Description

"Love Songs" is essentially a greatest hits album released in 1996 in the guise of a concept compilation. A better title would have been "Ballads," as not all of these really qualify as love songs. Regardless, the song selection is superb, spanning Elton's entire career (to that point) and evoking fond emotional responses listen after listen.

Even if you're one who doesn't normally pick up compilation LPs, it's a good one to have for the two "Lion King" recordings, plus the two previously unreleased compositions "You Can Make History (Young Again)" and "No Valentines." Overall, a wonderfulmore… collection of classic ballads for any collection. No matter who you are, you probably love some of these (and even know a few by heart).

A parting word - the 4/29/04 review by "A music fan" is the kind of stuff that makes me fume. Of course you mind, or else you wouldn't have found that a news flash-worthy item. To our informative friend: Elton John was not fully aware of his true sexuality until the late 80s/early 90s, and so a good many of these were not written about "gay love" at all. For instance, "Daniel" was about a Vietnam vet who wanted to escape the attention of being a war hero. Others yet were written for a film ("Can You Feel the Love Tonight," "Circle of Life"), about the artist's joy in creating music ("Blessed"), or about being rescued from a suicide attempt by a true friend ("Someone Saved My Life Tonight"). Please know what you're talking about before you give us such a note-worthy warning again.
