Hi All,
I know that Karen knew Elton John. They were one of many of the 1970's biggest performers. What has Elton publicly said about Karen, her voice, her talent? I think they used to go to parties and bump into each other, and then after the fall out with Neil Sedaka, they didn't see each other that much...

Hi Cam.
Why did the fall out with NS affect the relationship with KC and EJ? Was he a friend of NS?
Cannot see why this should affect their friendship...

Hi,
I think that Neil and Elton were friends, and afterwards, the whole Carpenter/Sedaka incident caused Elton to not really like the Carpenters, from what I have heard...but I could be wrong. Elton did appear on the Heartache Tonight special of Olivia Newton-John...and Karen was there, with Peaches, Tina Turner, Toni Tennille, Andy Gibb...

Neil recorded on elton's Rocket label in the mid 70's.
a duet of Karen and Elton doing Don't Go Breaking My Heart would have been neat.

Hi All, Thom is Spot On .....Elton John Loved Neil Sedaka's Early Hits / Work and After Sedaka's UK Album / Concerts Success in 1970's Decided to Support / Issue Sedaka on Rocket Records in USA / Canada. Laughter In The Rain was #1 USA Single Early 1975 and Despite this Comeback -Elton and Sedaka's Managers Wanted Higher Profile and More Album Success .....So Idea of Linking Sedaka With Carpenters -Top Worldwide Artists was Born ......  From This Came Richard's Decision to Arrange the Strings on Sedaka's Great Slow -Jazzified Version of Breaking Up Is Hard To Do ...... ;D Still Hope Richard and Karen Have a Demo ? or Live Version of Ballad Breaking Up In the Archives ....Something We Need To Listen To ;D Peter |

I can't imagine that big queen not loving Miss Karen, even if he put on a show during the sedaka HUNGRY years.
