Review
?[Elton John's] fans will welcome this slim volume as a definitive fact finding tool. Want to know about those funky frames the Elton wears on stage? The entry under 'Glasses' gives the entire history. Can't remember which album 'Philadephia Freedom' was on? Every song that Elton has recorded and information about it is included in the song section...highly recommended for public libraries...?-Library Journal

Product Description
Grammy winner for "Can You Feel the Love Tonight?" from Disney's 1994 blockbuster movie "The Lion King", Elton John is a musician that has transcended generations. Since his US debut 25 years ago, he has had a top-40 hit every year. This reference dedicated to the singer/songwriter, who has been enchanting fans for nearly three decades, contains hundreds of anecdotes on people, places, and things related to his career. It includes a behind-the-scenes look at every album, a list of songs ever written or recorded (dozens never released), and an extensive look at Elton John's pre-career life. There are four sections to this encyclopedia: Elton A-Z, featuring explanations, details, and anecdotes related to aspects of his career and life, with entries on celebrity friends, important places, and other topics; a chronological, behind-the-scenes look at his more than 35 albums up to and including 1995's "Believe"; performances, listing his concert tours year by year, highlighting major performances such as John Lennon's final stage appearance in a 1974 show, a 1979 concert in Russia, and a little-publicised 1988 tribute; and songs, listing alphabetically more than 500 songs recorded or written by Elton John.

5.0 out of 5 stars "A-Z" should become a book series!, 1 Dec 1998
By A Customer
I don't know whether there is copyright over a book "format", but I really think "...from A to Z" should become a book series, like "The Complete Guide to the Music of..." This is easily the best reference book ever published about a single artist. It is divided in three parts: the "A-Z" itself (the entries are quite informative and comprehensive), albums (in-depth reviews and reference to alternate versions of songs) and songs (where they can be found in Elton's discography). If only all reference books were like this... That's why I suggest that this format become a series. What about "David Bowie from A-Z"?

5.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining, behind-the-scene stories, 24 Jan 1997
By A Customer
I'm a big Elton fan, and this book is the best of those focusing on Elton's music and performances. The behind-the-scenes stories are entertaining, and the research is impressive.
