AllSongsList began in 1984 when I started collecting any info and item about Elton John. It was quite difficult those days to find something about his music, thank God to fanzines like Hercules and specially East End Lights. Masters like Bernardin, Turano, Rosenthal, Hayward, Higgins, ... some of them I got the chance to meet in person. And in 2007, I began this non-profit blogsite, used only for entertainment, with no affiliation to Elton John's oficial one only to share our passion: Elton John

A Must To Have: Elton's Books (I)

My Recommendation: If you are searching only an autobiographical book on the style of "Reg Dwight was born..." and so on, maybe this is not the book you are looking for. More than this, Liz Rosenthal includes exclusive behind the-scenes information we won't find anywhere else: concerts through the years, complete song reviews (a source for this blog, of course) and finally, fascinating anecdotes and untold story behind his flamboyant costumes. With 40 black and white photographs and a complete discography.
