George Huff - Take Me to the Pilot
Camille Velasco - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (heard it once before but I liked it more after she sang it)

I think Alone is the only one. I already had Love is a Battlefield, and I had heard Independence Day 500 times before.

Oh Jack - you HAVE to listen to Elton's earlier stuff - the Goodbye Yellow Brick road and Captain Fantastic were my favorite albums of his. I know you'll love the stuff!

I HAD to download "At Last" from AI 2003. I just LOVE that song now - and her's and Etta James version's are the best!

I'll be buying Constantine's band, Pray For The Soul Of Betty soon and looking for ANYTHING he puts out. His song might be over, but his medley is going to live on! ;)

You should check out Martina McBride's version of the song. I was blown away when I first heard it.
