Love him or hate him, there's no denying he is one of the greatest musicians we have ever known.
Why would anyone hate him?
Some people are born with such talent running through them!
@@malikashiqui . Because there are 8 billion people in this world, not all of them are going to be fans.
@@stevo68 But they have to be! It's the LAW.
He's a musical genius freak. He and Paul McCartney are in the same class.
His catalog of music is the soundtrack of my life.
Much respect that he acknowledged Brian Wilson.
Fantastic interview. I love Elton and grew up with his music. May God always bless his soul.
What a gift -- *thanks* for posting -- as someone who was a teenager when his music first appeared I can testify to how utterly unique and powerful it was -- now part of the fabric of music history.
Love to see this! Enjoy and feel free to check out the Unplugged and Me, Myself, and I documentary also on the channel. :)
Tumbleweed Connection is so overlooked.
Such a solid album!
Where to now St Peter. Beautiful music and lyrics 🎉
Probably my favourite.
My favorite. Finally got to see him play live. My first EJ concert was the last one he put on at Dodger Stadium. I stood up and sang Burn Down the Mission like an idiot!
This is maybe the best Elton John interview I’ve seen.
Thank you so much for adding this. I have searched for the full episode for YEARS without success until just now.
So happy to hear this and glad this gem is out there now!
This was truly magnificent!❤
Elton is simply a great piano player first, then a songwriter, and he happens also to have a wonderful singing voice. I absolutely love Elton John more than any other musician. I hear the classical influence in his music , which is what first attracted me to his piano playing. I hope he realizes how great he is and how much people love and admire his vast contribution to the world of music.
I think he realizes…😏
Oh, Elton, thank you for doing this. We’re so glad the Lord gave you sobriety, and that you added your fight to it. We admire your talent and skills. Thank you for your service to the world.
One of the pinnacle pianists of all time.
Thank you soooooo much for posting this! What a treasure
My pleasure! Knew this gem on my computer needed to be out there in the world :)
Thank you so much to the kindly soul who uploaded this; I am a Elton John and Bernie Taupin fanatic and ive been wanting to watch the whole thing for a long, long time! Id seen odd clips, border song, Daniel, and Honky Cat. However, not seen the whole interview. Thanks again!
Glad I found this video.
This is such an amazing program focusing on the brilliance of Elton John
100% agree!! ❤️
Have been a fan since 1970, seen him live twice. He's always been there, hope he's around for a long time yet.
Great and very interesting interweiw as always when James Lipton asks good questions. I often come back and look at Actors Studio, this one i've saved to look at more times.❤❤😍😍 What a great artist.
Glad you enjoyed! James Lipton is great and Sir Elton always has lots to say.
I was tearing up too.
One of the truly great artists of modern pop music....
He is one of my very favorites. I love him and his music so much. He is pure genius.
Thank you for this episode. It is the best.
*_A remastered person and born to win, Sir Elton John still standing after all this time. He's been the soundtrack of my entire life since early years and l'll love him and his music til'the end of times ! By the way, great Interview ! 🤗💓🇧🇷👊🙏_*
Truly a talented artist that has spanned many decades! ❤️
Loved this! Thanks 🙏
I absolutely enjoyed this tonight. I always love Lipton, but Sir Elton truly impressed me with his graciousness.
I always liked the emotional strings in LEVON
17/11/70. Greatest concert album ever.
Have you heard every concert album ever? I doubt that.
@@raymondoakford8357 I actually have heard every concert album ever. But now I've forgotten half of them, so I have to start over...
@@SpaceCattttt okay I’ll wait!
Absolutely!
I was lucky enough to Sir Elton in concert twice.
Elton - I'm pretty sure you practiced enough. I was fortunate enough to see him in a one man show - just him, no band - and he really was Captain Fantastic. Absolutely loved that show, really wish I could have seen him again before he retired. If the Peer Gynt thing doesn't prove to you that Elton is a genius, I don't think any evidence could convince you of anything.
Oh i've been longing to see this full one again. Many thanks for posting!
