Elton John - Your Song

Your Song is a song composed and recorded by English musician Elton John, which later appeared on his 1970 self-titled second studio album.

English poet Bernie Taupin wrote its lyrics.

The song was first released by American rock band Three Dog Night in early 1970 on their third studio album, It Ain’t Easy.

Later that year, John released his pop rendition as a single, specifically on October 26, 1970.

His version peaked at Number 8 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and a step higher at Number 7 on the UK Singles chart. Its highest peak was at Number 3 on the Canada Top Singles chart.

The song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1998 and 6 years later in 2004, it ranked at Number 137 on Rolling Stone‘s list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

It has also been covered by numerous artists, notably Ellie Goulding, whose version reached an impressive Number 2 on the UK Singles Chart.
