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

The Story Behind "Les Aveux"
France Gall released her new album “Paris, France” with a song tribute to Elton “Il Jouait du Piano Debut” (“He Plays The Piano Standing Up”), explaining Elton’s fidelity to music and the way he attached the piano keys”. Elton met Gall and his husband, Michel Berger, in St. Tropez and decided to record a duet.
“Les Aveux” has his english predecessor, “Reach Out To Me”, but Berger wrote a new set of lyrics, talking about love, in the context of a couple lovers sharing thoughts of the strenght they expect to gain by their reunion. The single was a big success in France, topping the music chart lists, and selling six hundred thousand copies. Even its “B” side, “Donner Pour Donner”, again a duet with Gall, reached the charts and became a huge success.
