>> Not sure if Elton John ever wrote anything, maybe he did.
>Elton John didn't write any of his memorable songs.
I forgot partner's name and had to look it up.
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernie_Taupin
Taupin's lyrics include such songs as "Rocket Man", "Levon", "Crocodile Rock", "Honky Cat", "Tiny Dancer", "Candle in the Wind", "Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting", "Bennie and the Jets", "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road", "Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters", "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me", "The Bitch is Back", "Daniel", and 1970's "Your Song", their first hit. Hits in the 1980s include "I'm Still Standing", "I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues", "Sad Songs", and "Nikita." In the 1990s, Taupin and John had more hits, including "The One", "Simple Life", "The Last Song", "Club at the End of the Street" and "Believe." In September 1997, Taupin rewrote the lyrics of "Candle in the Wind" for "Candle in the Wind 1997", a tribute to the late Diana, Princess of Wales. -
It also somewhat reminds me of Burt Bacharach teaming up with a writer (Hal, forget name, that also did 'Alfie' and I believe Pussycat as well iirc) that did the lyrics arrangement back in 1960s for some of Burt's well known songs.
