Happy Birthday Bernie Taupin, born this day 22nd May in 1950

Elton John's songwriting partner since 1967. They met up through an advertisement in the music press. 'Your Song' was the first time most of us had heard of either of them. In January, 1971, it entered the singles chart, topping out at No. 4 and reviving interest in Elton John's eponymous host album, released the previous year and propelling it right up the album charts, where it got to No. 5. The rest, as they say, is history. Happy birthday Bernie! 🎂🎊🎈
