I had this album a long time ago. Really glad to listen to the song again here on youtube. If you ever get a chance to see him live, do so. The man is a master.
You're right Matty! Look for rare masters. It has the soundtrack plus a number of others.
I had the album and I played it so much it became scratched. Replaced it with the rare masters CD. One of my favorite Elton albums; second only to Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt cowboy.
The elton john machine works because he allows the people surrounding him to be creative on their own: Paul Buckmaster, Caleb Quaye, Dee, Nigel, especially Davey Johnstone and many many others. To work with and for this man must be a true treat: do your job and I'll do mine (is my view of the success). This is a true rags to riches story; "Can I put you on!"

This is a favorite! I think Friends is one of the best works by Elton and Bernie. I didn't discover the Friends until after Piano Player came out and was blown away by the album. Can I Put You On is my favorite, with the title track coming in a close second. Thanks for posting this classic!
I thought forever he was saying "family" instead of "foundry"...til I went to work in a steel-mill and found out what a foundry was...nice place to visit, you wouldn't want to live there..; )
I saw this movie on Offutt AFB Nebraska then went to the PX to buy this soundtrack...THEY HAD IT IN STOCK!!! Can you believe that. Still ne of my favorite love stories filmed in France.
i bought this album in europe early 1970s after i saw the movie, still the best love story ever, great music too. elton john is truly a master with the piano and singing. thanks elton.
Hi Seattlecarnut thanks for all your individual comments on the friends soundtrack vids much apperciated. The friends soundtrack can be found on amazon, sometimes ebay, but it would be more advisable to look out for 'Rare Masters' which was released in 1992, occassionaly you see it in stores but mostly again its better to look online, it has a selection of rare elton tracks plus the entire friends soundtrack.
my gosh I'd forgotten this song. thanks

Quite an unerrated song in my opinion. It should have even been released as a single.

Awesome music! I didn't know that Elton John also did music for movie soundtracks. Is this available on cd?
