| | Such loathsome revisiting and repositioning of the track aside – it is one of Elton’s most sincere and heartfelt declarations of love in his entire catalogue – Bernie’s lyrics paying homage to his ‘Blue jean baby’, listening to the band and singing the words of the songs to herself. | | | elton john : the death and rebirth of a superstar | | | It is one of the peaks of Elton’s career – a track which ends with the musical representation of the locomotive of the cover trailing off into the distance – the tempo galloping madly, as Elton implores us to ‘burn down the mission’. |

| | Rock and Roll -- ELTON JOHN |
| | John's 1995 album Made In England continued his comeback, peaking at number three on the UK charts and number 13 in the US; in America, the album went platinum. | | | Throughout the mid-'70s, John's concerts were enormously popular, as were his singles and albums, and he continued to record and perform at a rapid pace until 1976. | | | For his next project, John reunited with Lion King collaborator Tim Rice to write songs for Disney's Broadway musical adaptation of the story of Aida; an album of their efforts featuring a who's-who of contemporary pop musicians was released in early 1999, going gold by the end of the year. |

| | Elton John |
| | Elton was a heavily sought-after session player between 1968 and 1970, graduating from backing vocalist and keyboard player to lead singer on a series of quickie cover versions that were recorded for Top 40 LP compilation discs - back then, record companies figured it was cheaper to re-record than license. | | | Olsson and Murray's backup vocals are tinny and unimaginative, Elton's melodies are often slight, and Taupin's lyrics are sub-par. | | | Meanwhile, John's vocals are often perfunctory: he might as well not have been on "Are You Ready For Love" at all, as it's really a showcase for the Spinners. |

| | Amazon.com: Honky Chateau [ORIGINAL RECORDING REISSUED] [ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED]: Music |
| | This was the album that first revealed John as a pure-pop craftsman, and he's all over the musical map on this set, moving from country-ish rock to blues-based rockers. | | | Although Elton had only a scant few hits at this point(Your Song, Friends, and Levon), this track was his first real smash hit, although "Your Song" in 1970 was a top ten hit as well. | | | While many critics and fans cite Elton's 1973 album "Don't Shoot Me I'm Only The Piano Player" as the emergence of the "new and glitzy pop Elton", This 1972 release, while far more tame and less extravagant, was the first release of Elton's to show the turning of the tide. |
