I am also one of the original Elton John freaks. I first heard his music around 1972. I was about 14 years old. Everyone was buying 8 track tapes at the time. A friend purchased a cassette player and we listened to a recording of crocodile rock. I became an instant fan .I joined the RCA music club. I bought my first Elton albums on 8 track because I was sure that the new "cassettes' would be less durable !!!
Pure Genius! Bernie and Elton, how wonderful life is while you're in the world! Thank you for all the beautiful music and inspiration you've given to me personally and to the world.
I am now 48 years old and I remember seeing this interview special on television in its first airing. I can't remember which network featured it, ABC, CBS, or NBC, but I do remember demanding silence in the house so I could take in every word. I was definitely one of the original Elton John freaks. I used to live and breath Elton and Bernie. I had forgotten about this interview special. Wow, it takes me back.
I love his wife's blue, platform boots at 0:57. She even has her name "Maxine" printed on the sides.

Bernie Taupin: perhaps the last true genius wordsmith in the history of pop music.
All glory and honour is yours, almighty Bernie Taupin.
