Elton John Background
Sir Elton Hercules John was born with the name Reginald Kenneth Dwight, which is equally as regal and refreshing as his stage name. He was born in Pinner, Middlesex, England in 1947 during the chilly days of March. John was always one with music and grew up surrounding himself with it his whole childhood. He has achieved such mastery that he was able to play a piece on the piano that he’d only heard once with perfection. He started off as a pianist in a local pub, then ended up joining a band. His career took off from there, and the music world has never been the same since.
Elton John’s Greatest Hits
Trying to list all of John’s hits is a little overwhelming. But some of his greatest tunes are “Sorry Seems To Be the Hardest Word”, “Candle in the Wind”, “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road”, “Rocket Man”, “Tiny Dancer”, “Your Song”, and “This Train Don’t Stop There Anymore”.
