Great music by Elton John. Many favorites.
I love the music of Elton John too, Carol.
Yeah I agree 1974 – Another great year for music
The 1970a had lots to like in music of all kinds.
1974 – Another great year for music. Gotta love Elton and Stevie. I wanted to go to Elton’s concerts; but I was unable to; and the one this fall will be his last. Thanks for posting.
Glad you enjoyed the music here Linda. Yes, both Elton and Stevie wonder had many great hits.
I thing it would be interesting if everyone here made a list and see how alike or different it might be.
That could be interesting since not everyone agrees on the same thing,.
1974 was, indeed, a good year for music, as was the 70’s in general I think! I didn’t know Duke Ellington died this year though. I love his music.
Many jazz lovers followed along whenever Duke Ellington played in New York City. There were many great jazz clubs.
