The Profile

Reginald Kenneth Dwight, known as Elton John, is an English singer, pianist and composer who rose to prominence in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Longtime collaborator Bernie Taupin provided lyrics for much of his work. He is best known for piano-driven pop/rock songs and landmark 1970s albums; he was knighted and has had a prolific recording and performing career.

Longstanding songwriting partnership with Bernie Taupin; piano-led pop/rock style; major success in early 1970s; knighted (honorific "Sir").

DeBaser reviews celebrate Elton John's early-1970s peak: piano-led songwriting, strong voice and studio/live performances. Reviewers repeatedly highlight his partnership with Bernie Taupin and several canonical albums. Many 1980s records are judged weaker; later works and live albums earned praise and occasional renaissances.
