[@jayden2ful]

Elton John is now 72 yrs young and in 2018 embarked on his 3 yr farewell world tour. Soon to be in Australia. He has done 30 albums with over 300 million record sales. Just a legend of music

[@peterkelley4346]

I saw a video of him near the end of the show and he had a bit of a problem and need some medical help someone came out and check his vitals after a while he felt better and played the last song . before he started the people in the crowd were yelling "Take you time Take you time" and boy can he play i do a few of his songs on my guitar ..!

I'm 55 now, I grew up with Elton john, I did not consider that I was a fan, but I know every word and love all his music, he's sort of transcended normal songs it's like he's in your DNA..

Elton John is a master entertainer .... 1979 Moscow show, he and Ray Cooper mesmerized us ... No Orchestra, No Backup Singers, No Autotune... Just Elton's voice, his piano, and Ray who is one of the best percussionist in the music industry...

TINY DANCER BY ELTON JOHN

I remember being in school in the early 70s and I was sent home sick and my fever had went up that night and I was laying on my mom's lap as a 1st grader,she had the tableside radio on and this song came on and her rubbing my head with a cool cloth and singing this to me in the dark..memories

My brother & I met Elton John in 1973 at John Lennon Airport (Liverpool UK). So surreal. My brother asked him for an autograph & we got it!! He was so nice too. That was YEARS ago!! But probably Bernie Taupin was there too. We saw all the band walking along, we were in disbelief! At the time it was only Elton John I knew!! Love him so much, oh, & LOST the signed autograph!!!!

[@barbaramatthews4735]

He's a talented artist. I like this song as well as many others by him. I can't picked a favorite because they're all good.

[@SweetThing]

Love Elton's "Someone Saved My Life Tonight", "I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues", "Blue Eyes" and "Island Girl". :-)

[@mikek5958]

"Blue Eyes" one of my all-time favorites.

[@SweetThing]

@@mikek5958 - and "Song for Guy" is lovely too.

[@rootedandgrounded0911]

"Blue Eyes",and "Nikita" written by Elton. "Benny and the Jets" was my fav of Elton's early music. I also always loved "Candle in the Wind" about Bernie Taupin's admiration for Marilyn Monroe, but when Princes Diana died and they rewrote that song as "Goodbye English Rose" for Diana's funeral I've never thought of it as "Candle in the Wind" again.

Married in 1971, that was “ our song “ . And it still is.

[@missjoshemmett]

Elton's autobiography just came out, my dear, and it is a must read. How he is still alive is a story in and of itself. Lyrics by Bernie Taupin, which were by accident and look where these two have taken it! This song and Tiny Dancer are the ones that pop into my mind most often. Also, I know I often complain about live performances and it being years and years later, but one of the great things about Elton is that he never gets tired of himself. He is grateful for every hit he has had. He loves his fans and stays true to them. Therefore, he doesn't try to change things up because he is bored. He never gets bored pleasing the people who put him where he is (besides his own talent). Therefore, I will say, that this live performance of about a 50 year old song, sounds like it did on the record! And, through charity work, he has given so much back to his country. He truly deserved his knighthood. He was not passed off to Charles or lowly William...the Queen herself knighted him. That will show you what a treasure he is to his country.

[@26shedan]

loved the book. His candor and sense of humor are incredible!

[@jndaley]

Ewen Mac Gregor in Mulan Rouge. Totally did this song justice.

[@gwb3738]

When you spoke after the song about your experience during the Lion King, it really hit home. My late wife and I saw the movie, and I too, as a long time Elton John fan, was very disappointed when all the songs were sung by others. We always had a tendency to remain seated at the end of movies as the theater cleared out a little. So as the credits were rolling, the other movie goers were in various stages of departure, some still seated also, some standing up, or moving across the row, or down the stairs, some coming up from the lower section. As "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" started, booming through those speakers, everyone, to a person, froze in place during the entirety of the song. When it finished, it was like a switch was flipped, and the world resumed. It was the most magical experience we ever had in a theater. Still a vivid memory after more than a quarter century.

[@CelestialPopCollectiveOfficial]

Awwwww he wrote this for his BEST friend in the world. He loved that straight boy so much. 💞

[@christinelegate8137]

I remember seeing John perform this song for the first time on Top of The Pops in the UK when I was a kid. I’ve loved him ever since.

Salute to Sir Elton John....one of my all time favorite songs.

[@evabyrum3327]

He played " Candle in the Wind " at Princess Diana's funeral. It was her favorite song by him and he changed some of the lyrics in honor of her for her funeral. Candle in the Wind he wrote originally in tribute to Marilyn Monroe.

I saw Elton John in concert in 1980. Best concert ever. That was a great year. I saw, in concert, that year: Van Halen, Heart, Jackson Brown, Cheap Trick and Kiss.

One of my favorite Elton John songs. Be sure to listen to Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding, Saturday Nights Alright for Fighting.

