I have been a fan of Sir Elton John since I bought his first record when it came out. "Saturday Night".
Thanks to his writer and his voice, I had some of the best times and memories of the 70's. Yeah baby, Yeah

@sweetnpeachy1 THE FACT OF ELTON TRYING TO KILL HIMSELF IS NOT TRUE.The Song is about his experience of almost getting married Early in his career, His fiancee wanted him to give up his music to get married, in which he almost did. (as explained in the lyrics.True John Baldry saved his life.BUT he is talking about his career life as a singer / songwriter, ( by talking him into NOT giving up his music career John saved him). This can be verified in part at songfacts website

Not only did Long John Baldry have a hand in saving Elaton's life but Dave Davies of the The Kinks was there and did as well.

@Artifactman1 ..that song makes me sad....but also happy that Elton is still around and making music! He was going to kill himself and called his friend John Baldry who went to him and literally saved Elton's life! This song was written about that very low period of his life and in tribute to Baldry. Elton took the name 'John' from his friend 'Long John Baldry.'
God certainly blessed him with some of the greatest TALENT ever shared!!!!
