Hello. I am old and have Zero Idea how to do instagram. 1 person that you have Never played was My 1st guitar hero of the mid 1970s. His name was TOMMY BOLIN. He, sadly, passed away in December of 1976 of a drug overdose. I was 17 and his death Crushed My World for quite a While. I would LOVE to see/watch your reaction to "Dreamer" Studio version off of the Album "Teaser". Also, MY Favorite Tommy Bolin song is "Wild Dogs" also off of his 1st solo album, "Teaser". Also, a Great jamm song off of his 2nd solo Album, ''Private Eyes'', is the track titled "Post Toastee". Everyone gets to Show Off a Bit On "Post Toastee". IF you love songs with Great Dynamics from slow, sparse, beautiful and melodic to- Boom, rocking out in a flash, and then BOOM- right back to soft and mellow, then "Dreamer" is for you. I would recommend the regular studio audio of all 3. Thank you. I Love watching your shows!

Elton was running out of gas by the late 70's. After about 5 years he landed back on top with I'm Still Standing in 1983. The song is telling the world that he can rise up and return to the top of the charts.

Actually he had several high charting hits between 1979-1983. I read that Elton wrote this over the breakup of a lover who left him for a closeted gay male movie star. He then went on to marry a woman ..and well....

@Vincent Schmitt Little Jeanne went to #6 in 1980. Mama Can't Buu You Love #18 in 1979 and Blue Eyes #12 in 1981 along with Empty Garden so I'm Still Standing was not a comeback record. It was sort of promoted that way and so was Sad Songs Say So Much in 1984. Great newsworthy publicity though. This sort of started when his early 1981 album The Fox completely flopped with no hit singles on it although many say it's thier favorite Elton album of that decade.

John Taylor says Elton drank them under the table! They thought he wouldn't be able to keep up because he was so much older than they were, but he showed them, I guess!

@@RickTBL But in 1975 there was also the greatest album of all time, Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy. It went downhill after that and sharply after Blue Moves (a bit of a mixed bag, with a couple of needlessly extended tracks- would have been better with some tracks from Rock of the Westies replacing a few on BM, instead of separate double and single albums), but yes songs like Philadelphia Freedom, Island Girl (both #1 in USA) and even Crocodile Rock (1972, his first #1) were a departure from his early albums. I didn't hate PF, but it's well below his best. And another #1, Don't Go Breaking My Heart, is a song non Elton fans tend to like more. At school i had friend into disco and it was easily his favourite by Elton. Not in my Elton top 100 (nor Crocodile Rock, which Elton and Bernie aren't keen on either, or Island Girl.) There are many hidden gems in Elton's catalogue far superior to some of his most famous songs.

I lived next to a hospital so I would hear ambulances day and night, and everyday at 7 pm I would hear the people cheer for the emergency workers. It was a tough time for me since I was alone and far from home, but this song helped me greatly to get through it and stay strong through my darker moments and for that I'll always love it.

One of moms absolute favourite songs,as she knew.....she knew what he was going through. And she absolutely loved the lyrics and the beat,everything. And she kind of brought Elton John into my life too as just a tiny kid,so i have allways been listening to him,if i wanted to or not. As i grew up and even as an adult,i have been roasted and bashed for listening to him. But you know,people that does that shit,are the ones that at a later point comes out of the closet themselfs,or they have bigger obstacles and troubles to face in theyr lifes. As long as they dont directly hurt you,provoce you or whatever,just let them be whoever they really are. Because i know this much......a unhappy life,is a life not worth living. And we dont need anymore suicides out there. We lost far too much incredible talent that way! We are in this together,so we should back eachother up when times gets rough!

This song always reminds me of that brave young man Ryan White who passed from AIDS back in the 80s. I remember Elton befriended him and the song was featured on the soundtrack to the movie about Ryan White's life. Everyone from Ronald Reagan to Michael Jackson, John Mellencamp, Howie Long and others became friends and pushed to help Ryan and his family out. It was a powerful song when Ryan was still alive.

“Sorry seems to be the hardest word” “believe” “you’ll be blessed” and “your song” are some of my favorites by Elton

Elton John was one of those artists I discovered by watching MTV and later realized they weren't new and had been around for a while.

In 1983, i was on vacation in the South of France, and spent a day in Nice, and on the Promenade des Anglaise, they were filming this video! We were probably in one of the crowd scenes about 3 minutes in. This song will always remind me about that vacation!

My brother introduced me to Elton a few months before he died so I’ve liked Elton since I was 8. good songs by him I enjoy are Last song and The way you look tonight. Keep spreading the love for music and each other Jamel.

Fun fact: the dancer in black who is also the doorman is Bruno from Dancing with the Stars. According to Pop Up Video, Elton crushed on him during production. Later, Elton would marry a woman for four years. This album was also Elton's first with his old 70s band back together. In between takes, Elton would have drinks with Duran Duran.

Nice, i just got into this channel like, 2 hrs ago and this song is the one i was listening right before finding you! As a matter of fact, Duran Duran was in Naples at the same time Elton was shoting this vid, so they throw a big big party, so big that Elton woke up the next morning had a blackout and a complete trashed suit in the hotel!

“Your Song” & “I guess that’s why they call it the blues “ by Elton John are my two favorites by him. My best friend carried me to see him a few years back. One of the greatest nights of my life. Checked off my bucket list.

I was a big Elton John fan in the 70s. In the latter part of the decade, he had a lot of personal issues and kind of disappeared for about 5 years. "I'm Still Standing" was his comeback song!! 💜💜
