3.0 out of 5 stars novel remakes from an up & coming star, July 12, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: 16 Legendary Covers from 1969/70 as sung by Elton John (Audio CD)
Who knew at the time Reginal Kenneth Dwight recorded these pop tunes written by other artists that he would eventually be the superstar that he is today. The sound is slightly raw and his voice still developing, but the style and arrangements are uniquely Elton John. This is probably not a CD for the casual Elton John listener but a must for the enthusiast (such as myself)who can appreciate the artist for his musical energy and creative interpretations that were and still are the backbone of his successful career.

4.0 out of 5 stars More hits than the average Elton album, January 20, 2012

So what if these aren't originals. A couple of these songs were hits only in the UK so they're new to me. According to the notes most of these Elton covers were hits over there. Its not surprising. This is the same Elton voice that is heard on all those hits from the early 70s. Naturally the session players sound like a late 60s pop band but there's nothing low budget about the productions or arrangements. The cheap looking cd cover is in fact the only thing wrong with this album. Most of these covers won't make you forget the originals but if you're an Elton fan that won't matter. Great songs, great covers.
