Favourite singer. Favourite song.

I'm thinking this is more like between 1970 and '72 as Elton is still singing much like he does in the years before the Don't Shoot me album

awsome song I have always loved elton John since I was a little girl. By the way how are you feeling. i wrote you a post about a therapy i am giong to try.

@eltonator The song is so wonderfully striped to its core- simple, poignant, I would wager you are right on the time range. His voice is young, and the percussion certainly sounds like Ray. The song would not of been a good fit for the Rock of the Westies- but I can not help but to feel that it could be released a single even today- (enough years from the Simon and Garfunkel version)

@mikeyinqc I am going to say this is 1975-76. You can hear the Xylophone in the background from the second verse (Ray Cooper, presumably). I'm going to hazard a guess and say this may have been recorded during the Rock of the Westies sessions.

What an awesome find! Thank you for posting this. I would love to hear Elton sing this again, with his current deeper voice (and life experience).
