ELTON JOHN "YOUR SONG"
Elton John owes part of his breakthrough with "Your Song" to Three Dog Night. The group's Danny Hutton, said: "Elton gave us this demo of it and we recorded it for our album 'It Ain't Easy' in 1970. We thought about releasing it as a single, but in the end, we didn't."
Even Elton John's record company didn't initially intend "Your Song" as a single; they buried it on the B-side of "Take Me To the Pilot." But when DJs flipped the single over and played the gorgeous ballad instead, it shot up into the Top Ten.
I listened to the Three Dog Night version on You Tube and I was not impressed. However, I must say that I really did like Elton John's "Take Me To the Pilot."
