Elton John-Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (1973)

Elton John was one of the most glittering stars in 1973, acclaimed in his native England, despite fierce criticism from the British press, who accused him of sounding too American, while in the United States he was idolized by both critics as by the general public.
So things Elton John entered the studio to record his next album, "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road", which would be his seventh album and thus continue his military journey with the overwhelming success on both sides of the Atlantic.
Together with Bernie Taupin, his lyricist and regular collaborator and a fundamental part of the keyboard player's career, they composed material to publish a double album.
However, at first Elton John himself did not have all of them when considering the possible reaction of his fans when having to pay double for listening to his music.
Finally the album was released in December 1973 and became the third album in their overwhelming series of six consecutive ones that reached number one in America, started in 1972 with the album "Honky Chateau".
The album contains instant hits; "Candle In The Wind" (Bernie Taupin dedication to Marilyn Monroe), the rocker "Saturday Night's Alright", the progressive and epic "Funeral For a Friend", or the superb pop song "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road".
This was the album that most successful singles would grab him at the same time, it was also his most varied and eclectic album of all his record label, which reached amazing sales with more than 30 million copies sold worldwide.
