Climb to Fame

“Your Song,” from Elton John, was a number that Bernie wrote in fifteen minutes at Elton's mother's breakfast table in Frome Court. The song, released in January 1971, hit the world and rocked listeners. Within only a week of its release, it was number seven on Britain's charts and simultaneously brought Elton John into the American top ten. “Your Song” is actually Elton and Bernie's most popular song to date, as famous as the incredibly popular Beatles' song “Yesterday.”
