Показать описание
"Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" is a ballad written by English musician Elton John and songwriter Bernie Taupin, and performed by John. It is the title track on John's album of the same name. The titular road is a reference to L. Frank Baum's The Wizard of Oz film and book series.
The song has been widely praised by critics; some consider it a strong contender for John's finest song ever. Rolling Stone listed the song at No. 390 of its 500 greatest songs of all time in 2010. In the US, it was certified gold on 4 January 1974 and platinum on 13 September 1995 and 2× platinum on 2 March 2020 by the RIAA.
In Canada, the single reached No. 1 on the RPM 100 national singles chart on 22 December 1973 and held the position for one week, making it John's third No. 1 in the year 1973 in that country (following "Crocodile Rock" and "Daniel"). On the US Hot 100, it went to No. 2, behind both "Top of the World" by the Carpenters and "The Most Beautiful Girl" by Charlie Rich. On the US Easy Listening chart, it rose to No. 7 and spent 18 weeks on the charts. In Ireland, it reached No. 4; in the UK it peaked at No. 6. (Wikipedia)

My brother played this album on his 8 track quite a bit. One day I asked so kindly if I could please listen to his John Elton tape. He said if I ever learned how to say the name of the artist correctly I would be able to listen to the tape. RIP, my dear brother, Billy.

Georgy Porgy’s Favourites Uploaded: Elton John - Goodbye 👋 Yellow Brick Road (1973)
This song 🎧 typifies Elton for his colourful and exuberance in his music. He’s most definitely up there in the talented piano playing and singing genius.
This video photography is so up there in bright colourful lights. I especially love ❤️ the Yellow Brick Road so tastefully done with nusical keynotes.
This song does Elton true justice, not only you can hear quite clearly the word’s but also the lyrics I find very catchy (you keep going over it again and again, in a lovely 🥰 way.
Question ??? Where does this yellow, glittery filled road lead to with your next favourite choice … I’m sure, as per usual you’ll find an equally lovely and lyrical sounding song.
I absolutely enjoyed listening to this long ago song. !!! Lovely. Thank You for letting me listen to it again.
Perfection in my opinion.
