The Best of Elton
This is a landmark album for Elton John. It contains many memorable melodies and lyrics from one of rock and roll's most prolific and talented songwriting teams since Lennon and McCartney. Elton shows off his incredible piano abilities and tremendous voice on such varied songs as the gorgeous "Candle in the Wind," and "Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting." Elton John has a way with writing compelling music to fit Bernie Taupin's unique lyrical style. This shows on standouts like the title track, and the infectious "Bennie and the Jets." Captain Fantastic lives up to his title on this LP. And be sure to catch Elton John live if you haven't already, he's even better in concert!
