On Elton John: An Opinionated Guide by Matthew Restall (Hardcover)

On Elton John by historian Matthew Restall takes a serious yet readable look at the career and music of one of pop and rock's great survivors. Rather than another standard biography, it places Elton John within the work of other artists and the sweeping cultural changes of his six decades in music. Each of the ten chapters centers on one of his songs, explores its pop culture history and builds a clear argument.
