Elton John - Sartorial Eloquence (1980) With Lyrics!

[@davidlp3019]

This song is so underrated. Surprised it never became a real big hit.

[@chrisbills7076]

Criminally underrated song. Should've been a top 20 hit at least.

[@laurencescheyvens7979]

This is almost a back catalogue song from Elton John's sublime playlist. Never hear it on the radio and very rarely see it on his greatest albums. Two words 'astoundingly criminal'.

[@yungalucard9139]

I heard it on Sirius xm ‘80’s on 8’

[@groofoot]

It did make the pop top 40 in the U.S. (peaking at no. 39) .... so you do sometimes hear it on Sirius, and Pandora, or I Heart Music, as yungalucard notes above me ....

[@seanwilliams1538]

I have say without hesitation, my favourite Elton John song. Lyrically, one the song to listen to, every word.

[@Mcfreddo]

Well, that was excellent! I have that album. 44years ago. Just can't believe it!

[@hajnatucic2291]

Such a beautiful, radiant and powerful song, I could play it for 100 times

[@aj.mcgowan5593]

This is a beautiful piece of music. I think this is one of his best songs however it was and is extremely underrated....

[@neilhilton35]

Remember hearing this on 194 Radio City Liverpool in 1980 and liked it ever since. An underrated track from an underrated album 👍👌

[@joshuacurtismusic]

I wanted to revisit the 21@33 album while I studied tonight and I'm so glad I did. Elton has so many great albums that even albums like this can get swept under the rug and this song is just heavenly. It really does deserve more attention

[@PHOENIXHOUSE137]

Can't believe this only reached no 39 in the UK charts. I love this, one of his best in my opinion

[@keithcatlow8173]

Brilliant song, One of my fa ourite Elton songs.

[@brianklein7974]

Perfect tone in his vocals. Addictive.

[@ians3207]

My favourite Elton song, amazed it was never more popular !!!

[@TravelinBand747]

The lyrics sucked, for one thing.

[@Dyonysus777]

One of many brilliant albums (all of them) by musical genius Elton John and the poet Bernie Taupin etc. I still remember the location of scratches and the song order on the lp's I had decades ago. Says something about the quality. All of the songs on this album are unforgettable.

[@vitormachado4877]

I discovered this song recently, so I showed it to my mother, and she loved it, she says she gets emotional when she listens to the choir. Unfortunately it's such an overlooked song

[@auntfloyd9408]

Elton lyric push solo @1:56, again with assistance @3:17, He's awesome, very underrated song.

[@cindyblack4359]

Been looking for this song for 50 years. I had it on an old 8 track. Yard sale find for 10 cents. Thought I would give it another try and by George I got it.

[@groofoot]

He should have put this song on more of his compilation albums ... Yeah, it's on 'Jewel Box', but that set costs $135.00 .... and it's on an old 1982 compilation entitled 'Love Songs', but they punched holes in that album when the 1996 version of 'Love Songs' was issued .... I'll never get tired of listening to this song .....

[@ccalccol]

entered Billboard Aug 9, 1980 ..reached #39

[@astrosjer822]

21 at 33 a good album with two great singles....”Little Jeannie” and “Sartorial Eloquence”. This should have been a bigger hit in the US then it was!

[@CameronEly]

Astrosjer white lady white powder is also good too!

[@richardoldham8781]

Two rooms at the end of the world is awesome

[@richardoldham8781]

White lady white powder rocks

[@neilhilton35]

Absolutely agree. Those are the two best tracks. 😊

[@paulgoldstein3590]

This, Sixty Year on and Seen that Movie too, all album tracks but his top three, just obscenely brilliant on every level

[@anakennedy8415]

Beautiful song.

[@markfernandes9715]

Good song. Remember hearing this on the radio in 1980. Not a big hit, but still the best song on an otherwise mediocre ( by Elton's standards) album.

[@jenniferlecuyer1606]

I've always loved this song!! 😚

[@guytihema2643]

Takes me back to Waipukurau, New Zealand, in 1980, great song then, still love it now, and I was only 7yrs old then, and never forgot this song, just like all Eltons Songs, Great Man.

[@lisawells-baker3208]

Elton wrote a song for you Guy

[@guytihema2643]

@@lisawells-baker3208 Thank you Lisa, I remember a song 4 Guy, Now I know who sang it, Thanks.😉

[@TheDaniel2483]

this song went to #39 on the pop charts in 1980!!!

[@Medic-kr4gn]

Daniel Burns Booooo! It was a better song than that ! Should have been highest rated .

[@mizofan]

a failure by EJ standards, this was in the decline after his golden era, but he has made some fine albums this millennium

[@crodfd9468]

bellissima musica,poi chiaramente la voce completa la meraviglia della musica quando si tratta di un calibro come lui...pensate cosa sarebbe stata per esempio la musica dei queen senza il grande Freddie Mercury....

[@terryjordan1558]

MAN I ADORE THIS SONG!

[@volkernagel6420]

Thanx Elton for this hymn.

[@ghistecyk8733]

Loved this song since the day I bought the album.

[@lisawells-baker3208]

I'm in New Zealand too, loved it....can't understand why it never made the top 3....

[@hopethompson5055]

Love Elton John altogether his songs are so touching

[@joelocke5968]

Love this song.🎹

[@andyhewitt9235]

One of Elton’s best, hat tip to Tom Robbo I think he co-wrote it

[@lincoln_abraham1980]

linda esta musica

[@raimondobuonocuore4332]

Bellissima Song

[@veraluciapintorios5740]

Maravilhoso ❤

[@mariaisabelcastillo6947]

Que bonito

[@scmorson]

Nice!💚❤😒😣😍😘

[@chevyvictor]

Well had it here in New Zealand aswell

[@jo10elton]

I love this song but don't remember it as a single in New Zealand. Maybe wrong. I have a pressing of Benny and the Jets that is spelt wrong Ronnie Friend... It has Bebby and the Jets. Wonder if these spelling mistakes are worth something? Love Elton, even through the electronic and disco stages. Love the Thom Bell Sessions. Worth a listen

[@lb2.0.45]

Love this song I always found it funny though that the melody sounds almost identical to the fox song.

[@viloscohaagen4230]

2:57 Elton looks like Dame Barbara Cartland here😅

[@fleece96]

I'm sure ive heard Tom robison perform this

[@RonnieFriend]

Nice! I'd love to hear a recording of his version.....

[@RonnieFriend]

Yes

[@sl1975sl]

It’s on his Cabaret 79 album

[@mojobag01]

I saw him do it live in Middlesbrough.

[@mizofan]

a good song on a poor album by EJ's standards
