Sir EJ apparently likes the sound as well. Seems pleasantly surprised. A bit of orchestral punch. Interesting, ...this came to me by a friend of a friend, so please don't quote me, but they said the Live performance with full orchestra for this single song, was a 1st try. If true....that rocks!
Of all the rock stars of the 70's, I'd have to say Elton is the best in terms of bringing his amazing songs and entertainment skills right up to the present. Kudos, Elton!
the Philadelphia Freedoms were a World Tennis Team back in the 70's Billy Jean King was on the team and she and Elton were good friends so he wrote this song for her.. well he and Bernie !!! also this song came out as we were gearing up for the Bicentennial :)
@ImSiriusB Lmao you're funny! xD pretending we're in 3rd grade now, aren't we? Because it's quite obvious that his sexual preferences are FAR less important that his musical writing. Which he is actually quite Godly at.
@RealAmericanHero420 Our city can kick the living shit out of whatever city that you are from my friend......i bet you are from that fraud of a city New York.....have you ever been to Philly? The birthplace of the U.S.A??? The most historic city in the United States.......I'm just dying to find out what city you are from......
@RealAmericanHero420 You fucking ignorant ass. Because i am sure you will think it i would like you to know that i am in fact straight and i am not gay. It is because of ignorant people like you that this world is so messed up. I dont agree with people being gay but if that is how they chose to live I dont care. You are a total idiot and prick though if you critisize one of the greatest artists in the world just because of his sexual prference. So i think the proper thing to say is Fuck You
@Ms123412341234 YOU ARE STUPID FOR POSTING THIS INSULT AT THE WRONG PERSON....I DEMAND AN APOLOGY RETARD, LEARN HOW TO READ POSTS IF YOU'RE GONNA WRITE AN INSULT TO THE WRONG PERSON
@RealAmericanHero420 <------This dude has his dad suck on his baby dick while listening to Elton john,fingering his own asshole and wearing a Flyers jersey.
I'd love to know who ACTUALLY wrote this for the orchestra. Any ideas? was it Gu Dudgeon, George Martin or someone? , cos he must have been very good to interpret this as it is. Brilliant.
I'm an African American male from the inner city. And when I was a child...........this song sarinaded me. I LOVE IT!!! I so remember playing as a child in the ghetto while this song would play on the radio. thank you for making this song Elton John
4 July 2011, I'm glad we got our independence all those years ago, but there are no better friends in the world than in Great Britain. Love Elton, love this song. Simply wonderful.
@wesselpinballwizard ....since perhaps they are unfamiliar with the original arrangement which was written too quickly? Not meaning Tempo, ....but if they had taken their time....this could have been the original arrangement. Funny, ...a friend told me she thought This version was a bit (slow)....when it's actually stepped up in tempo by a micro-second, just barely, with french horns, and maybe just a few, violins. LIKE :)
"The song was written by Elton John and Bernie Taupin as a favour to Elton's friend, tennis star Billie Jean King. King was part of the Philadelphia Freedoms tennis team. The song features orchestral arrangements by Gene Page."
Point is not whether Karenengswallows espouses garbage, which I believe he/she does, but simply whether he has the right to do so, or to advocate selling heroin to children, exterminating homosexuals, or Jews, or whomever , having sex with minors, or any other topic he sees fit to speak about. It certainly isn't a waste of people's time if you took the time to read and comment on it.
@Alikah1 you call that freedom of speech, alikah dear? Then you are an idiot. and btw....the scumbag is gone and good riddance. And now we have the likes of you who pretend to be intelligent by wasting peoples time and this thread's space over trash.

To 76juno. I think that he is actually being backed up by musicians from the Royal Academy of Music. Notice how youthful the performers are in the video. But those kids were surely cruising man.
Thank you Elton, for a wonderful 3hr performance last night. I could have easily stayed another 3 hrs.Thanks for Blessing us with your music....many Blessings to you......
Yes I do....I love, love YOU!! I hope you are as happy as you've made billions and trillions while listening to your astounding talent! Thank YOU Sir Elton John!! ;o)
When the song was written it was intended to be performed with full orchestra although for logistical reasons that hasn't happened too often! The musical arrangement was by EJ with Bernie Taupin providing the lyrics. The song was written as a favour to Elton's friend Billi Jean King who was part of the Philadelphia Freedoms Tennis team.
@76juno AMEN to that Eh? the architects of that buildign if they could be here. would be thinking " i didnt think this old house would ever see somethign like this, but me likey"
song might have been about a goofy tennis team but Elton John shoud have hust lied and said it was about Philadelphia, Pa.. USA. it makes much more sense.
@fishfan67 c/o fishfan...hey, good post. But is IS kind friend...."about" Philadelphia, USA, yet not solely about a Sir Elton's great friend on the Philly Freedoms tennis team. It is also a Tribute of sorts. To the Music of Philly. A tribute to Huff, Gamble and Bell and their Band productions - the awesome music of the Spinners and Delfonics - so it's a mixed bag.

I was actually, LUCKY enough to see him(Sir Elton John). in Sault Ste. Marie, Ont. !!!!! How lucky are we??? !! OmG!! Best concertI've ever seen, probably ever WILL see! That's a fact!! He played all the hits nonstop for 3 hours!!!! Who does that/?? Certainly NOT the Sir Elton Johns of the World!!! The whole building sang to every song he sang! I was actually a little embarassed, in case, he thought we , as an audience were trying to "take over"... He IS THE ultim entertainer!

I was actually, LUCKY enough to see him(Sir Elton John). in Sault Ste. Marie, Ont. !!!!! How lucky are we??? !! OmG!! Best concertI've ever seen, probably ever WILL see! That's a fact!! He played all the hits nonstop for 3 hours!!!! Who does that/?? Certainly NOT the Sir Elton Johns of the World!!! The whole building sang to every song he sang! I was actually a little embarassed, in case, he thought we , as an audience were trying to "take over"... He IS THE ultim entertainer!

@yongscheisse idk, i would personally want to be on the same stage as such a legend so they probably would not mind doing that for free
