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.
Elton John, born Reginald Kenneth Dwight, legally changed his name in 1972 when he adopted the stage name "Elton John." The name change coincided with his rising fame and the release of his self-titled album, which helped to establish his identity as a prominent musician. The name "Elton" was inspired by the bandleader Elton Dean, and "John" was taken from the singer Long John Baldry.
A long time ago Elton John sang about Alice.
As of my last knowledge update in October 2023, Elton John's management team is led by David Furnish, who is also Elton John's husband. Additionally, Elton John has worked with various management professionals over the years, including his long-time manager, John Reid. However, for the most current information, it's best to check recent sources, as management relationships can change.
Elton John appeared with a baby girl named Elizabeth in a famous photo taken in 1993. Elizabeth is the daughter of Elton's close friend and former collaborator, David Furnish. The image symbolizes Elton's long-standing relationship with both David and the concept of family, as he has since become a father himself.

Long John Baldry
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.
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.
Elton John owned a superyacht named "Wabi Sabi," which is 57 meters (187 feet) long. The yacht features luxurious amenities, including a large sun deck, an outdoor cinema, and spacious living areas. Wabi Sabi was designed for both comfort and style, reflecting Elton John's opulent lifestyle and love for music.
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.
