Do you like Elton John?

My favorite song of his is "I guess thats why they call it the blues". It is always surprising when someone makes a song about something that isn't about relationships and even more that it is a good song.

To me, anything Elton John touches is gold.

Not a big fan, this is one of the few that I do like. My favorites are
Funeral for a friend and Tiny Dancer.
Also saw him in concert a couple times wasnt my cup of tea but luckily he toured with Billy Joel who rocked the place.

@HairbrushDiva yes you are correct that is who it was about originally but i thnk it was refashioned in tribute after the untimely death of princess diana

A lot of his stuff, especially his later work. His voice matured with a power and tone uncommon.

Beautiful song, adapted for Diana's funeral, performed at Westminister Abbey

Yes!

I love it and did for many years before Princess Diana's tribute. I love that version too.

I like Elton John he has some very good songs especaily this one.

Yes. He has a lot of great songs.

I sure do... such a talented singer.

I do. He's pretty incredible.

he has some catchy songs

He is very good

Really like n admire him
He's truly a revolutionary in his field
Also I love lady Diana
The version he made for her funeral feels very personal
They were good friends too

I always liked this one, but hearing the Diana version was supremely moving. I remember hearing the CNN anchor saying "I'm pretty sure that the song Elton John just played will soon be the #1 song all around the world!" He was right.

I don't know if you caught this - a discussion with Bernie Taupin, who of course was Elton John's songwriting partner

An old fat gay bloke plonking away on a piano .....revolutionary indeed 😁

It's 1 of his old albums but it was huge in $$$$$$$ for him
