When George Michael is singing this song, and he gets to the part 'ladies and gentlemen, Mr Elton John' to this day I still get goosebumps!! Those people at that concert were so lucky to experience that, and I'm jealous of every one of them. And it's a killer version of this song.

"Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding"-- an absolute masterpiece; "Take Me to the Pilot"--one of his early gems that is seemingly always ignored among his great songs.; "Get Up and Dance"--lives up to its title; his rendition from his 1980 concert in Central Park is him at his best in a live format and shows him at his wackiest--he does the song in a Donald Duck outfit.😂

Fun fact. During the 1970s when Dusty Springfield was going through a rough time personally and professionally, she often sang back-up on Elton's songs under the pseudonym, "Gladys Thong". She used this name in the 1960s as well. Dusty, Cat Stevens, and Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys were the original backup singers on this song but it didn't work out so Toni Tennille (of Captain & Tennille fame), and Carl Wilson and Bruce Johnston of the Beach Boys ended up singing on it.

@brendahhstiles9992 Год назад

Thanks for the fun fact...did not know any of this🤷🏼‍♀️

@kellyreiterman Год назад

@@brendahhstiles9992 My pleasure. I know Dusty sang background on "The Bitch is Back" and she was Elton's original choice to sing "Don't Go Breakin' My Heart" but she was not in a good place. Her friend and former back-up singer, Kiki Dee, stepped in and the rest is history. I love Kiki but I would have loved to have heard Dusty doing that song with Elton.

We saw Elton John at dodger stadium in 1977. When the sun was going down he sang Don't let the sun go down on me. Tickets to see him were, wait for it, $10.00 per person. Suggest his song Funeral for a friend from Goodbye yellow brick road and madman across the water.

vinyl has made a massive comeback, a really decent record player isn`t all that expensive these days, get one and start buying all the albums you love on vinyl again, that feeling can be easily rediscovered... I did it a few years ago and now have over 150 albums I loved as a kid and teen on vinyl...

@5128mike Год назад

I used to lie on my bedroom floor directly in front of my 2ft high solid wood speakers blasting this song. My dad (RIP) played a grand piano in our living room and I would lie under it while he played, so I've always had a heart for piano music. Elton was one of his and my favorites. My dad ever wore glasses and went through a "glasses" phase like Elton did back in the 70's. So much good music came out of that genre! ❤

@craiggillett5985 Год назад

I used to stand with my mom, ( RIP)we each had a hairbrush make-believe microphone, and would sing ( badly) our hearts out to this. I think this may have been the vinyl I learnt how to use the stereo on. Carefully placing the record on the player, gently lowering that bar thing, carefully pulling the lever forward to activate the stylus… AHHHH memories of the twentieth century

There are those songs that can touch you and bring you back to these special moments in time and this song being one of them. Elton's songs really touch your soul. It's so beautiful that you could share times together listening to it. I feel your mom is s still watching over you and listening to this song with you. I want to bring out that you have an excellent way of describing things very eloquently. I felt as if I went back in time and was right there with you. Now every time I hear this song I will think of you and your mom and that is so beautiful. Take care ❤️

@mikeguerrero72 Год назад

I used to put a candle in front of a speaker and watch it as the song play. A little touch of 'Skunk' and seeing the flame dance was wow. I noticed that sometimes when violins hit different notes and held them the flame would quit dancing and stand up really tall. Well, the Skunk didn't hurt either. The other thing was getting that flimsy plastic off of clothes from the cleaners. You twist it kind of tight then put a simple knot every 8 inches or so. Tape it to the ceiling and light the bottom with a bowl of water under it. The visual and sounds are very cool. Gotta be at night in a dark room.

@sisterdebmac Год назад

@halweiss8671 Год назад

I heard it before it’s official release on one of the LA AM radio stations. They had somehow gotten ahold of a tape recording of it. I still remember driving down the 55 fwy in Santa Ana when it came on. I loved it the first time, and every other time, I’ve heard it.

Jay & Amber, I just wanted to chime in and tell you that I agree with so many of the people who commented about the live duet version that George Michael & Elton John did of this song: if you loved the original studio version, you will ABSOLUTELY LOVE the live version! You can almost feel the electricity that must have been in the air that night (The audience had NO IDEA that Sir Elton was even THERE!) and I think the live version is about 5 times more powerful! You guys should DEFINITELY do a reaction to it!!!!

