Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Whether he's collaborating with longtime lyricist Bernie Taupin or other songwriters (such as his Lion King partner, Tim Rice) Elton John has written and performed some of the most cherished love songs in the pop-music canon. This career-spanning retrospective spotlights that particular aspect of his artistry, focusing on classics such as "Your Song", "Believe", "The One", "Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word", and "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me". The album takes a rather expansive view of the concept--there are also tracks here such as "Daniel", which is less a love song than a tribute to a wounded war veteran, and a live take of "Candle in the Wind", which, kiddies, was once a song about Marilyn Monroe, not Princess Diana. John's Lion King triumphs--"Can You Feel the Love Tonight" and "Circle of Life"--are included, as are a pair of new tracks, "You Can Make History (Young Again)" and "No Valentines". The album may stray from the topic a bit, but there's little doubt that these songs are among his most essential. --Daniel Durchholz

This is absolutely brilliant. From one of the most loved singers of all time. This album has everything, it has the all time classics such as "don't let the sun go down on me" and "candle in the wind" as well as the little known songs such as "Blessed" and "Pleased".
My favourite song on this album and also one of my favourite ever songs has to be "Sacrifice". This song is almost the perfect song, one to listen to if you want to relax or even to get you through all the lonely nights! "Your song" also has to be one of the all time greats. This album also brought me the song "the one" this is absolutely brilliant and if you listen to the words you can really relate to it. There aren't really any bad songs on this cd it is almost perfect although I have never really liked "Blue Eyes" together with all the other songs it is growing on me. If you like Elton John you have to have this album just because it holds all of his best songs. Or if you have never really listened to him then this is the album to begin with, you'll be hooked, I promise.
This is definately one for your record collection so if you haven't already got it, then what are you waiting for !!!

After purchasing this CD, I have to say that It is one of the best Elton John Collections yet. The CD Features a wide range of different songs, from famous ones such as "Candle in the Wind", and "Circle of Life", but also features amazing classics, my favorite of these is "Song For Guy".
An amazing compilation of Elton John to be listened to over and over again.
