Elton John

At the iconic Live Aid concert on July 13, 1985, Elton John delivered a powerful performance of "I'm Still Standing" that resonated with a global audience. Just prior to this live recording, Elton had released his album "Breaking Hearts" in 1984, which included hits that showcased his signature blend of rock and pop. Interestingly, this performance came during a pivotal moment in his career, as he was experiencing a resurgence after overcoming personal struggles. The concert itself was a monumental event, uniting artists to raise funds for famine relief in Ethiopia. It wasn't just a show; it was a testament to the spirit of the 80s, and Elton's infectious energy and resilience during this performance brilliantly captured that ethos.
