Thanks to his longtime songwriting partner Bernie Taupin, a collection of today’s biggest music stars joined forces to create two tribute albums to music legend Elton John.
While Taupin curated one of the albums (titled ‘Restoration’), the 8-time Grammy winner organized the other (‘Revamp’) and tapped some of his former collaborators to lend their voices to the star-studded project. In addition to the likes of Ed Sheeran, Mary J. Blige, Miley Cyrus, P!nk, Sam Smith, and more, John’s favorite gal pal – Lady Gaga – brought her powerhouse vocals to his tune, ‘Your Song.’
The emotional, piano driven number shot to the Billboard Hot 100’s top 10 upon its 1970 arrival (eventually peaking at #8), but if you asked us Gaga’s spirited rendition deserves just as enthusiastic of a reception.
Never ceasing to amaze, get inside to hear ‘Your Song’ as delivered by Stefanie Germanotta:
This is one of my favorites from Elton, Gaga did a wonderful job, I prefer the original, it’s just one of those songs that are untouchable, I bet her version is one of the best on the album though.
Amazing!
I previewed the album on iTunes and the only covers that sound decent are Gaga and Florence.