[@barbarasaracini1271]

Funeral for a Friend, etc. is one of my fav Elton songs!

[@daveowens9849]

Three Dog Night's version of this song appeared first in 1970 on their "It Ain't Easy" album, with Elton John's permission. He was opening for them back then, and would soon outgrow Three Dog Night. Three Dog Night was a big band back in the seventies, and it actually helped launch Elton John's introduction into the U.S. markets. And "Your Song" can be found on most of Three Dog Night's greatest hits compilations. It's a good song. I was 13 when it was released, and I listened to it on a transistor radio when I was delivering newspapers on my paper route. Sting Ray bike, newspapers, and transistor radio. lol.

[@ebenclukey7293]

The iconic song, the grand production...and what amazes this musician the most about the video is that Sir Elton is singing through a Sure SM58 microphone. $99.00. It's been a work horse since it came out in 1966. By the way, the SM58 is just an SM57 with a foam wind guard stuck on the end. The drummer probably has some 57's on his kit. Unbelievable. Congrats to Sure for hitting it on the head and never changing it.

[@GroovingPict]

you know it's an old song if Elton sincerely sang "I dont have much money" at the time :p

[@ericpeterson6766]

and early on so much of it went to pleasing his mom, according to Rocket Man movie, with nothing really doing that. I hope they were exaggerating this for film dramatic purposes.

Elton John music kept me grounded when my Grandmother was dying. It was awful, it was months. We never left her alone. Many nights I spent at her bedside with in my ears. I recommend "The Last Song". Beautiful.

[@Aplumgirl]

Wow does this song relate to me! I've got so many tender memories related to this song. My first husband had eyes that would turn between green and blue and I always thought of this as "our" song. We went to NOLA one year and at Pat O'Briens they had dueling pianist who would take requests and I requested it there for him. I got divorced from him and a couple of years later saw Elton in concert and this was his opening number; I burst into tears with the memories! As years went by, I remarried had a little girl who when she first heard this song closed her eyes and danced (turning in circles) as a 2 year old. So yeah, this is a very precious song to me. Glad you enjoyed it as well

A few years back my best friend got tickets for us to go see Sir Elton John in concert. He is definitely one of my favorites. It just so happens that this is my absolute favorite of his songs. I remember thinking he wasn’t going to perform it that night. He came back out for an encore& sang it. There I was, a grown woman crying bc seeing him perform it hit my heart. I have LOVED his music for as long as I can remember. When I was 6, my daddy & I would sing his song that was out at that time, “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart” by him & KiKi Dee. I would love to see you react to that one. My daddy is no longer with us. But, I can still remember him smiling when I took over the living room dancing and singing with him.

I think the first time I heard this was coming home from college orientation in Indiana with my parents, summer of 1967. Yes, I'm getting old. One of my favorite songs by Elton was one of his lesser known ones, "The Last Song".

[@dianedileonardo6353]

The writer and Elton were never lovers but are still good friends to this day...according to the latest movie. There were rumors in the early days that they were together. Sir because he was knighted by the Queen. I saw Elton with Michael Jackson right across the street. Saw Michael the next night. The energy in the air those two nights were astronomical. Never again will anything compare to these two artists. Just celebrated 29 years sobriety yesterday. If you started at Lion King you've missed so much good music.

Elton John was extremely popular when I was in my late teens and 20's. I have many of his albums. He was one of my favorite singers at that time. I remember lying on my bedroom floor with my big headphones on, listening to his albums over and over. His lyrics always tell a story, and his music is some of the prettiest I have ever heard. "Your Song" is just a classic! Beautiful! ( BTW, Elton is gay, but in his younger years, when this song was written, he struggled with his sexuality and was living with a woman he truly loved. But ultimately he moved on when he realized he was gay. I have read that this sing was written for her.)

Elthon John also wrote a great(almost entirely) instrumental piano song called "Song for Guy"

Elton John sang Don't Let The Sun Go Down at a concert with George Michael and it's so awesome. But now he can't sing it without getting choked up because George Michael has since passed on. And it is just so sad. I cry every time I listen too it now. They are both such wonderful human beings. God really blessed this world with such beauty when He created those two. That's just the way I feel. I do find my feelings confusing about some things. But I'm not confused about how those two men blessed my life with song.

This song will always be meaningful to me. It was popular when my husband was in the VA hospital for cancer surgery. Unfortunately, he succumbed to the cancer a couple of years later. At the time of this song's popularity, I still had hope that my young, strapping Marine who had been the picture of health would beat the cancer, so it doesn't hold sad memories for me -- instead, it holds memories of hopefulness. I always thought this was such a beautiful song and still do, but I like the original (recorded) version better. There comes a point in many artists' careers when they seem bored with performing their song(s) and present a modified version. This was that version. Still a pretty song, but leaving something to be desired for those of us who listened to it on the radio and some who bought the vinyl and played it a zillion times. As I said, I much prefer the original version and know there are others like me who are left longing for that one, so here it is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqildqSrpbuCmsU
