At number fourteen it's one of the worlds favourite and most flamboyant performers.
14 ELTON JOHN
Born Reginald Dwight on 25th March 1947 in Pinner, Middlesex, England. Elton John’s position as one of the world’s biggest stars is confirmed by the fact that he is amongst the top five performers on both sides of The Atlantic. As a songwriter he has few equals and along with his lyricist Bernie Taupin they have created some of pop music’s finest moments, including Candle In The Wind, which when rewritten for the funeral of Diana Princess Of Wales became the biggest selling single in history. Occasionally he has written with others but few could disagree that it is with Taupin that his finest moments have been achieved.
