Woodside

How long has Elton been at Old Windsor and did he name that home Woodside? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.197.221.222 (talk) 04:11, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Another movie

In addition to Almost Famous and Mona Lisa Smile, The movie Oh Heavenly Dog, which starred Jane Seymour and Chevy Chase, included Elton's song Return to Paradise, from the A Single Man album.--DorothyBrousseau 01:59, 13 January 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dorothybrousseau (talk • contribs)

studio albums

I added the studio albums only because I find myself constantly going through the EJ article to find his albums. Going through the discography is inefficient and more for the discophiles who are interested in his studio albums and singles and extra-studio work. His studio albums are notable enough to appear on their own, and there are so many, it's nice to see them crunched together. The table on the discography is so spread out, it's difficult to get a feeling for the bulk of his output. –Kerαunoςcopia^◁_galaxies 01:14, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Retro Photos

I noticed there are no photos from EJ's early days showing his flamboyant style, crazy glasses, outfits, etc. Long before glam-rockers and current artists fashion. He was a pioneer regarding that, in my opinion. I'm sure that's documented somewhere as well. Even while celebrating his 50th and 60th birthdays, he wore unique "uniforms". Just an idea to add some older pictures of him to the article accordingly. 69.129.170.102 (talk) 20:15, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
