YOU CAN TELL EVERYBODY
THIS IS YOUR SONG
Elton John
is the second
studio album
by English
singer-songwriter
It was released on
April,10th 1970
through DJM Records.
Including John's
breakthrough single
"Your Song",
the album
helped establish
his career
during the rise
of the
singer-songwriter era
of popular music.
In the US,
Elton John
was certified gold
in February 1971
by the RIAA.
In the same year,
it was nominated for
the Grammy Award
for Album of the Year
at the 13th
Annual Grammy Awards.
In 2003,
the album was ranked
number 468
on
Rolling Stone magazine's
list of the
500 greatest albums
of all time.
On November,27th 2012,
it was inducted into
the Grammy Hall of Fame
as an album
cited as exhibiting
"qualitative or historical significance".
Production
This was the first
of a string of
John albums
produced by
Gus Dudgeon.
As Dudgeon recalled in a
Mix magazine interview,
the album was not
actually intended to
launch John
as an artist,
but rather as a
collection of
polished demos
for other artists
to consider recording
his and co-writer
Bernie Taupin's songs.
Two songs from the album
did find their way into
the repertoire of
other artists in 1970:
"Your Song"
was recorded by
Three Dog Night
as an album track
on their LP
It Ain't Easy,
while
Aretha Franklin
released a cover of
"Border Song"
as a single that reached
number 37
in the US pop charts
and number 5
on the R&B chart,
later included on her
1972 album
Young, Gifted and Black.
