I like Elton John very much, enjoy his “Your Song.” I saw him at Cincinnati (at the time Riverside Stadium) and he sang, “Philadelphia Freedom” with Cincinnati instead. He also had Kiki Dee. I am not sure but I think “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart.” My kids once had a Christian person tell them while they were young, “Elton John is a gay and you should not listen or watch Lion King!” We told the Pastor and he “fired” the Youth Group Leader.
