;DOf all the many hits Elton John has had which would you have like to hear the C's record? My choice would be "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me". The lyrics are excellent, Doug Strawn could add a mesmerizing sax solo and it's the type of song that Karen could really dig into and make her own. I also think "Harmony" would have been perfect for K&R.

I am not a big Elton fan and don't know a lot of his music, but I think "Can you feel the love tonight" from the Lion King would be perfect for Karen. There is another song, not sure of the title, that says something like..."sorry seems to be the hardest word.." It seems to be a more introspective song that would fit Karen perfectly.

good question...I have always liked Elton..and Don't let the sun go down...would really be beautiful to hear and my first thought was (and the song you're thinking of Moe) is titled "Your Song" and Crocodile Rock would be a fun one too.

Hi all, it's been a while since I've posted here. I was out of town visiting family in Northern California. The songs from THE LION KING would be great for Karen both Can You Feel The Love Tonight and Circle Of Life. I'm Still Standing would be a fun upbeat number. Also the classic of classics Candle In The Wind would be awesome. Moe - The song you're thinking of is called Sorry Seems To Be the Hardest Word. It's from 75 or 76.

hi Boats2Sail...good to hear again from you and hope you had a good trip. Your right about the song...Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word...
Moe, gave you wrong info. about the song...sorry, I haven't heard that song in a while and R. and K. could do so well with all those songs mentioned. Their harmonies would be so fantastic on all of those.

All these songs sound good I would have liked to hear Karen sing Daniel or even duet with Elton on Don't Go Breaking My Heart (sorry Kiki Dee). The Lion King song would also be good. Its too bad Karen did not live long enough to be tied in to a Disney film I'm sure eventually they would have teamed up in that capacity and its a natural pairing; Disney and Karen.

I think a great one would be "Blessed". I really like that song and reading the words to it make me think of things Karen would say too.

I;ve seen Elton John twice in concert (once with Kiki Dee ). From GOODBYE YELLOW BRICK ROAD I believe "I've Seen That Movie, Too" would have been perfect for Karen: ....so save your audition for someboday who hasn't got so much to lose....'cause you can tell by the lines I'm reciting....that I've Seen That Movie, Too....

Karen and Elton would be great together on Don't Go Breaking My Heart. That was one of my favorite songs in the mid 70's.
