With Lyrics Scribbled On Some Paper, Watch Elton John Compose 'Tiny Dancer' In 1970

November 26, 2017

This is footage from 1970 of Elton John rehearsing a new song that his friend Bernie Taupin had written about his girlfriend. "Tiny Dancer" was released two years later on Elton's fourth album, Madman Across the Water — and the rest is history.

Watching Elton talk through his plans for the song is incredible to watch.