Should have had the piano closer ... you gave him a great walking workout! But what a fabulous interview. Thank you (both) for a wonderful time!
What a treat! Thank you for posting this. Great interview. Been a fan since 1970. Very autobiographical musically and personally. The only thing missing was that they didn’t talk about this 1984 marriage.
Interesting and valid observation
Big fan from the early ( best) days .. His interviews are always so honest
Wonderful! Thank you for posting. A real treasure
Best concert I even attended. Thanksgiving, 1974, Madison Square Garden…surprise guest John Lennon…
Wow, unforgetable I'm sure! ❤
Wow wow wow. Just 100% awesome
What a joy watching this!! Love you Elton ❤
Love the performance of Daniel here, so emotional paired with the request and story
❤️😢
Elton John ,,,is such a good person
A gifted musical genius.
Truly!
I didn't expect that at the end. I guess Elton wrote a song in every interview 🤣❤
😂 That could be a whole other unreleased album!!
I’m with you, Sir Elton. I could play piano but not well enough. But choir singing was my forte (ah….there it is). Put me in a choir and I’m happy as can be. Even to this day at 62 years of age.
Gifted.
Excellent show! Elton John rocks.
Love Elton❤
He is great.
Sir Elton John is Mozart and more. I grew up with him and his music. A gentleman who battled the demons of life and beat it. God bless him and his compassion.
Thank you Sir.
Alot of good memories
Love love love Elton. And Burney. Lion King!😊
I always refer to Elton as "my first musical love" because - on his birthday in 1975 - I was the correct caller to whatever rock station in DC, and was given my choice of his albums. I requested Greatest Hits, played it for a buddy (Innocent LIttle Davey Howie, lol) and we both became Elton addicts. Going forward, we bought different albums from his back catalog so we could share so both of us had access to all of his released material. Elton lifted me out of listening to adolescent marketed crapola like The Partridge Family. Oh, those magical days...
If you asked me for my favorite Elton track it would probably be Nikita or "Candle in the Wind* but the version for Diana. He has payed her the ultimate honor by never playing it live again. It's too tied to that one moment in time. To perform it again would cheapen that moment.
Genius...
the legend
As he said his dream came true when he played with (as he said) the greatest voice in twentieth century music Ray Charles on the great man’s very last recording.
Are you kidding me Loooooveve Elton John ❤ is Everything ❤ married to a Canad😂 great questioning 👍 protégé Brilliant i can sing almost everyword of everyone of your songs! Age 11 Wow sooo lucky you had the opportunity to live out your dreams! ❤
You know, if this whole performing thing doesn't work out for him, he'd be really good at running workshops on composition ;)
I think you’re on to something 🤣
Elton. John. Rock. God
The last few minutes shows what he is. It’s all natural. Instant recall of musical chord sequences and melody off the cuff and unique. His brain is wires this way and for him, it’s not work or hard, it’s the same as talking
Agreed, just a true born talent! Some people just have it!
Why have Elton John keep getting up and going to the piano just let him sit there and play and talk about how he writes his music 🎶, Brilliant writer and performer .Legendary writer of music .
Exactly! ... And 30 minutes on "Your Song" is about 20 minutes too much.
38:15 On top of all he's so damn funny!!
Looks like the original ads from the program in 2005...check out the crazy flip phones 😅
I was laughing about the ads
😂 I’m surprised the Housewives have been around that long.
I can tell this was originally broadcast in 2007 or possibly 2008 because of the commercials in it. The Beyoncé Armani Diamonds perfume ad was run in 07 & 08.
A generation that has zero originality....Didn't Elizabeth Taylor have a perfume baring her name called Diamonds? Yes, she did....
U guys pushed so hard upwards let the blessing comeback to u at the same speed thku❤❤
👏✨️👏✨️👏✨️
How to get a free concert from Elton Johb? Invite him to discuss his acting.
Thank you for posting this gem Do you have more videos from inside the actors studio?
I don't believe so but I will definitely post if I come across anymore. Cleaning out old computers, fun the stuff you find :)
Reggie thinking, "Ah James would just F**k off, I've just sat down!"
