Elton John: The '80s
Apple Music
Elton John's hit-making prowess continued unabated in the MTV era—inspired by New Wave and post-disco club music, he streamlined his songwriting by adding synthesisers to the mix. The aptly titled “I'm Still Standing” finds John in full-blown dance pop mode, while “I Guess That's Why They Call It the Blues” is punchy soul that beautifully displays the art of tough yet tender singing.
