It’s time for another edition of Number One in our Hearts where we breakdown a classic song that was so great it should’ve been a number one hit but for reasons at the time, it fell short… This is one of those songs that will surprise many, since the artist had numerous #1s and this one seems like it would be a no brainer…
In 1970, Elton John and Bernie Taupin were in the early stage of their emergence as one of the most prolific songwriting teams in music history. After some very promising, but commercially limited singles in early ’70, the collaboration had a major breakthrough with “Your Song” off Elton’s self-titled second studio Album.
“Your Song” was a beautiful ballad that Bernie wrote while sitting at a kitchen table in Elton’s mother’s apartment in the Northwood Hills area of metro London. The song was a smash- busting into the Top 10 in many countries, including the UK, where it rose to #7, and #8 on the Billboard Hot 100 in America. Despite the success of “Your Song,” the dynamic duo were a few years away from their superstar status, where any song they released was given the benefit of a doubt, and rushed into heavy rotation.
