Elton John (lyrics, singer, pop, rock, itunes)

The first Elton John that I remember as being his first big hit here in the states (that was actually kinda heavy rock sounding for its time in 72) was Crocodile Rock.

Elton John, Bernie Taupin, and Nigel Olsson.

Nigel Olsson and his vocals with Elton John are some of the best harmonies in rock history. Olsson seems to be overlooked more these days, as being a key player and vital part in Johns earlier music in my opinion.

Strange side note: I constantly forget whether he's living or dead at most points in time.
