Yes, during the mid 60's, he was in a band called Bluesology, but they never released any songs or albums.

That's right. Before that, he was in a short-lived band called The Corvettes, who did mostly R&B material.

Bluesology acted as backing group for a number of visiting American soul stars, and in '66 were invited to become the official backing group for Long John Baldry, ending up doing 16 gigs with him at London's now-defunct Marquee Club. Elton adopted the surname of John in tribute to Baldry.
