Dolly Parton and Elton John Perform Turn The Lights Out When You Leave Live at CMA 2005
In November 2005, during the Country Music Association Awards, Elton John performed 'Turn The Lights Out When You Leave' alongside the legendary Dolly Parton. This appearance came right after the release of his studio album 'The Captain & the Kid,' which celebrated his earlier works while also showcasing his evolution as an artist. It's intriguing to note that at this point in his career, Elton was not only revered for his piano-driven pop hits but also for his ability to seamlessly blend genres—this collaboration with Parton highlights that versatility beautifully. Additionally, Elton's star power was strong in the 2000s, with a string of successful performances and new music that continued to resonate, which is particularly evident in this memorable live moment.
