Madman Across the Water

Highly Appreciated

MADMAN ACROSS THE WATER
 
 
Madman Across the Water  is the fourth studio album by Elton John, released in 1971 through DJM and Uni Records.  (More from Wikipedia)
 
 

Bernie Taupin though was living in Lincolnshire in eastern England.  As I saw once on a television program, Taupin would send Elton John lyrics for a new song, and he would then write the music for it.  The program showed the lyrics for “Tiny Dancer” that Elton had just gotten in the mail, and he mentioned some early ideas for the song and how he went about writing music.  Tiny Dancer became a hit single and was included on Elton John’s fourth album, Madman Across the Water (1971).
