Description

This opening hit from Elton’s 1972 ‘Honky Chateau’ album was apparently inspired by Bernie Taupin’s glimpse of a shooting star at night. Although the album was also produced by the same man as Bowie’s ‘Space Oddity’, Gus Dudgeon, John denies that his song was a response to Bowie’s hit from two years earlier. Rocket Man has remained one of Elton’s greatest hits — perfectly embodying the Piano Man’s understated Rock sound.
