Since I did Billy Joel last week, it’s only fair that I praise my other favorite piano man, Elton John. I first heard of Elton John (to know he was Elton John) during the eighties. Upon further exploration of his discography, I discovered that I had been enjoying his songs for quite a while, even though I hadn’t known who he was. This was back in the olden times of radio and DJs….
Without further ramblings, here’s my top five mix of Elton John songs. As always, they are in no particular order.
I’m Still Standing
Rollicking upbeat elton.

Goodbye, Yellow Brick Road
The vocal riff of “Oh…oh…oh….” is what sells it.

The One
“All I ever needed was the one……”

Candle in the Wind
His tribute to Marilyn Monroe, and later Princess Diana, still brings a tear to my eye.

Heidi-ho, it’s music Monday and I’m here once again to thrill and wow you with my musical choices. Today’s list comes from my piano lessons as a youth. I began piano lessons at the age of five. I hated them. But then by the time I was in middle school, I’d discovered Billy Joel, and thought that I, too, could be Piano Man. Alas, that did not work out, thankfully, I think, but that hasn’t tarnished my love for Bill. Take a gander at my favorite songs (at least today) from this artist. The list is in no particular order.
