    This performance of ‘Your Song’ was Elton’s second appearance on Top Of The Pops, airing on January 14th 1971. This was just one week before the song became his first-ever entry on the UK Singles Chart. Taken from Elton’s eponymous second UK album, the now classic ballad peaked at #7 and spent 10 weeks inside the Top 40. This performance, recorded at the BBC Television Centre, features band members Nigel Olsson on drums and Dee Murray on bass.

    It was the first song recorded in a cassete that i gave my girlfriend 33 years ago.
    Now I am 57 and she passed away, she left last weekend. I miss her but I still have this song alive here with me. RIP Cassia.

I copied down the words and mailed it in a box with this song the first cut on my mix tape of songs for her. I worked her Visa, she came to California, we built that house, 4 daughters and 5 grandchildren and 35 years later THIS SONG has always been in our house.

    Telling my age here, but when I was in college, I had a boyfriend that was a DJ for a radio station. My college was about 2 and a half hours from where he worked, but if I sat on my dorm room window ledge with my radio antenna pointed out, I could pick him up. Every night between 9-10 he would play a song that I knew was just for me. This was the one he played the most often.

    I remember seeing him when I was 11 years old. My big sister took me to my first concert and it just happened to be this song that I fell in love with. Thank God for big sisters ❤

    My dad rarely sings yet he loved singing to this song. I played this for him every night while he was battling for his life in the ICU. I miss him everyday.
