The colorful and kaleidoscopic life of one of the world's most original and talented musical artists.
What The Reviewers Say
So does the world need another Elton John biography? So compelling and entertaining is prolific pop music biographer Bego’s portrait that the answer is in the affirmative.
Bego tells a gripping story of the musician’s escalating fame and fortune.
Though Mr. Bego claims to be a rock and roll 'purist' his book has songs attached to the wrong album, songs attributed to the wrong songwriter and lyricists misidentified as songwriters...horrible typos...swaths of reviews quoted as if to fill a word count. Language seems alien to Mr. Bego...and his English is tortured.
... [a] fawning set of fan’s notes.
