Artist Biography - Elton John
Elton John was born in Pinner England on March 25, 1947 under the birth name Reginald Dwight. He is considered by many as one of the most flamboyant and commercially successful recording artists of the last 30 years. Elton achieved his peak in the 70s with his sidekick with whom he collaborated on several occasions, Bernie Taupin. However, Elton has been able to do what many artists have never done, achieve a Top 40 single in each year from 1970-1996. Some of his most well known hit songs are "Your Song," "Rocket Man," "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road," and "Don't Let the Sun Go Down On Me."
At the mere age of 11, Elton John won a scholarship to study music at the Royal Academy of Music. After only six years of school, Elton John decided it was time to hit it big. He spent most of the 60s going from band to band before ending up at Liberty Records and meeting his eventual tag team partner Bernie Taupin. Shortly thereafter, Reginald Dwight officially became Elton John and as of today Sir Elton John. Bernie would write the lyrics for various songs and without question Elton John would construct the music, at times it would only take him a mere 30 minutes! Elton's hard work finally paid off with his first top ten single "Your Song" in late 1970. Soon after, it was hit after hit in the 70s for Elton. During his infamous 1970s streak of hits, Elton John collaborated with the great and influential Beatle, John Lennon. In 1974, Elton co-wrote John Lennon's comeback number one single "Whatever Gets You Through the Night." On Thanksgiving Day in 1974, John Lennon and Elton John appeared on stage together for the first time. Ironically, this was the last time John Lennon would ever perform live on stage.

 Elton John continued to rise in notoriety by performing in front of crowds as large as 100,000 in Los Angeles and he continued to sell a large amount of Elton tickets. He even appeared in the movie Tommy and even ended up on the cover of Time Magazine (Time.com). Elton John continued to do what no other had done before; he had the first album ever to debut at number 1, Captain Fantastic, in 1975. Elton did not stop there; he also was the first western artist to ever tour the U.S.S.R. in its peak of Communism. Elton John tickets were selling as fast as his albums were leaving the store shelves. Elton John had a minor tumble in the early 80s after he discontinued working with Bernie Taupin. However, they eventually reunited and by 1988 Elton John performed a record 5 straight concert dates at the world renowned Madison Square Garden in New York City. In the 1990s, Elton continued to perform and record and his fans continued to support him. He collaborated with Tim Rice for the popular Disney film, The Lion King. The Lion King soundtrack was hailed by critics because of tracks specifically from Elton John.
Elton John had done it all by this time with numerous Grammy awards and even Academy Awards for his songs. He was even inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994. Elton continued strong through the late 1990s and he was shocked, as was the world, when his close good friend and confidant Princess Diana of Wales tragically passed away in 1997. Elton John was crushed; however he honored the memory of the late Princess Diana by performing a rewritten version of his smash hit "Candle in the Wind" which once again was a smash hit but in record proportions. The re-released version became the first single to dethrone Bing Crosby's "White Christmas" in sales worldwide.
After the new millennium passed, Elton and Billy Joel collaborated on an extremely successful tour. They performed separately and together while millions watched in awe.
Elton John continued to be at work with such projects such as his collaboration with Tim Rice in the extremely entertaining and popular Broadway show, Aida.
