Elton John

In December 1986, Elton John delivered a stunning performance of "I Need You To Turn To" with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra at the Sydney Entertainment Centre. This live recording came shortly after the release of his album "Leather Jackets" in 1986, which, while not his most commercially successful, showcased his creative evolution during the mid-80s. This was a unique period for Elton, as he explored different musical collaborations and experimented with sounds. The combination of his emotive piano work and the rich orchestral arrangements in this performance added layers of depth to the song, making it truly memorable. Did you know that around this time, Elton also gained attention for his philanthropic work? His passion for charity, particularly around AIDS awareness, flourished in these years, marking a significant chapter in his career, both musically and personally.
