Elton John - Tiny Dancer

submitted by mlx

1 decade 7 years 9 months ago

From the 1971 LP "Madman Across the Water." This is a beautiful version, just Elton and his piano.

The song was written just after their first US tour for Maxine Feibelmann, Bernie Taupin's girlfriend. She traveled with the band on their early tours, often sewing together the costumes and fixing their clothes. She and Taupin married in 1971.

Love this song. Folds does a wonderful version on Ben Folds Live - though no one does it better than Elton.

Yeeah, aidos, I love this, too. Looks like it won't make it out alive, though...bummer.
