I remember listening to this when it first came out in 1980 -- great, great album. This song and Venezuela are my favorites. Forgot how good it really was.11 years ago

This is clearly better than a lot of Elton's sub-standard stuff at the time12 years ago

I love this, and Bernie Taupin has a great voice. Sorry, since I have asked in another video with the same song, but do you know where I could find a digital copy of the song, since I can't find it on any of the music stores on the internet. I would really appreciate if you could tell me, where I could find it. Or, do I have to buy the CD. I wouldn't mind, if I do have to buy the CD. Well, thank you. And, thank you, for releasing the original version of the song, in the video.13 years ago
