The guitars and keyboards hit the right chords which was magic to my ears. When Elton John sang Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, he sang it with such feeling like he was the girl with kaleidoscope eyes. It's like he was singing on a big hill and his voice painted the scenery.
I remember after Cher left Sonny, and got her own show, she changed for the better!! I had a huge crush on her as a teen! Elton's version of "Lucy" is by far the best!
I remember watching this on the Cher show way back when. I was 15 years old and a huge Elton John Fan. My dad walked out of the living room, I guess Elton was too strange for a farmer in Indiana at the time....
My mom apologized recently for getting me queen albums when i was a kid in the seventys she said she didn't realize what was behind the music....in some ways i agree 😂
I remember watching this on Cher show, also remember being in love with EJ, wanted to emulate his eye wear so my mom let me get blue tinted prescription eye glasses......
Here, within this most "historical" time in Pop Music History, a much younger, vibrantly beautiful, and impressionable *Cher* courted the "song promotion of a Legendary 'Caribou Ranch' recording," but do believe me when I say: "This particular song recording needed no promotional introduction, or sales pitch" from the studio recording we knew from radio. And so it came to pass, that by the time the dust settled at the western, most scenic town of "Caribou Ranch, Colorado," history was made, and Elton John had become: *The Greatest Pop Musician In World History!* Although a many have tried to compete, there can be "no turning back" today.
'He and Taupin' together, once failed to land a single record deal in England - few in Britain were impressed - but soon thereafter, *Cher* and *all of America* would hear him, and become well-acquainted with him. America had discovered the *Greatest Pop Star* that would ever live on planet earth.
This song was never a part of the Captain Fantastic album. It was released as a 7" single. Here in Brazil, side b to this single was 'Cold Highway', a song I also love.
LUCY STAYS IN THE SKY :JOHN LENNON IS GONE TOO: AND ELTON WITH US ALL HERE ON EARTH : SING OR LISTENINGTO THIS THOUSAND-CARAT DIAMOND IN THE FORM OF WORDS THAT MAKE UP SWEET SONG.
Elton John cover of this beautiful song is brilliant and even better than original version. Another thing that comes into my mind is John Lennon. Rest in Peace John Lennon
I think Elton's version stands up better on it's own then the Beatles' version did due to it's fact it is sort of included in a melody of sorts on the "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" compared to Elton's version of it being arranged by him separately on "Captain Fantastic and the Brown Cowboy" album. Although don't forget one-half of The Beatles do appear on the Elton's recorded version (both John Lennon and George Harrison, as both back-up singers and guitar players).
I agree! As much as I love the Beatles, I love this version way better. And I like his version of Pinball Wizard better than The Who also. Much tighter.
Esta que más romántica me recuerda a mi chica su nombre es Adriana roa una hermosa Venezolana de Venezuela que me enamore cuando la vi por primeras vez
Adriana ah Adriana Ahahah cuando te amo siempre te recuerdo y te amo tanto ah Adriana siempre fuiste una muy genial venezolana de Venezuela que me enamorado de ti. Siempre te voy amar, tu me gusta mucho muchísimo
Only he, had an ear for perfection, because only "he" was perfect among us! He took Lennon's wrecked version, and covered it to historical Gold! Even Cher herself, was brought to tears - Perhaps the most historical music moment ever to be aired Live, on American television!
While I think Elton's version is better to call the Beatles version "wrecked" is ridiculous. It's a masterpiece in itself. Part of the reason Elton's version was so good was because it included the vocal harmonies and guitar of John Lennon himself.
What were those keyboard single chords that sounded like pipe organ plus the white noise sound of a blast from a steam whistle? What kind of keyboard were those being played on? Never heard anything like that on any record since.
Photoreading is the closest to CPH4 in Lucy. Lucy in the Sky (blue expanse of void) with Diamonds (synapses firing off in orgasms of truth ❤). Once you go black, you never go back! www.quora.com/Does-the-C-P-H-4-molecule-really-exist-as-shown-in-the-movie-Lucy-If-so-how-does-it-work-I%E2%80%99ve-heard-there-is-a-drug-close-to-it-but-are-there-any-alternatives
First time i heatd rhis cover of lucy in the sky of course he is marvelous as always there is no song he does that is not perfect to me im a huge fan of elton john ana
This song is NOT about LSD *It's was made up from a picture of a boy's friend who painted a picture of a homosexual wearing a tin foil costume playing piano*
I love all of the songs from Elton John. How can I not love them.

Elton John is too strange for planet Earth at ANY time

My mom apologized recently for getting me queen albums when i was a kid in the seventys she said she didn't realize what was behind the music....in some ways i agree 😂

FANTASTIC !

love this song, much better than the beatles version.
Holy frickin shi*, how historical!
The most beautiful version of this song!...

Fantástico. Simplesmente Elton John

Love this cover
saw on Tv back here in Brazil at the time (1976) and to me Elton was like finding gold, didn't know it was a show presented by Cher
perfect !

@Student Joanna Robledo The Beatles' version is OK but I prefer Elton's version. To each his/her own.
A song about a nursery school drawing ...... R I P John. Elton can do any song well
Elton added so much more to the song than The Beatles
I love it!
How good does EJ have to be to outdo the almighty Beatles on their own song? Who else could do that? No one I know of.
when you make a Beatles' cover, and it's better than original, you know you'll be in history..
And his version of Pinball Wizard was better than the original by The Who.
Bad Ass! I always loved this version even better than the Beatles. cheers TyT
I agree! As much as I love the Beatles, I love this version way better. And I like his version of Pinball Wizard better than The Who also. Much tighter.
Me too!!!!
I don't like it better... on principle.. but I do love it
Esta que más romántica me recuerda a mi chica su nombre es Adriana roa una hermosa Venezolana de Venezuela que me enamore cuando la vi por primeras vez
Every time the bread’s ready in Lidl it reminds me of this song as the identical “chime” sounds the first three notes (D A D)
Cata muito bem Deus te abençoe
Adriana ah Adriana Ahahah cuando te amo siempre te recuerdo y te amo tanto ah Adriana siempre fuiste una muy genial venezolana de Venezuela que me enamorado de ti.
Siempre te voy amar, tu me gusta mucho muchísimo
I like this Song Better by Elton John 😍💎✌✌💟
💞💖😊
Oh please lol🥰my daddy🤣💖
Fantástico. Simplesmentee
Why can't he go heavy metal with this number.
POV: A night witch and a siren she befriended put on a show in the In-Between realm to lure people into the sweet release of sin.

Bold
I agree John! Wrecked??? Not hardly.
And I got to watch it when it first aired! It was magical then, and it's magical now!
Where is Cher's tears? I love stupid comments on UA-cam.
What were those keyboard single chords that sounded like pipe organ plus the white noise sound of a blast from a steam whistle? What kind of keyboard were those being played on? Never heard anything like that on any record since.
This is not from, "Captain Fantastic And The Brown Dirt Cowboy"
Why s thumbs down ?
This version is much shorter than the released version.
777
ELTON ALWAYS WRITES ABOUT FICTIAL PEOPLE GENERALLY : AND JOHN UNLIKE ELTON; ALWAYS WROTE LYRICS ABOUT REAL PEOPLE.
What exactly was he wearing?

This song is NOT about LSD
*It was from a picture painted of a homosexual wearing silly tin foil suit playing a piano*
