Like most hit songs of that era (1972), there were two versions: a long one (3.58 in length) and a shorter version (3.23 in length). Top-40 stations tended to prefer a short version of a song, while album-rock stations wanted to play the complete, long version, so record companies provided an edited version along with the album version.
Elton John.
A long time ago Elton John sang about Alice.
Long John Baldry
His real name is Reginald Dwight, so he was probably still known by this name, or else simply as 'Reg'. He only adopted the name Elton John in 1968, as a tribute to the saxophonist Elton Dean from his old band Bluesology and also to Long John Baldry, for whom Bluesology were backing group in the mid to late '60s.
For the most part, he attempting to make sure that he can keep a consistent record of charting with his albums and singles in the US and the UK despite his age. He also hopes that his charity, the Elton John AIDS Foundation, will find the cure to AIDS soon. Elton John also wishes he can keep the Watford F.C. in the First Division of English soccer for as long as possible.

There is always the possibility as long as he is collaborating with other artists, but this may be unlikely.
Elton John did not write the lyrics he wrote the music. Tim Rice wrote the lyrics and the entire Lion King soundtrack took only a few months to create between the two of them.
Like many other artists, Elton John is known for writing his songs and lyrics himself, but often in collaboration with other musicians. One of his long-term partner is the English musician Bernie Taupin.
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.
because Billy Joel like Elton John has out sold alot of concerts and has attracked a long crowd and but unlike Elton Billy sometimes gets drunk during his concerts but the crowd loves him anyway
