On Friday, Elton John resumed his global farewell tour in Philadelphia with a shout-out to the hometown crowd on “Philadelphia Freedom.”
I think it's gonna be a long, long time until we see another songwriter and performer like Elton John.
The artist born 75 years ago as Reginald Kenneth Dwight kicked off the final leg of his North American farewell tour Friday night at Citizens Bank Park, home of baseball's Philadelphia Phillies. And yes, he felt the love that night. He has five Grammy awards, as well as a Tony award for "Aida." His crooning of "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" in "The Lion King" motion picture has serenaded millions of children, and will entertain future generations of little ones.
Throughout the night, John rolled out a dazzling array of smash hits spanning musical styles and genres. The gospel phrasings and cadences that so influenced his early work were evident on "Border Song" and "Take Me To The Pilot," and even the straightforward radio staple "Levon" got a come-to-meeting revved-up ending.
No matter: the crowd happily supplied the falsetto parts for him, including a mass sing-along of the "la-la-la" chorus on "Crocodile Rock."
