REG partners were honored to work with Sir Elton in producing a Hard Rock Live show in Orlando in 2006.
In terms of sales and lasting popularity, Elton John remains one of the biggest pop superstars ever. Initially marketed as a singer/songwriter, John soon revealed he could craft Beatles-esque pop and pound out rockers with equal aplomb. He could dip into soul, disco, and country, as well as classic pop balladry and even progressive rock. His versatility, combined with effortless melodic skills and flamboyant stage shows, made him the most popular recording artist of the '70s.
Unlike many pop stars, John was able to sustain his popularity, charting a Top 40 single every single year from 1970 to 1996. During that time, he had temporary slumps in creativity and sales, as he fell out of favor with critics, had fights with his lyricist Bernie Taupin, and battled various addictions and public scandals. But through it all, John remained a remarkably popular artist and many of his songs -- including "Your Song," "Rocket Man," "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road," and "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" -- became pop standards.
Below, REG partners Howard Stovall and Paul Chandler deliver a Sun Studio hat to Elton backstage at the show in Orlando.
