Sir Elton John shows his variety of musical talents doing vocals, piano, electric piano, organ, Farfisa organ, Mellotron and keyboards! That's why it is considered Sir John's ultimate masterpiece. John's and Taupin's primary hits are included in this rock-legend package. The rock song "All The Girls Love Alice" is one of the 80's most overt odes to lesbianism. This was also unique considering the social tensions between gay men and woman during the time of the song's creation.

Now that it is later in his life, in hindsight, it's ever so easy to see how Sir Elton John uses his music to strive to bridge and disclose social love gaps.
