艾顿•约翰 (英语:Elton John,1947年3月25日-),原名雷金纳德•肯尼思•德怀特(Reginald Kenneth Dwight),华文传媒喜欢戏称其「乐坛大姑妈」;爵士,英国流行乐手、作曲家和钢琴家,是流行音乐史上成功的独唱歌手。他在1997年为纪念黛安娜王妃而录制的单曲《风中之烛》(英文:Candle in the Wind)为华人所熟悉。(这首歌原本是他于1973年录制献给玛丽莲•梦露,原版歌词里的「Norma Jean」是玛丽莲•梦露的本名。)
作为一个同性恋艺人,他浮夸的衣着和舞台演出、纠缠不清的私生活和他在音乐方面的天分,使他成为一个音乐史上的传奇。

The Red Piano [音乐] 豆瓣
发布日期 2008年11月4日
This four disc box set is one of Elton John's most expansive. The first DVD is the actual concert at Caesar's Palace with fourteen songs played to perfection in front of a 4,100 seat crowd. Its Elton's famous band members combined with a theatrical show combining visual delights like neon sculptures, pop art inflatable's, pole-dancing Pamela Anderson, giant love hearts, balloons and more. Filmmaker David LaChapelle has included original videos for the backdrop for each individual song. There is constant music and constant motion awash in color. The show is much more intimate than the Madison Square Garden 60th Birthday party concert. Elton does a lot more personal talking in this great video as well. The show is available in Dolby stereo or DTS surround.
The second DVD includes an in depth look at the behind the scenes setup of the theater with plenty of individual band member interviews and a great deal of personal perspective and insight from Elton John. It is a remarkable story about what brought about "The Red Piano" show as well as a good briefing on the Elton John band. An excellent addition.
Not to leave out this great music from a non-DVD player, there are two additional CD's that contain all the songs from the show, plus an additional one, "I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues". The entire set is contained in a nice 5" X 7" X 1" cardboard box enclosure.

The Captain And The Kid [音乐] 豆瓣
8.0 (6 个评分) Elton John

The Captain & The Kid, written with his long-time writing partner, Bernie Taupin. More than 30 years after the release of their landmark #1 multi-platinum album, Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy, the duo returns with this sequel. The new album features 10 new songs reflecting the intimate lives and public times spanning the long-standing songwriting partnership of Elton John and lyricist Bernie Taupin. In fact, for the first time, both John and Taupin are featured on an Elton John album cover.

"The album is a celebration of our lives and our lifetimes, of our music and of the music we love. The Captain & The Kid continues our story. You can't look back, we're looking ahead," says John.

Created in the tradition of those fantastic records of the 60's and 70's, The Captain & The Kid is a celebration of when music was the most important voice of our culture and the album was its prime vehicle. Much like Elton's previous records Tumbleweed Connection, Madman Across The Water, and Captain Fantastic And The Brown Dirt Cowboy, The Captain & The Kid is an album meant to transport you back to that place in time when music mattered most. 35 plus years-later, Elton really has become Captain Fantastic and Bernie is most definitely The Brown Dirt Cowboy and they are as passionate about their music as they have ever been.

"I find the whole album to be so touching and beautiful for me because I've lived it," Elton added. "I lived it with Bernie and we've come through it. We've gone over the bridge and here we are at the other side."

The first single from the album, 'The Bridge" is one of 10 tracks which picks up where Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy left off. The album tells the story of Elton and Bernie from when they arrived in Los Angeles 30 years ago, through the ups and downs of their lives, to present day.

It's easy to rag on Elton John. A formerly great artist drifting aimlessly in a world content to pass him by, Britain's premier pantomime dame continues to gamely trot out the hits. He's gradually edging towards self-parody as the flamboyant knight of M.O.R. dinner-music, condemned to soundtracking occasional Disney movies and flouncing his way through Royal Mail ads. Indeed, amidst all the bitching and tales of diva-like behaviour, it's easy to forget that musically he's done little of note in the past 25 years - it's hardly a coincidence that the last decent tune he released (2003's rogue hit "Are You Ready For Love?") was a spruced-up 70s out-take.

Songs from the West Coast [音乐] 豆瓣
发布日期 2001年10月2日 出版发行: Universal
自从\'92年打破猫王纪录,英国钢琴怪杰Elton John连续22年都有单曲入主Billboard单曲榜前40名,至今更缔造30年排行榜不缺席纪录,而出道至今全球唱片销售总数已逾1亿5千万张。

新世纪的首张大碟《Songs From The West Coast》(西岸之歌)大胆增添新意,这次Elton John仍旧和最懂他音乐的填词伙伴Bernie Taupin通力完成,并以全面同步收音的效果录制,让整张专辑十二轨统统听得到。开场曲“The Emperor\'s New Clothes”舍弃华丽编曲,以纯净的钢琴伴奏,领御整张专辑的风格,与他早期专辑Tumbleweed Connection、Madman Across the Water骨子里的精神如出一辙。另外,他特别学习Burt Bachrach及Hal David风格创作了“This Train Don\'t Stop There Anymore”;同时也有相当贴近时事脉动的作品,像首支录制的单曲“American Triangle”,即讲述怀俄明州一名同性恋年轻人惨遭谋杀的故事,以及如“Tiny Dancer”般旋律隽永的爱滋病悲歌“Ballad Of The Boy In The Red Shoes”等。
