♫ Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me ♫

"Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me" is the first single off British musician Elton John's 1974 album Caribou; it was released that year during the latter half of May in Great Britain, and on June 10 in the United States. The song was written by John and his collaborator Bernie Taupin, and produced by Gus Dudgeon.
As successful as the 1974 record had been, it was as a duet with George Michael that "Don't Let The Sun Go Down on Me" had its greatest success. Recorded live at a concert at Wembley Stadium, London on March 25, 1991 when Elton John was a surprise guest of George Michael, the duet became a massive hit on both sides of the Atlantic. It was released later that year and reached number one on the UK singles chart for two weeks in December 1991 and a single week on the Billboard Hot 100 in February 1992. The song was the only #1 single of the modern era to be recorded at an outdoors venue.
The footage used for the music video of the song was not taken from the same concert. "The video was actually shot over several days," confirms Michael Pagnotta, George's publicist. "It was shot in an airline hanger in Burbank where George had been rehearsing; Elton came in for a night and they ran through the song a couple times. Then the song was filmed in its entirety live in Chicago in the middle of October as part of that 'Cover to Cover' tour, and when Elton came out from the wings, that place went crazy."
The proceeds from the single were divided among 10 different charities for children, AIDS and education.

Hi there...i think he/she agrees with you, with all of us..if you see his/her channel you will see that he/she likes George..so i think his comment was in ironical sense..i mean..in the sense "Why are you asking why is so good? We know that."..you know in that sense and not in an offence way...cause if it wasnt he/she hadnt videos of George in his favorites.

Dont worry about that,

Jo
