Something About The Way You Look Tonight / Candle In The Wind 1997

Elton John's 1997 CD single pays a moving tribute to the tragically deceased Princess Diana through a new, adapted version of the legendary song "Candle In The Wind", which was originally dedicated to Marilyn Monroe. The lyrics were reworked for this occasion by his long-time collaborator Bernie Taupin to perfectly suit that sad historical moment. This extremely emotional performance, which Elton performed live only at her funeral in Westminster Abbey, instantly won the hearts of millions of people around the world and became officially the best-selling physical single in the entire history of the modern music industry.

In addition to the aforementioned dedication, this double A-side release also brings the beautiful love ballad "Something About The Way You Look Tonight", which best emphasizes the distinctive piano expression, vocal maturity and melody for which this excellent British singer-songwriter is recognized worldwide. The combination of these two songs creates a rare balance between deep sadness, memories and top-notch pop art that goes beyond the usual framework of discographic releases of the time, attracting a wide range of different listeners and confirming the high authorial standard.

Top-notch studio production and a huge humanitarian character - since all proceeds from the sale of this release were directed to charity for the Princess Diana Memorial Foundation - give this release invaluable historical and deep emotional value. As a physical CD release, it represents a unique collector's artifact that permanently celebrates Elton John's musical genius and at the same time preserves the eternal memory of the beloved princess, making it an indispensable part of any serious music collection.
