Cat Stevens & Elton John

[surfered]

Father and Son - Cat Stevens from the album Tea for the Tillerman released in 1970. Stevens sings in a deeper register for the father's lines, while using a higher one for those of the son.

Elton John - Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters from the Album Honky Chateau released in 1972. The song was inspired by lyricist Bernie Taupin hearing a gun go off near his hotel window on his first visit to New York.

2. My pleasure. I got Tea for the Tillerman album at the time, but not Honky Chateau, lthough I have several Elton John

3. I lived in NYC for a year with the EJ song in my head

“They know not if it’s dark outside or light “. Thanks, Taupin — you gave perfect voice to my feeling overwhelmed the entire time.

4. Taupin wrote some great stuff and Elton came up with great melodies. Tumbleweed Connection is my favorite
