Elton john and Leon russel - Eight hundred dollar shoes (HQ)

Frankly, this is an example of a Flawless Album, to me. This song especially speaks to me, but I love each and every track.

This is my dog Bryn's favourite song to sing to

[nathangelaray]

so do love this union all the time.

I love how we all have different favorites off of "The Union". As for me, it depends on the day. This is a wonderful ode to Leon - I suspect it embarasses him but the lyrics are spot on from that time.

Between This Song,Hey Ahab,The Best Part Of The Day And Mandalay Again Are The Best Songs Off The "Union" Hands Down

[BohemianConspiracy]

Good Song!

Honestly 1975 was Elton last great year ....but it seems that since 2 or 3 years Elton John came back to his old 70s sound ...it's really good news for people who love the sound of that decade (i mean until the mid 70s...i don't mean disco)

...I discovered seriously Leon Russell 3 months ago...in his music we can hear all the old seeds and mixed origins of the american music... it's really great , above all the early 70s Leon Russell...

Isn't that "I've seen that movie too"?

[DavelovesRealMusic]

@sloanienz No--he a ctually seems to have "borrowed" the melody from "Friends Never Say Goodbye" too similiar.

[kabalscorpion]

Sounds too much like candle in the wind and your song with other recycled. I know, i know, artists recycle their own material all the time, but Elton is one of the rare few artists who can totally redefine their style decade after decade.

To go back to 70's roots has mixed feelings from me.

[mizofan]

@kabalscorpion Oh but i think they've come up with something fresh and yet timeless. It has deep roots yet exciting, a real marvel. I'm so in love with this album, from beginning to end, on the deluxe version too

[nathangelaray]

@mizofan i agree

[mizofan]

There are so many great songs on this album, and it fits together great; best since mid 70s
