Unbelievable how he could take lyrics from Bernie and craft a song. This one is possibly my favorite and I loved it in Almost Famous.

It's 1970. Elton John pulls out a crumpled sheet of paper and plays "Tiny Dancer" (my all-time favourite song) for the first time in front of his lyricist, Bernie Taupin, and Taupin’s wife, Maxine, who inspired the song.
