@mate6mty Correction: the song -- words and music -- is by Lesley Duncan. It's one of the very few songs Elton John recorded that wasn't written or co-written by or for him. Lesley Duncan first recorded it as the b-side of a single in 1969; she re-recorded it for her first album Sing Children Sing in 1971, the same year EJ did a cover version of it (duetting with her) on Tumbleweed Connection. There's also a live version of them singing it at the Royal Festival Hall, London in 1974.
It was a great show. Thanks for posting the video. Do you have Daniel from this performance? At the show that night, it made my uncle cry and I would love to share it with him again. Thank you!
if someone would have told me that 19 years ago, elton john and neil young would be together with sammy hagar and james taylor, i would say you were smoking some very good stuff. It was true. They are raising money for the Bridge School. What a pull to get support for the school. Go online to see about the Bridge School.
Its too bad Elron never performs this. beautiful song..on TV...this is the only existing video besides the one from his 1976 BBC convert where the camera shots are awful.....

Elton really needs to dig into his back catalogue more often!

@chenlung1 Technically this is not an Elton/Bernie song. Leslie Duncan wrote the song but she and Elton recorded it on Tumbleweed Connection.
