've never held my father's hand but we did and cried 99% of the song. One of the most powerful and emotional moments of my life. Such a beautiful song.

    I got to see Elton John play at Ischgl, Austria about 10 or 15 years ago. But this was no ordinary concert. Ischgl is a ski resort (part of the ski area is in Switzerland). He and his band played up on the mountain, in the middle of the ski area. They started with 'Funeral for a Friend (Love lies bleeding) which could not have been more perfect. The next 6 songs were exactly what I wanted to hear, so after that, I went skiing above the concert area. It was simply magic to be able to hear most of the rest of the concert from above with only a handful of skiers. Thank you Elton John for probably my favorite concert experience.....

    Always the best show for anyone when Elton John is a guest. Good job Stephen. The proper amount of excitement was exhibited.

      Yes, the 70's music came in a close second to the 60's, where music changed drastically, and kept evolving into the 70's. Beatles, Stones, Doors, Motown, Hendrix, Jefferson Airplane, etc.

    Just finished the audiobook Me his autobiography, it was excellent, not at all what I expected from a biography. I laughed and admittedly shed some tears over the Diana chapter, but most all I have profound respect for him as a person after hearing his story.
    For those that read the stories about him trashing people, that's not really case at all you have to hear the context not just a line here and there.

  • @GregStallion

    Elton's proof that one of the many keys (no pun intended) to being a good musician is actually knowing/understanding music history, theory and composition. Today's pop stars can't even tell you how many notes there are in a chromatic scale, let alone name each individual one.

  • @georghagglund9338
    @georghagglund9338 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Elton John has done SO much music. I think quite few even heard it all. "Wonderful Crazy Night" which is his latest record is acutally fun and well-produced! It doesn't really compare in songwriting to his early 70's but I enjoy the record now and again!

  • @Nemo71340

    Got to see Elton in concert a few weeks ago for his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour and about a year ago on another tour. So happy I got to see him live, both concerts were amazing and a lot of it was just great rock and roll. Would be awesome to meet him in real life.

      @@IdeaSeeker "Of course a woman commented this"... Really? You're a homophobic and misogynist bigot. If someone has something wrong in his brain, that someone is you. You're lacking empathy and respect. I bet Elton would be disgusted by your comment.

    When Elton was hot in the mid 70s all you heard was his singles on the radio. It was always a shock to hear that there were so many amazing album tracks that they never played on the radio. Imagine hearing Funeral for a Friend /Love Lies Bleeding or the song Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy and realizing they were better than the singles from the albums.
