    The “Don't Go Breaking My Heart” video was shot all in one take with a three-camera setup by Mike Mansfield. During the instrumental section, Elton attempts to teach Kiki a version of the “hand jive”, a 1950s dance that would resurge in popularity with the release of the film Grease.

    Kiki's emotional reserve in this performance gets me every time. Elton was a much bigger star and she almost appears to be in awe of him. It's charming the way she warms up to this song as she sings it. This cannot have been acted: it was her natural emotion.

      Took the words out of mouth. I'm 55. I've never seen this video before tonight. Never knew what she looked like. Why I never heard about her after this song. But, yes. In 3 minutes she goes from nervous to shy to cute to warming up to stealing Elton's shine. He sees it early. To keep her down he almost breaks her neck at: 00.47. "Slow your roll, gir.". But very cute till the end.

      @Meh Bernie writes all of the lyrics and elton writes all of the music. They never swap roles at all... bernie sends sheets of lyrics to elton and he turns them into songs. It's a weird process they use, elton says they've never sat next to each other and wrote a song ever, he always just gets sheets of lyrics.
      But yeah Bernie deserves a huge amount of credit for his wonderful lyrics (and elton talkd about him a lot and makes sure he gets credit), but it's elton who writes all the music.
      This is a cool video to watch btw... it shows elton with the original lyrucs bernie gave him for 'tiny dancer' and he explains how he wrote the music for it: ua-cam.com/video/B0W6jCOggWQ/v-deo.html

    Saw him, live, in Portland OR in 1976. There was NO opening act.

    • @Grisbane
      @Grisbane 2 роки тому +19

      Elton was light rock at best. As for biggest, that was and is a highly contested claim. He was also one of the most hated artists at the time as well. Especially since Fleetwood Mac was getting huge around this time, and Pink Floyd as well as Led Zeppelin were still very much household names (although this was about the time Zeppelin started to wane). Not to mention this was the beginning of the rise of Metal era, and Black Sabbath was pretty massive at the time. Oh, then there was also another band.. named Queen.
      So sure.. Elton was the biggest Light Rock performer... but biggest overall.. like I said, highly, highly contested claim.
