Ted Tocks Covers - Year 8 - Day 38

Someone Saved My Life Tonight

#EltonJohn released ‘Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy’ on this day 50 years ago.

“You almost had your hooks in me
Didn't you dear
You nearly had me roped and tied
Altar bound hypnotized sweet freedom
Whispered in my ear
You're a butterfly
And butterflies are free to fly
Fly away
High away
Bye bye”

An Elton John Retrospective

It was on this day in 1998 that Elton John was Knighted. He officially became Sir Elton John when he received this honour from Queen Elizabeth II during a Buckingham Palace ceremony.

Here is a post from last year that speaks to the origin of his name Elton John.

From Reginald Dwight, to Elton John to Sir Elton John over a 55 year career.
