This is one of a series of caches in tribute to one of the longest running songwriting duos ever. Elton John and Bernie Taupin have been creating music for parts of six decades now. One of the first dates with my now wife was an Elton John concert. And one of the things that I have recently knocked off my bucket list was a visit to Las Vegas to see Elton in his Million Dollar Piano show at Caesar's Palace. Elton no longer performs there, and now has embarked on his three year touring finale before retiring from the road.
I thought that using the studio albums as cache names would provide good variety in this series.
This is the twenty sixth studio album recorded and released by Elton John in September of 1997. Popular singles from this album include Live Like Horses (an interesting duet with Luciano Pavarotti), and Something About The Way You Look Tonight". In 2006, John revealed in an interview that Bernie Taupin, his longtime friend and lyricist, considers this his least favorite album they have created, while John believes that to be Leather Jackets from 1986. Taupin dislikes this album because "the production is abysmally cold and technical". The album was dedicated to John's friend, popular fashion designer Gianni Versace, who was murdered a few months before the album's release.
