His first album was in 1969 and called "Empty Sky" but there are recordings prior. Recordings date back to when he was in a band called Bluesology (mid-late 60's) and when he went solo (1967) The first song he recorded is called scarecrow. there is an album of unreleased songs from then.

Elton likes to perform, and he has a big catalog to choose from. These days (2010), he typically does not have an opening act, he will start on time, and he will play for between 2-1/2 to 3 hours when he's with his band. I don't know the current status of his solo shows, or his shows with Ray Cooper, or the Elton John/Billy Joel shows.
the top selling solo artist of the seventies is English singer Elton John
