RETRO CLASSICS

Elton John is touring Australia at the moment. I caught his fabulous show in Melbourne last Sunday.  As he is one of the Caffe` Latte` favourite artists, this is Part 2 of a 2-week special edition of Elton memories...
  • POP- 
"Tonight"
Elton sings some of Taupin's most moving lyrics on this track from 'Blue Moves':

"Carla / Etude"
Elton performs an under-rated instrumental from 'The Fox' album:

"Wrap Her Up
Elton with George Michael on guest vocals, as they namecheck the female icons of the time:

R&B

Elton joined by the Queen of Hip Hop on one of his best hit songs-  "I Guess That's Why They Call it the Blues"

Also check out a song featured on this blog - "Elton's Song". Not all that well known, but its lyrics are so powerful!

 Smash or... Trash? 
"Your Song"- (duet with Ronan Keating) 

This is my favourite song, but I'm no fan of Ronan's singing on this duet cover. What do you think?
