Music > Singles > Elton John - Candle in the Wind 1997 (2007) Retail CD
added on June 18, 2007, at 20:47 by z-music

The biggest selling single of all time but it sold more on public grief than any actual merit it possessed. Viewed from a distance of three and a half years `Candle In The Wind 97` sounds slightly tacky, with Bernie Taupin's lyrics deliberately waving an onion under the tearducts. However it is still a potent reminder of the time when one woman's death affected an entire nation. `Something About The Way You Look Tonight`, was double A sided with the charity recording and got a lot of deserved flak for putting Elton's latest single on a parity with Diana's death. The fact that this was an uninspired song promoting a weak album didn't help. Believe it or not the B side, `You Can Make History Young Again` is actually the best thing here.
