Sanity Sunday Musical Break- Elton John

by Nomad

This week's musical sanity break is dedicated to singer, composer and pianist Elton John, born Reginald Kenneth Dwight. As his Wikipedia biography notes:

He has worked with lyricist Bernie Taupin as his songwriting partner since 1967; they have collaborated on more than 30 albums. John has sold more than 300 million records, making him one of the best-selling music artists in the world. He has more than fifty Top 40 hits, including seven consecutive number one albums in the U.S., 58 Billboard Top 40 singles, 27 Top 10, four which reached number two and nine which reached number one.

That's quite a legacy for any artist.  Since September the 71-year-old John has decided to retire with a farewell tour, consisting of more than 300 concerts worldwide.

I am particularly fond of his early work and so many of my life experiences connected with his music. Hope you enjoy the selection.

The playlist consists of:

1.   Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
2.  Crocodile Rock 
3.  Levon 
4.  Rocket Man 
5.  Someone Saved My Life Tonight 
6.  Sorry Seems to be The Hardest Word 
7.  Tiny Dancer 
8.  Bennie and the Jets 
9.   Daniel 
10.  Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me 
11.  Your Song  

Have a wonderful Sunday, my friends.