I agree. Lipton should have just gone over to the piano and done the interview there.
😂
I'm surprised when they did the Restoration album, which was an album of country musicians doing country versions of Elton John and Bernie Taupin songs, nobody thought to make Candle in the Wind a country song. You'd think they'd get Dolly Parton, Keith Urban, Lady Antebellum, Kenny Chesney, or Luke Combs to sing it. But no. Didn't happen.
Elton with Stevie Wander and Paul Mc Cartney are as big as Bach Mozart , Beethoven or Chopin
I saw him once in Lakeland,fl.after playing hit after hit after hit,he said, I've given you Everything,here are my pants...removing pants and throwing them into the audience
😳
I think I am on my 6th commercial ad before the next segment. Ridiculous.
It is worth it to me to pay AdBlock Plus to keep KZhead ad free.
just click to the next segment
Sir John, bookends with Robin W.
"All the great records we heard were Black Americans." Thank you for being one of the few white musicians to say this publicly.
He said “black music”. Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Brian Wilson were kinda on the White side.
@@philipbrigham981he also admires Ray Charles and Aretha Franklin who he worked with and she also recorded the song “Border Song” which was on his second album in 1970; “Elton John” he has spoken about Aretha the Queen of Soul in many interviews.
See some of us can play a useful role instead of wondering how Im Wasting my time❤❤🎉🎉
😊
I love Elton! One of my favorites! But WTF is he wearing???? Lol!
still think Taron should’ve won the Best Actor Academy Award for Rocketman
I'd enjoy this more if Mr. Lipton didn't keep insisting his guest constantly go back and forth between the interview chair and the piano. Personally, I'd rather hear the stories than the songs, which are readily available elsewhere.
my grandmother wore a nite gown like that
He grew up and went to privatw school but lived in government housing...Not possible in the US,but... Love EJ, however
What’s with the Ads…I lose count of the number of Ads….shame! N
why is a musician at the actors studio? i don't get it!
It is strange…
you want chalk or you want cheese?!
Thanks but there are commercials 😢
It's a great pity that Taylor Swift never got to do one of these. I think it would have been awesome.
Well,at least it was Johnny Walker Black...you couldn't do that with Cuddy...or J+B
😂
Great musician, but I don't know what this has to do with acting.
I certainly can see why Elton John was on 'Inside the Actor's Studio'. His list of movie credentials is quite impressive. Next they'll be inducting Stan Laurel into The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
I don't get the Laurel/RRHOF reference tho....
Can’t watch. Too many adverts. I pay premium to have no adds. This is dreadful
Your loss.
WTF does Elton John have to do with the 'Actor's Studio'?!?
He acted in the movie version of the rock opera “Tommy” as the Pinball Wizard. ❤
Ridiculous outfit
Elton John. The actor? WTF? As far as I know, he's only been in one film (Tommy) where he played the Pinball Wizard who..... .......sang a song. So where's the acting? What is going on here? Has the universe imploded this fine day?
Let's hope you never come across the ITAS show featuring Billy Joel.
@@ptownscribe1254 I have no idea what FTAS is. But as for Billy, I'm a big fan. I just regret that he stopped writing new songs so early in his career.
@@SpaceCattttt Sorry, I mistyped the letter "I." Regardless, Billy Joel is one what I believe are numerous musicians interviewed by James Lipton on In The Actors Studio.
The interviewer is annoying and pompous.
Why is he on his show? Is he an actor? Ridiculous.
I think he is an actor in a manner of speaking. Singing is acting with your voice. Even if he is not an actor by your definition, I think students in the Actors Studio would benefit from listening to a singer because they have to learn all kinds of skills to portray different characters.
Yes. Born to Boogie. TOMMY. The Muppet Show. Totally Minnie. Spice World. The Nanny. The Country Bears . . . and more 😂
From the Actors Studio, "The Actors Studio is both a place and a philosophy. It is an association of artists who, drawing from this common wellspring, have made enormous contributions to American art." I think he qualifies.
Is this the "Actors" Studio or the "Musicians" Studio?😮
