Elton John's original piano & vocal demo. The song was written around the time songs for "Madman Across the Water" were written. Elton designated the song for Long John Baldry at the time, as he was producing his album "It Ain't Easy." Elton not only produced it but also played piano. The band for that session was Hookfoot. Elton recorded his own version of the song with Gus Dudgeon producing, at the time of the "Madman" sessions, but it was not included on the album. That version was finally released on "Rare Masters" in 1992.
