As I am a keen John/Taupin fan, I have decided that (for the very first time) I will upload the entire Friends Soundtrack, including all the variation instrumentals. In the early seventies Elton John established himself as a charismatic and flamboyant soloist , and in a year that featured albums such as 'Madman across the Water' and 'Tumbleweed Connection', he yet again expressed his impeccable songwriting ability in this soundtrack.

In this teen romance, a young neglected English boy runs away and becomes friends with a French girl. Together, they go to an idyllic marsh location in France , become lovers, set up housekeeping, have a baby, and play at being responsible adults, discovering along the way many of the troubles involved, before ultimately becoming separated by police responding to a missing persons report.

The general response was poorly recieved by critics and commercially it failed to impress.

However the release of the soundtrack brought the energy into the production back to life and the title track still peaked at a successful #34 in the US charts.

The entire album was re-released with the compliation album 'Rare Masters' in 1992, while a couple of the songs were previously released on the 1980 'Lady Samantha' album.

Therefore I am proud to present the Friends Soundtrack in its entirety -

My wife and I were dating in 1971. We were high school sweethearts. This was one if the first movies we ever saw. Married now for over 40 years, and growing older, we regret that we never could afford to go see Elton live. Now, I am riddled with diabetes, we wonder if we will ever get to one of his live concerts. Would love to get there in October - our anniversary month.

This song always reminds me of a certain moment in time while driving my old VW and playing this song on the 8-track. Its as if my mind took a snapshot of the moment and all the surroundings and stored it in my *Precious Memory Files*. Not sure what the significance of the moment was but there was something very special about it to my heart.

Just like everyone who is listening to this song. It brings me back to a High School sweetheart . Great feelings that went along with the innocents and curiosity of growing up. This was the favorite song of that relationship at that time. This song should be dedicated to all the classmates we lost over the years.
