Elton John Advocates for Recognition of Unsung Keyboard Legends

Elton John calls for greater appreciation of 1960s keyboard players who have been overshadowed by guitar icons.

  • Elton John highlights the lack of recognition for keyboard players from the 1960s, despite their significant contributions to music.
  • He cites musicians like Brian Auger, Graham Bond, and Ian Stewart as pivotal yet underappreciated figures in rock history.
  • John contrasts the enduring fame of guitarists like Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page with the obscurity of equally talented keyboardists.
  • He reminisces about his own early career experiences and the influence of these keyboard pioneers on his music.
  • Elton's call for recognition follows the recent passing of Zoot Money, a notable figure from the 1960s club scene.
