An Elton John/Bernie Taupin composition, the copyright was registered in April 1968. This acetate has Elton on vocals and piano with a backing band but no orchestral overdubs. An unreleased version of this song, believed to be the first cover of an EJ/BT composition, exists by the Young Brothers, whose members were Paul Young and Frank Renshaw. The pair had previously been in The Toggery Five, who had a couple of unsuccessful singles on Parlophone in 1964/65 and whose lineup at one time included Mick Abrahams and Clive Bunker, later of Jethro Tull.
