Bernie Taupin lyrics, Elton John music
Elton JohnAnswerElton John wrote the music. Bernie Taupin wrote the lyrics.
He was a composer that worked with a lyricist, Bernie Taupin, and in this arrangement, Bernie Taupin wrote the lyrics, handed them to Elton John, and Elton wrote the music to the lyrics.
Sometime late 1969 to early 1970. It has been said that Bernie Taupin [his lyricist] scribbled down the lyrics one morning during breakfast. When Elton received the lyrics, he wrote the melody down in about ten minutes.
In late '66 / early '67. Elton (who was then still known as Reginald Dwight) was first introduced to Taupin by Ray Williams, who was the A&R man for Liberty Records- Bernie Taupin was an aspiring songwriter, and Williams gave Elton a stack of song lyrics by him which needed to be set to music. Elton composed tunes for a sample few, posted them to Taupin who was impressed, and thenceforth their professional partnership began which endures to this day.The first single they released was called Scarecrow, in 1967.
One person has helped him build his career: Bernie Taupin. Taupin is Elton's long-time lyricist and friend. If they had not met by an advertisement for music writers, Bernie's lyrics might have never reached Elton, and neither songwriter would be as successful as they are today. However, not many other people have helped him; he is mostly self-made.
Rocket Man was originally recorded by Sir Elton John in 1972. In 1991, Kate Bush recorded Rocket Man on the album Two Rooms: Celebrating the Music of Elton John and Bernie Taupin
