When you realize you have never known a time in your life where this mans music wasnt woven in the fabric of your musical life, you appreciated it beyond measure. Such a beautiful mind to create such songs.. Thanks Elton.

Its just too bad we don't have all that many talented musicians now a days to fill the shoes of all the greats that we've come to know and love. I feel bad for wherever music is headed...

I saw him in concert about 30 years ago in Chicago....It was the best concert I have ever seen.

He sang it like that 40 years ago. The fact he is still here is more than enough. Elton is legend. God bless him, and god bless us for being here when he was.

It's hard to believe that it has already been a few years since this concert. Where have the years gone? But wow.. he's still got it. Elton John is a legend and he always will be.

Listen. I saw Elton John twice. He is a great performer and to those who say he did not hit the high notes. He has earned the right to sing it any way he wants.

Ah... the ongoing discussion of the better between his present or former voice.... in the early seventies his 33 lp album was my favorite album, then when cassettes were big I'd enjoy his singing in my car... now nearing sixty myself I marvel at how his voice has matured and how my daughters (11 and 15) have embraced his music, just as I did. What we hear in Elton today is more than a great singer/pianist but the stuff legends are made of!
@sargantfrosty15 жыл бұрын
BEST pianist ever in my book, and idc if he's gay because stuff like that shouldn't define a person. What does define a person is their character and what they've done with their life. and Elton John has a hell lot of character and has given the gift of beautiful music to millions of ears! Long live Sir Elton John in body mind and spirit!

*ELTON JOHN, IS THE #1 SUPERSTAR ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD!!* *HOWEVER, HE NEEDS PRAYER IF TO MAKE IT INTO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN!!!* *ROMANS 10:9-10* "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."* *1 JOHN 1:9 "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."*

There are few people who have changed the course of music, Elton John is one of those. Timeless music feels like it was written today.. that's an accomplishment to the testament and creativity he brings into his performances.
