If it is often said that Bernie Taupin wrote the lyrics to Your Song on the roof of 20 Denmark Street, where his friend Elton John worked as an office worker, it is not so. The writer simply brought the lyrics to Elton John while he was still living with his mother in an old residence in Northwood Hills in North West London. First recorded by the band Three Dog Night, it became an international hit when Elton John released it on his second studio effort, helping to make him a worldwide star. It is one of his most popular and covered songs to date.
