When life gives you a tambourine, play it like a lead guitar.

Ray Cooper is a great percussionist. He is also great at the Piano. Watch Elton’s Saturday Nights Alright in Moscow 1979. That shows ray coopers skill. That entire concert was great.

That's Ray Cooper and he is the best percussionist on the planet. He's been in Elton's concerts for years.

[@masterblackmon]

His voice matured beautifully

[@algallego]

He's not quite singing at the same range when he originally premiered this song, but then again, neither am I and I'm not a pro like Reginald is! However, he still has great vocal tone for performance regardless of the key or range; I can only hope my voice will survive that well into my sunset years!!!!

[@AJ_76421]

@@algallego he also had surgery to remove cysts on his vocal chords in the 80’s which made his voice deeper and affected his range

[@michaelhofer9149]

I’m one lucky son of a biscuit! I was born in 1958 and I have gotten to experience some of the GREATEST MUSIC EVER! My experiences were listening to it on the radio, on vinyl albums, “8 Track” tape, cassette tapes, DAT and CD. I’ve seen very few acts live but I can create my own concert anytime thanks to the 21st Century. If I die tonight I will feel fulfilled because I got to experience this! TY Sir Elton John for your decades of entertainment!

Started listening to Elton a little while ago, I’m 15 and I CANNOT wait until I can see him in concert next year. What a talented musician. I went from listening to filthy rap all the time to Elton John. Interesting change.

[@wayneweckwerth9080]

Congratulations

[@markw3598]

definite upgrade!!

[@awrencallinthewoods474]

Upgrade for sure

[@peterjones4621]

Hahaha, yes a very interesting change. What brought it on? Was it one particular song? When you find the time listen to Indian Sunset and Come down in time. I could suggest songs of Elton's for you to listen too but it would talk to much time. I'm happy you've crossed over. :) I saw Elton when he first came to Seattle in 1975, he was absolutely amazing, his vocals were perfect, I will never forget that concert and my beautiful girlfriend Sue, I lost her but I'll never forget that concert.

[@mylovesongs2429]

One of the best songs he's ever done! It's in the original key of the 1972 album "Madman Across the Water". The song is about Bernie Taupin's girlfriend at the time. She was the seamstress for the Elton John band. Taupin later married her.
