In terms of sales and lasting popularity, Elton John was
the biggest pop superstar of the early '70s. Initially
marketed as a singer/songwriter, John soon revealed he
could craft Beatlesque pop and pound out rockers with equal
aplomb. He could dip into soul, disco and country, as well
as classic pop balladry and even progressive rock. His
versatility, combined with his effortless melodic skills,
dynamic charisma and flamboyant stage shows made him the
most popular recording artist of the '70s. Unlike many pop
stars, John was able to sustain his popularity, charting a
Top 40 single every single year from 1970 to 1996.
During that time, he had temporary slumps in creativity and
sales, as he fell out of favor with c More...
Review about Elton John A great musician | Reviewer: Janet
------ About artist/band Elton John
I have always admired Elton John and Bernie Taupin.They together have put out some of the most remarkable songs,ones that a true lover of music and talent will always remember.As for his personal life it should not change anybody's thoughts of his talent with music.Some of the best musicians have been gay like Freddie mercury(Queen) or Liberace.This man is happy and what brings him that, is his business.His music makes the people happy.This wonderful man has given more to charity and aids research then most are aware of.He wrote a song for his good friend the late Princess Diana and stayed with Ryan White until his last breathe.He also gave the boys family support and sang at his funeral.That is just a few of the many kind and wonderful things this wonderful man has done.God bless you Elton John.You are admired for so much on top of being the greatest piano player and singer around.Keep up the good work.
Elton John is NOT the original Captain Fantastic I am. ! | Reviewer: REALCAPTAINFANTASTIC
------ About the song Captain Fantastic performed by Elton John
I created Captain Fantastic and the Wonerboys in Australia in 1973. IT is inconceivable that someone who was already famous and wealthy would even think of using another talents name. but that is exactly what happened. WE were using this name since early 1973, EJ's CF & the brown dirt cowboy was released in 75 as was the piball machine. This was a direct violation of copyright and intellectual property protection and as the real Captain Fantastic seen by milliomns Worldwide and loved by kids everywhere I fully intend to expose these facts. ! We are still performing Worldwide as Captain Fantatsic, live and on radio and television. !
Captain Fantastic,
Beverly HIlls.

------ About the song Friends performed by Elton John
I graduated high school in 1974. Friends is our class song. Yes, the lyrics are what it is all about some 35 years later. Tonight, I am attending my 35th Class Reunion--"If your friends are there then everything's all right"

hone his craft and his talent is there to hear.

Skyline Pigeon is the best! | Reviewer: Susan
------ About the song Skyline Pigeon performed by Elton John
For me, "Skyline Pigeon" is the very best Elton John song, ever! It means so very much to me, on so many levels. I lost a daughter (who died needlessly and tragically at the age of 21). It reminds me of how fleeting and brief life is.
It's the song I want played when I die (and my husband and grandson know this) after I'm cremated. It's just incredibly touching and personal - and the perfect example of how a song, a "gift" by an artist can mean so much to us "common folk." Thank you, Elton!
Haunting piece of music | Reviewer: Jamie M
------ About the song Ticking performed by Elton John
I first heard this song when Caribou came out, I was very young as i got older I got the content of the song. It is very disturbing and sad, but it is a great piece of work by Bernie and Elton. You know sometimes people that feel that they have nothing and they just snap, I;m not a very religious person but all I can say is that sometimes all you need is God or a higher power..I just wish the violence in the world would just stop, like I said it is just a wish...
I worked at the studio where loads of " cover " versions were recorded in the late ' 60's and early ' 70's.........the girl singer duetting with Elton John on United We Stand was Kay Garner, who later sang backing voclas on Take Me To The pilot etc etc etc...and the singer with Elton on Young Gifted and Black & Good Morning Freedom was Clare Torry who later went on to sing Great Gig in the Sky .................
The REAL Captain Fantastic.....a Superhero family. ! | Reviewer: Captain fantastic
------ About the song Captain Fantastic performed by Elton John
Captain Fantastic and the Wonderboys was and still is a family comic, live and tv act first launched in Australia in the early seventies. Whoever used the name thereafter violated the copyright of the rightful owners, the fact that it has never reached legal litigation doesn't validate the wrongful use of the name.
hi, this song was great and i like it and its very meaningful to me.... its gonna be perfct when i read the lyrics it really hits me a lot. it means to me letting someone go and give them a freedom to love somebody because if you love someone you should give freedom and make sacrifice for him i should not be selfish
thanks a lot
more power...

