I have to discuss a really important fact about the 90's career of Mr. Elton John despite me heavily ignoring that very same fact, i.e. he achieved a lot then thanks to a soundtrack for a Disney blockbuster and his tribute song to Diana. The latter remains one of the biggest selling singles, though I don't intend to discuss the piece, I'm more interested in the flipside of the record. Yes, the tune is from The Big Picture, which I already mentioned as one of his 90's LPs that continued with his development during the time. However, I fear the disc got lost in the shuffle thanks to the whole Diana business and I still don't think you hear the platter that much in the retrospectives of his work. Sadly, I might add, since the collection of tunes might be one of his more consistent ones.
