Elton John was part of a friends intervention to pull Robert Downey Jr away from substance abuse and the downward spiral it was making of his life. The intervention worked. Turned around RDJ completely. We all need good friends in this life!

Havenā€™t found the recording that I heard on tape in the 70s or 80s, which sounded just lovely, but this sounds as good I think. Kiri Te Kanawa has a softer lower tone to her voice than others.

It seems that doing a cover required a lot of energy! https://youtu.be/eGcJfSXLg-g

I normally bar videos in which pianists wear unnecessary hats, but this is a good song

If you like energetic :sunglasses:
Christian Bale and Robert Leonard can really dance.

Really enjoying this album

Watch and listen to the Youtube version with the lyricsā€¦

Listening to those tracks reminded me of this and took me straight back to the early 90ā€™s which now seems like a world away
