Friday Music

Written and composed by British musician Elton John and songwriter Bernie Taupin this piece became John's firt international Top 10 Single.

It was first released by the band Three Dog Night in 1970 as John was opening for the band in those days and allowed then to record it.  TDN did not release the song as a single - deferring that to John as the original composer and emerging talent.

The original Elton John version was recorded at Trident Studios in London in 1970 and was released in April of that year. 

The tune is included on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 songs that shaped Rock and Roll.

One of my personal favorites from the era that I came of age.

Your Song.....