This has and will always be my favourite song. As soon as I hear that first note, there is a shiver that runs through me and then the tears. And why, every single time? You would think by now I would be immune to it, but no. To me, is one of the most gut wrenching songs ever written. Bernie's lyrics, Elton's music - no duo, imo, could ever tap into the genius of these two men. 💞 ✌❤

The thing most people miss about Elton John is his soulfulness. And the way his songs build and build to a crescendo. He is the GOAT for sure.

I have always wondered why Sir Elton John sang "discard" with such a rhotic pronunciation. Having a naturally non-rhotic accent usually gives Brits an advantage in singing well.

@williamneedham3117 Год назад

You really should check out Funeral for a friend/ Love lies bleeding or Burn down the Mission by Sir Elton! Both are a mix of upbeat and slow in the same songs! You’ll love them!

Elton John has so much talent that he makes a perfect song seem easy. I don’t think anyone can match him.

@miahill4050 Год назад

Totally agree, the version with George Michael, a must listen to.

@mariannesigley9086 Год назад

Yes this should definitely be watched live. Much better. There is also one done that’s great with George Michal, must watch. George does a cover of it at his concert and Elton joins him in it. Fantastic 🎉

This has to be one of my all time favorites! In my top 10 for real!

"Ladies and gentlemen, Sir Elton John!"

This being his song is excellent, but years later George Michael released this song with Elton singing on it with him and it is the best version you have ever heard. You should listen to that one as well. Plus if you liked this, you should listen to one of his most famous songs, "Candle In The Wind". The original is a tribute to Marylin Monroe and then he re-released it when Princess Di was killed in the car accident as a tribute to her, which I like even better.

For me the first ten years (1970 until 1980) of Elton John's career were genius and where his greatest songs are ..

@keithjones7390 Год назад

Absolutely, Elton produced his best work in the 70's, especially the first half, Madman Across the Water is my favourite.

This is my absolute favorite Elton John song. Thanks for reacting to it, and I am glad you loved it.

@VicMikesvideodiary Год назад

I'd love to see and hear you guys react to his song The One. I personally think it's his best. Once I start playing it it goes on repeat for several plays.

I was 14 in 1975 when my older sister gave me his Greatest hits album for Christmas and I loved Elton John and his band from them on This song especially and Nigel Olssons drumming!

My Favourite Elton And Bernie Song Way Back in 1974 I WAS 15 When This Was Released. Love You Two.

@kpas22105 Год назад

Could be my favorite Elton John song, just love the build up and every single instrument is so spot on and powerful in the end.

Superior pianist! Beautiful voice! Outstanding song writer! Now ther’s a triple threat❤

True though Bernie Taupin writes the songs not Elton

@danielb2993 Год назад

"Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding" It will blow you away.

@debraschiro6234 Год назад

I love all of Elton John's music my favorite one Tiny Dancer it should be your next one here

@kentharris3878 Год назад

I have an indelable memory of sitting in the backseat while riding around with friends and just reveling in this song. I was really down for some reason and this song gave all of the emotions I needed to feel...lonely, unloved, depressed...whether I actually had any reason to feel those things or not, we all go through it. Hearing this song at that time was like a 4 minute therapy session...lol. I've held a special place in my heart for this song ever since. Elton's ballads like "Rocket Man," "Someone Saved My Life Tonight," "Your Song," "Daniel" and others sort of defined the era, in many ways. Loved your reaction. Keep it up!

I couldn't agree more 👍 Right there with you.

@tenebrisrex333 Год назад

Do not even waste time folks Get right to Sir Elton John's collaboration with the late great George Michael of Wham covering this song. Watch the video it's worth it 1000%! And while you're at it, if you want something truly rocking by Sir Elton, watch his cover of Pinball Wizard in the movie Tommy, by The Who... Yep... Powerful.

@jillollipop2978 10 месяцев назад

You must watch Elton's performance of Burn Down the Mission, Live at the Royal Opera House. The whole concert is crazy good, but this piece takes you to church. Burn it down!

@kellimartin2454 Год назад

MUST WATCH... live performance of this song w/ Elton John and George Michael.

@joannevincent2035 Год назад

Elton John's magnetism and supreme talent are more evident here than anywhere else.

@urikorsikov843 Год назад

This will always be the perfect version of this song, but I also loved the version that Roger Daltrey (from The Who) did for the movie The Lost Boys. This song is simply epic.

As Kelly R. pointed out, the Harmony Vocals are incredible with Wilson, Johnston (Beach Boys) and Hinsche (Occassional Beach Boy and Dino, Desi And Billy) with Toni Tennille. Vocal Arrangement by Johnston and The Captain!
