The story behind the song

"Your Song" was written by Elton John and lyricist Bernie Taupin. It was first released by Three Dog Night in March 1970 as an album track, as John was an opening act for the band at the time and allowed them to record it. John's version was recorded in January 1970 and appeared in April as the first cut on his self-titled second studio album. It was released in the United States in October 1970 as the B-side to "Take Me to the Pilot," but disc jockeys preferred "Your Song," leading it to become the A-side. This song was John's first international Top 10 chart single and was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1998.
