When it comes to singers, I think that each of them has a unique style that needs to be recognized. In some cases, that style may be the sound of their voice and in others, it could be the way that they perform. In either case, when they have something awesome to offer, it can take them from being an average celebrity up to being a superstar. More than likely, I’m sure that you can name at least a few of those individuals who have reached superstar status. In some cases, it may even be a combination of factors that push them to that level and that is true of Elton John.
If you’ve ever had an opportunity to see Elton John in concert, it really is quite a performance. He has been touring by himself for quite some time, which is evident by this 1972 video from his performance at Royal Festival Hall in London. He did more than just travel in Europe, however, he went to the United States and worldwide so that his fans could enjoy watching him play the piano and singing his songs. They also tended to enjoy his rather unusual outfits that were a hallmark of his performances. How many of Elton John’s songs could you sing? I bet you could sing more than one, including one of his all-time classics, Rocket Man.
In the video below, you get to see Elton John performing in London in 1972 and he is singing one of his all-time classics. As he sings Rocket Man, you will hear that he was more than just a person who put out records, he was a talented individual that had an excellent voice and could sing for an audience of thousands of people.
Something that you might find interesting about this concert is that it was a performance of Rocket Man that occurred two months before the single was released. When the people in the audience heard it, they were amazed with the sound and I’m sure that they were anxiously waiting for it to be playing on the radio. It is still playing on the radio many times today. Listen to the concert below in the following video:
