Underneath fame and celebrity is often a prodigious talent that people forget is there. There’s not a popular younger artist today I can imagine being able to do this. Well, Jacob Collier obviously. But not many others. There’s a wonderful little known doco from Elton’s earliest years, where he did a tour of Russia with only a piano and percussionist (Ray Cooper). Lots of this sort of spontaneity on that, again, a prodigious talent.
