Elton John has been writing (and co-writing with long-time collaborator Berne Taupin) beautiful and/or energetic pop songs since the late 1960s. He was supposed to be doing his retirement tour in 2020, but the Covid-19 bullshit put a stop to it. John didn't even get to finish the very first concert of the tour, as he lost his voice due to what was diagnosed as walking pneumonia.
John has written and performed some of our all-time favorite songs here at Shades of Gray, including "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road", "Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding", "Candle in the Wind", "Rocket Man", and "I'm Still Standing". To get your week off to a good start, we bring you John straight from 1970 and the original video for "Your Song".
