“Elton John”
“In terms of sales and popularity, Elton John was the biggest pop superstar of the
early 70’s.” Initially marketed as a singer/songwriter, John soon revealed he could craft
Beatle type pop and pound out equal rockers with aplomb. ... “Unlike many pop
stars, John was able to sustain his popularity, charting a Top 40 single every single year
from 1970 to 1996. ...
“Elton John was born under the name Reginald Kenneth Dwight, 25 March 1947, Pinner, Middlesex, England. ... John Baldry joined the band in 1966, which included Elton Dean on saxophone, and Caleb Quaye on lead guitar. As Baldry became the leader, John became disillusioned with being a pianist and began to explore the possibilities of a music publishing contract. ... This undistinguished song was the first to bear the John/Taupin moniker. John had only recently adopted this name, having dispensed with Reg Dwight in favor of the more marketable title borrowed from the first names of his former colleagues Dean and Baldry.
