Question: Elton John & George Michael...


Recommended Posts

I've been given a playlist of sorts - 4 songs in total, but one of them is listed as:

George Michael & Elton John - Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me.

 

Now, I wasn't aware these two ever recorded this track together - I thought it was only ever a live performance.

Elton John, of course, recorded it on his own years ago.

 

Can anyone enlighten me?

Cheers.

Have you been living on the moon for the last 10 years maboy! :D

 

i think its actualy better than the original, I'm sure it was recorded for a tribute concert, because the recording that went to no1 is live, george sings then he says that immortal line - "Ladies and Gentleman - Mr Elton John". I had the single and I believe the B side(remember them) was a version of Queens somebody to love(which I think was taken from the freddie mercury tribute concert).

Couldnt tell you if the "somebody to love" was a B side of that track......but I certainly have it somewhere....

 

And IMO both "dont let the sun" and "somebody to love" are amazing covers of the originals....liked them both a lot.

 

And I think (and Im sure somebody will correct me if Im wrong) that "dont let the sun" was on a Now CD at sometime.......or maybe not.

No - it doesn't appear on any NOW CD.

Actually, yes. tongue out icon I go there quite often...

I lost touch with contemporary hits for quite a while, and this was obviously amongst them.

 

Not to worry, as I've now discovered someone nearby who has a copy!

But thanks again all for your help and suggestions as to where I can obtain it. smile icon

 

EDIT:

"No - it doesn't appear on any NOW CD."

I'll retract that statement, as my collection of NOWs probably doesn't go back far enough. smile icon
