[ABC/9:35pm] Enough Rope with Andrew Denton. This week on ENOUGH ROPE Andrew Denton talks to multi-Grammy-winning legend Elton John, who is one of the most enduringly successful singer/songwriters of his generation. Elton’s career has spanned more than 35 years, and unbelievably, he achieved at least one Top 40 American hit single a year between 1970 and 1999. A former student of the Royal Academy of Music in London, England, Elton (born Reginald Kenneth Dwight in 1947) left school and immediately embraced the music industry. His first band, Bluesology, was formed in 1961. Elton was introduced to his future life long songwriting partner Bernie Taupin in 1966 by Ray Williams at Liberty Records. Three decades since the release of his first album Empty Sky, in 1969, Elton is still turning out some of the finest music of his career. His musical life is marked by a startling resilience, openness and refusal to let his talent simmer. He has been his own man throughout this amazing journey, and has stayed true to his musical style while managing to connect with people of all ages. Elton co-wrote John Lennon’s comeback single Whatever Gets You through the Night, and was joined by his fellow legend on stage at New York’s Madison Square Garden to perform it. Their mutual appreciation society ran until Lennon’s untimely death in 1980. In 1992 in the USA, and in 1993 in the UK, Elton established the Elton John AIDS Foundation; his pioneering charity dedicated to breakthrough work on behalf of those around the world suffering from HIV and related illnesses. He was Chairman of Watford Football Club in the UK from 1976-90, and is now President. The late 1990s were a time of personal tragedy for Elton, with the loss of his good friends, fashion design guru Gianni Versace and Diana, the Princess of Wales. The Princess’s death would provide him with the biggest single hit of his career, a rewrite of his Marilyn Monroe tribute Candle in the Wind, which he performed at her funeral. Candle in the Wind 97 is still the biggest selling single in the world, ever. In 1998 Elton received a knighthood from HRH Queen Elizabeth II for “services to music and charitable services.” In 2005 Elton joined in a civil partnership with long-term partner David Furnish. The new millennium has seen him still at the top of his game, and in 2002 he was awarded an honorary doctorate from the Royal Academy of Music.

  1. Bordering Insecurity – what a crap show, I’m sure Howard is a fan – no doubt doing some of his dirty work in stereotyping all Asians as drug smugglers and blacks as evil doers!!!

  2. Does anybody eles get the feeling that Surf Patrol is a rip off of the network 10 show Bondi something. Which is almost about the same thing!!