Brings a lump to my throat everytime I hear it | Reviewer: Jeffrey from Liverpool, NY
------ About the song Friends performed by Elton John
I recently pulled this album out of the closet and burned it on a CD. This music is timeless. I actually caught the movie with my girlfriend back in 1973. It was bad but didn't detract from this great album. Great memories from a time when Elton & Bernie were at their best.
I lived that album when it came out in the 70's | Reviewer: Sharon Koenig
------ About the album The Captain And The Kid performed by Elton John
My sister who was 42 when she passed away was a major Elton John fan. The Summer that album came out that is all I heard playing through the house. She had all his albums but that one always left something with me. It was about his early life and how he came through it. I don't remember how many copies Patti bought of that album, but it was close to 11. She also loved the song The yellow brick Road which she wanted played at her graveside. He had a great influence over her life for those days I thank him.
Just A Masterpiece | Reviewer: Sarah
------ About the song Your Song performed by Elton John
This is my favourite song ever. It's pure poetry, it's a wonderful poem for the one you love. Probably "Your Song" will be played for my wedding day! Simple but deep lyrics that just sum up in a great way all of the love a person can feel. Amazing.
I know the meaning... | Reviewer: JoeyBaggadonuts
------ About the song Skyline Pigeon performed by Elton John
This song is his coming out song.
"But most of all please free me
From this aching metal ring
And open out this cage towards the sun"
The aching metal ring is symbolizing the hetero image he is portraying to the public. All he really wants to do is come out of the closet and be free; be himself.

------ About the song Grimsby performed by Elton John
I live near Grimsby, and when i heard this i laughed for about 10 minutes. Absolutely HILARIOUS. Where i am, we take the mick out of Grimsby for being "fishy". Just had to find the lyrics... so funny...
wasn't an Etta fan until I heard Sugar on the Floor in 1999. | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Sugar On The Floor performed by Elton John
Every one has that one song (or two) that speaks exactly what their heart is feeling. When I first heard 'Sugar on the Floor" I was driving through Mobile, Alabama just searching through the local blues station. I only caught the last few lines of lyric, but it was enough to bring me close to tears. I was hooked. I didn't know who sang it or even the title...just that i was something about "sugar". It's a Kiki Dee and Elton song for sure, but Etta she gives it wings. You can feel the emotion and passion. Sugar on the Floor ranks right up there with my favorite song of all, "Adore" by Prince.
I've played both of these songs once or more a week for the past 10 years.
Every time I play Sugar on the Floor for someone who never heard it before, its like they been touch by an Angel...they always want me to play over again and again.
Did not receive the attention it deserves | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the album The Captain And The Kid performed by Elton John
This albumn is terrific. Only one song I would cut. The track "Across the river Thames" should have been included as it is very good. Good lyrics from Bernie and great melodies from Elton. Finally some rock out of the old man. The slower sonds are good this time, not sappy, except for The Bridge.

------ About the song Captain Fantastic performed by Elton John
This is the first album of many, including cd's, that I have purchased of Elton's music. He is truly an artist that has kept me interested through the different phases of his career. His songs touch my soul at times.
review song inspirational | Reviewer: rahul
------ About the song The Measure Of A Man performed by Elton John
well song is definitely inspirational in the sense that it makes you think again and again when you seem troubled with what you achieved .it makes you believe there is more potential in you and you can do better achieve better .You have not fought that last round yet ..If you believe you can give yourself one more chance rather take one more chance to change things around you even though all dreams have shattered and you are broken and have to start again .If you believe you can take more and fight more you always have that last round waiting for you ...

------ About the song Ticking performed by Elton John
I think of this song, I realize the genius of both Elton John and Bernie Taupin. I marvel at the intensity of the music which seems to beat out the path the words have taken. I am overwhelmed. Thank you for sharing the lyrics. Thank you Elton and Bernie for giving us this wonderful piece of work which will live on forever in time.
