elton john

I would have to say that Reginald Kenneth Dwight aka Elton john is one of the most  interesting rock and roll artists of all time. Elton John  loved music so much, when he was only 4 years old he taught himself to play the piano all my himself!Elton proved he that he was a great musical artist when he was younger when he won a  scholarship to the youth program for the royal academy of music in London. After a few years went by Elton John didn't think he needed school anymore and he wanted to feel his dream of playing music, so he dropped out when he was 17 years old. in the beginning Elton johns career was very slow he first started his career by answering a ad to be a songwriter in 1967. be he got his big break in 1969 when he produced his first album empty sky's. Everything went right from there Elton john really was a huge hit in the 1980's with a lot of memorable songs like Little Jeannie and Empty Garden. His most memorable song was Hey Hey johnny and this song  was for his great friend who died the late and great john Lennon. That a huge thing about Elton John was that he was a homosexual  but that really wasn't a big deal because the man was a musical   artists writing songs like Rocket Man, Bennie and the Jets, Crocodile Rock  and Save rock and roll. Two huge accomplishments in Elton Johns life is winning 10 tony awards and being inducted into the hall of fame of rock and roll in1994. Almost forget one thing in 1998 Elton john was knighted by the queen of England!
