Elton John : Elton John (Deluxe Edition)

YOU CAN TELL EVERYBODY

THIS IS YOUR SONG

 Elton John

 is the second

 studio album 

by English 

singer-songwriter

 Elton John

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.
