Play_List

Elton John" was the singer's first album to be released in North America and the difference with its predecessor "Empty Sky" is palpable. The album opens with "Your Song" a halting ballad, one of the most moving love songs in modern pop history, and marks the beginning of a long-term association with producer Gus Dudgeon and arranger Paul Buckmaster who had previously collaborated on David Bowie's Space Oddity.

The team came up with a spare orchestral sound that surrounds the singer and his piano with dashes of both classical and rock guitar, synthesizers, carefully arranged drums and searing strings. Songs like "Take Me To The Pilot" shows flashes of John's rocking future while "No Shoe Strings On Louise" is Rolling Stones-y country-rock and "Sixty Years On" is haunting and memorable.

More typical is "I Need You To Turn To" which finds lyricist Bernie Taupin in an unusually direct mode and features a beautiful harpsichord melody played by Elton John himself. Nominated for an Album Of The Year Grammy in 1971, the album remains one of the finest titles of the singer-songwriter era and ranks number 468 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the - 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time
