That's right T.T. !
Including being known in the late 60's in England,Sir Elton has been in the biz going on 40 years (either this year or the next.)
It seems like mere weeks ago in 1997,that he turned 50,said goodbye to both Versache and Princess Diana and then had the biggest hit single of his entire career. "Candle In The Wind 1997/Something About The Way You Look Tonight".
That double sided hit stayed #1 for 14 weeks,longer than any of his past hits. He ended the 20th century with the longest run of top 40 hits ever 1970 to 1999!
That's every single year,he had at least 1 hit on the Billboard Top 40. Even if only in for a week. In Jan of '96 he just barely squeaked by!
Tonight on the "MY" network (whatevr you call it) he is performing a televised concert that is defininetly a "do not miss"!
Here in Phoenix the channel is called MY 45,I think it's an off shoot of the FOX network. I labeled it on my tv as MNTV.
Happy Birthday Reginald Dwight the 3rd! :D He did legally changed his name to Elton John by the way.
