This song was supposed to be on Tumbleweed Connection but was set aside and became the title track for his next album.

On CD rereleases the early version of the song is there.


Elton John
Madman Across The Water

Another favorite of mine.

Paul Buckmaster's orchestral arrangements were stunning.

What the hell happened to that guy?

Enjoyed both vudeos immensely.

We've mentioned that he has a new album coming out, right? In my life, I've seen Elton twice in concert. I will purchase this album, probably pre-purchase.

For those who don't know, that is American Rose, posing as Reginald Rose, in honor of Sir Elton, whose real name is Reginald Dwight.
