biography:

One of the show-business legends alive, Elton John, was born in English town of Pinner and was named at birth as Reginald Kenneth Dwight
The little genius started to play the piano at the age of three
He witnessed the divorce of his parents, but his stepfather managed to become a close friend of the gifted boy
He lived and studied in the native town until he was 15, working as a part-time musician in local pubs, but then left Pinner to make a career in business
In 1964, he organized the Bluesology band
It reached moderate success during its short existence
After the group disbanded, Dwight decided to start the solo activity
Looking for a job, he came to the Liberty Records following their advertisement and got Bernie Taupin as a partner - who could expect, it was the beginning of
their brilliant long-time cooperation
They have produced handfuls of hits for various musicians during several decades
However, the first release of Elton John himself (Dwight's scenic pseudonym) - Empty Sky of 1969 - was mainly unnoticed
His sophomore attempt Elton John saw light in 1970 and featured the material that became classical for the singer for many years ahead - thrilling ballads
and rock compositions with gospel elements

 

The concert record Tumbleweed Connection followed that disc the same year
John's eccentric image, unusual glasses and manner of piano playing made musical critics furious, but earned the approval of such scene colleagues as Bob Dylan
and Quincy Jones
Elton entered the history of the 70's as the introducer of piano rock and performer of such rock hits as Rocket Man (Honky Chateau), Crocodile Rock and Daniel
(both from the sparkling disc Don't Shoot Me I'm Just A Piano Player) and eternal composition Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
In the beginning of the 70's, he officially changed his name for Elton Hercules John
He co-worked with such stars as The Who and The Beatles
However, after John revealed his bisexuality, the public accepted this fact sharply and the musician temporarily went on a hiatus
He came back with the album A Single Man, but it was perceived coldly
Nevertheless, he reunited with Taupin on the disc 21 AT 33 and came back on the top of the charts with the single Little Jeannie
In the middle of the 80's, John lost the voice during touring and had to undergo the surgery on his throat
Years of drug and alcohol abuse also pelf their trail
However, the artist created brilliant albums with the unprecedented consistency and talent

 

Elton entered the 90's after drastic physical and inner changes - he beat his bad habits in the clinics and recovered after a long depression
He also became the charity worker and made the fund of struggle with AIDS
The soundtrack to the Lion King cartoon with the rock ballad Can you Feel The Love Tonight as the clue composition can be considered as the most noticeable input
of Elton John into the music of the 90's
In 1994, he was inducted into the Hall Of Rock And Roll Fame and was knighted a year later
In 1997, his tribute to tragically deceased Princess Diana Candle In The Wind 1997 became the fastest - and biggest - selling song ever
Released in 2001, Songs From The West Coast with the piercing lead single This Train Don't Stop There Anymore was thought to be Elton's final album
However, in 2004 Peachtree Road became its follow-up
After the unhappy marriage of the 80's, he made public his homosexuality and married his partner David Furnish in 2005
In 2006, the autobiographic album The Captain & The Kid was released, noticeable for its smash hit The Bridge
Later the same year, Elton John issued the collection of his eternal songs Rocket Man: The Definitive Hits
The very interesting album titled The Union created by Elton John and Leon Russell was released in 2010
This studio attempt was critically acclaimed and debuted at the third position in Billboard 200, which is a great proof of its highest level
There is no doubt that The Union will please the singer’s old fans and those who are just going to get acquainted with his creativity
