A brief introduction of Elton John



Elton Hercules John
Sir Elton Hercules John (born Reginald Kenneth Dwight on 25 march ,1947) is a five-time Grammy and one-time Academy award-winning English pop/rock singer, composer and pianist.


Musical Style and Voice

1. In the 1970s, Elton John's sound immediately set him apart from most others by being piano-based in a rock 'n' roll world dominated by guitars.

2. His songs often use a slowly building crescendo that brings the song to a climax.

3. John also has a distinctive vocal style. In particular, his phrasing is often a bit metronomic.

4. In his classic period in the 1970s, Elton sometimes swept up from his normal tenor into a versatile falsetto.

Lyrics to Can you feel the love tonight

There's a calm surrender

To the rush of day

When the heat of the rolling world

Can be turned away

An enchanted moment

And it sees me through

It's enough for this restless warriorJust to be with you

And can you feel the love tonight?

It is where we are

It's enough for wide eyed wanderer

That we got this farAnd can you feel the love tonight
How it's laid to rest

It's enough to make kings and vagabonds

Believe the very best

There's a time for ev'ryone

If they only learn

That the twisting kaleidoscope

Moves us all in turn

There's a rhyme and reason

To the wild outdoors

When the heart of this star-crossed voyager

Beats in time with yours

And can you feel the love tonight?

It is where we are

It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer

That we got this far

And can you feel the love tonight

How it's laid to rest?

It's enough to make kings and vagabonds

Believe the very best

It's enough to make kings and vagabonds

Believe the very best
