Klassic Rawk Quiz -- Elton John Edition

Oct 14 2018 12:32 AM

Sir Elton is in Michigan this week, and I get to see him next month with my family. Seeing his set list has me thinking about his top 25-selling songs. Can you name them? Some surprises. Usual rules apply.

Two complications: Two songs appear twice. One an adapted version, and the other live with a special guest.

Going with "Candle in the Wind," the original one, not the garbagey one with the changed lyrics.

That’s an interesting one. The source considers that a Lennon song and didn’t include. But it did include another song Elton appears on with several others that I think of as someone else’s song. I think the label even says (artist) and Friends and Elton is one of the friends. He does kind of steal the song.

Re: Klassic Rawk Quiz -- Elton John Edition

Yeah, I was thinking that. Whatever Gets You... is primarily a John Lennon song with Elton somewhere in the background. But I remembered it as being credited equally to both.

I think that was my second album! Alas, Saturday Night must not have been a big single.

But Edgy nails the Dionne and Friends, err, Elton song. It was actually a Burt Bachrach and Carole Bayer Sager song first performed by Rod Stewart. Had no idea.

That's it.

I spent a week of my 13th summer in the Catskills where my two indelible memories were (1) falling breathlessly for Terri Gallagher and (2) "Little Jeannie" playing incessantly over the PA. So Terri is intimately linked to "Little Jeannie" in my head, even though I should really associate her with "Backstreets."

Big time!

he sure is inconsistent. I saw him twice on the "Sleeping with the Past" tour in the late 1980s. The first time was fantastic. Good, long show. Lots of hits. The second time, in Hartford, he mumbled something about the record company not promoting the album, threatening to retire, wandering off the stage and not returning. Houselights came up and that was it. But even in that show he did something he didn't do in the first, a segment of just him and the piano, including "Daniel." It was wonderful.
