Elton John's 'Honky Chateau' (1972) - Does Diamond ride with the Rocketman?
Andrew introduces Diamond to Elton John with one of Elton's classic albums from the '70s, Honky Chateau.
While Elton and collaborator Bernie Taupin were widely regarded as hitmakers prior to 1972, Chateau marked a turning point in the duo's career, as the first of seven consecutive U.S. number one albums they co-authored from '72 - '75.
But more than 50 years after it hit number 1 on the pop charts, will Honky Chateau strike a chord with Diamond? Can Andrew pronounce Chateau without humiliating himself? Will "Rocketman" head back into orbit? Will we get a reasonable explanation for a song called "I Think I'm Going to Kill Myself"?
