Elton John

Can glittery glasses and a bright piano change the world? Elton John did! Born Reginald 'Reggie' Dwight in 1947, he's a British singer, pianist, and songwriter who became a superstar in the 1970s. Today we'll focus on his music and his big, colorful shows — the songs and performances that people of all ages still love.

He wrote famous songs like 'Your Song', 'Rocket Man', 'Tiny Dancer', and 'Crocodile Rock' — tunes that tell stories and stick in your head. Elton has sold over 300 million records around the world, won many awards (including Grammys and an Oscar for The Lion King), and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He also turned concerts into bright, joyful parties and wrote music for movies and stage shows that families love.

Beyond music, he used his fame to help others. He started the Elton John AIDS Foundation, which has raised millions to help people who are sick. He was knighted by the Queen for his services to music and charity. Elton's life shows how music, courage, and kindness can change lives. His songs still play on radios, in movies, and at celebrations — when you hear one you might feel braver, happier, or ready to dance. That's Elton's magic.
