IMO his finest work. I don’t understand how this wasn’t a huge hit. Words and melody are just magical.

I was looking to see if anyone else was going say this. This is one of my favorite EJ songs. I just can’t believe this was never a hit, much less even a single. I love this song. I want it played at my funeral.

It would be difficult to speak about the last 50 years of music without Elton and Bernie being a major part of the conversation.

My absolute favorite! Been a fan since I was 10 years old and I’m 61 now. I’ve been lucky enough to see him in concert 4 times in my lifetime! Got his autograph on my 40 year old album Goodbye Yellow Brick Road for my 50th birthday! His music was my sanctuary when I lost my dad when I was 12 and then when I lost my mom when I was 15. He’s been with me my whole life. I adore him and Bernie! So grateful for them both! Thank you, Elton and Bernie for saving me!❤️✌🏻🤟

Me also, 10 yrs old, but I'm almost 65 now.😉 I've seen him 3 times! Elvis has been with me since I was 4 so I understand when you say that Elton has been with you your whole life. Music has always been there for me and Elton was the second man in my life that has been with me the longest. I lacked motherly nurturing & my mom left my Dad when I was 3.5 yrs. Music always stepped up to love me so I loved it right back! Love Elton & Bernie! Cheers!🌹 Sometimes I wonder if they truly know how many lives they've changed with their music?💜

Look at just one song; Rotten Peaches. The music blended into the lyrics and the drama and the band brought their star dust to the production.

👍 Me too! This particular song was released when I was a teenager, and now, at 70ish, I think Elton’s improved tremendously over the years - vocally and by adding additional 🎹 playing! 👏

Exactly, too young for the Beatles, EJ was it for me. That 5 or 6 album run defined the 70’s.

This song has stood the test of time. It was released the final semester of my senior year in high school. Now, in my one of my senior years of life, it still contains one of my favorite lines in any song ever "And I thank the Lord for the people I have found." If you've lived much of life's toughs times and had help when you needed it from friends or strangers, you know just how important that line can be.

I remember the first time I heard this song, this album. 1972. Oh...such a time. I'm seeing and feeling all of it again so vividly, even though the singer's is older, changed-- and so am I. Music is magic and these clips from the Gershwin Prize are gems. Thank you, PBS!!

I have loved Elton's work since the beginning of his career. I found it pleasurable that Brandi Carlise, another Elton fan and performer of his music was in the audience sing along with him, as were so many others, most who seemed to be of the age to have been following him through the ages like me. The lyrics of Bernie Taupin have been the guidance of many parts of my life.

I actually love the timbre and quality Sir Elton's voice has taken on as he's aged. Love the deeper and richer tone. Hearing him sing the classics in this new "voice" is like a precious gift.
