RETRO CLASSICS

Elton John is touring Australia at the moment, with a show in Melbourne this coming Sunday, so as he is one of the Caffe` Latte` favourite artists, this is Part 1 of a 2-week special edition of Elton memories...
  • POP- 
"Are You Ready For Love"
When Philadelphia was the soul epicentre in the early 70s, Elton collaborated with Thom Bell, creating some great music. This track features the Spinners on backup vocals:

 Smash or... Trash?

Just to show that even great artists can suffer from poor judgement, here is Elton tackling a discofied version of the Chuck Berry classic!
