Yesterday, 50 years ago, the Double LP 'Goodbye Yellow Brick Road' by Elton John was released.
If you know the album then the track that ends side two "I've Seen That Movie Too" will be familiar. Not being familiar I only heard this song a few months ago for the first time.
I then found this neat video that contains not just the lyrics and an assortment of wacky images of Elton John but name checks his long-time band members: Nigel Olsson - drums; Davey Johnstone - guitar (cued to the solo near the end) and Dee Murray on bass.
Roll the cameras >
Surely not just a coincidence, I see that BBC4 has an evening of Elton John showing on tv tonight. Described amusingly by last weekend's Times newspaper "as a look back at how a portly piano man from Pinner went stratospheric." 😁
