Elton John
Art, drama and music is peopled by big personalities.
Now and again a larger-than-life character comes along who
even eclipses those immense personalities he shares the world
stage with. Elton John is such a personality. Elton isn't
your sterotypical pop star. When I first watched him performing
Rocket Man on Top of the Pops the road ahead of hit after
hit, of journey from pop star to international mega-star wasn't
apparent to me, but now, with the luxury of hindsight, I can
only applaud a truly brilliant, remarkable talent.
We all have a favourite Elton John song. My
favourite is Your Song, but what about Daniel? That is one
of my all time favourites too! There are just so many to choose
from and each one is exceptional. Elton John is a genuine
icon and, together with Bernie Taupin, he has penned an ageless,
extraordinarily rich library of songs which will be listened
to for generations to come. I would even go as far as to say,
Elton John's immense talent is now etched into the very fabric
of our culture. That is remarkable.
