Elton John

In 1998, just before this live performance of 'Great Balls of Fire' in New York, Elton John had recently released his acclaimed album, 'The Big Picture.' This album, which came out in 1997, included hits such as 'Something About the Way You Look Tonight' and marked a period where Elton was reflecting on his career and personal life. Interestingly, during this live show, he performed solo, showcasing his unique ability to captivate an audience with just his piano and voice. It's worth noting that this performance was part of a special event for CitiBank employees, highlighting Elton's ongoing relationship with corporate events while also embracing his roots in rock and roll. His rendition of Jerry Lee Lewis' classic perfectly encapsulates the energy and charisma that defines his career.
