In reply to the discussion: What is your favorite Elton John song? [View all]Bertha Venation
(21,484 posts)39. Elaine Stritch! I'd've loved to see that!
The only time I ever heard it was when Shirley MacLaine did it in "Postcards From the Edge." That one line is the story of my life.
Great song. I love Sondheim.

This one. Reminds me of a very specific time in my life, the fall of 1983 when it came out.

I haven't been an Elton John fan since around '72 or so... when he headed in the pop direction.
