Elton John Album: “Something About the Way You Look Tonight/Candle in the Wind 1997/You Can Make History (”

I think a couple of the reviewers here have missed the point. And regardless of what they think, I know that Diana would have been very touched by this re-writing of Candle in the Wind. Especially seeing that all the artist and composer royalties and record company profits from the sale of this cd will be donated to the Princess of Wales Memorial Fund. It's a beautiful song, and the words are just right, and this song does deserve to go down in history, which it certainly will.

The cd that I have though, not only has "Candle in the Wind 1997" and "Something about the way you look tonight", but it also has "You can make history (Young again)" on it. I'm not sure if it's just an oversight by ..., but maybe the one here does too and it's just not listed.

This single topped the charts to make history, turned a great Elton John melody into the hit he always wished it was ("Candle In The Wind/Live" never made a splash) and is an emotional tribute to his best friend. Princess Diana was 'one-of-a-kind' and this is the perfect tribute. It's tough to listen to at times.

Songs as brilliantly executed, as deserved by one of the Most Beloved Creatures, conceived to put her heart at the service of Love to Humanity.

It has almost been 10 years since Elton John and the whole world lost the dynamic Princess Diana. The death still remains a heartbreaking blow for so many people. Yet, for Elton his re-written edition of Candle In The Wind 1997, still remains tha highest-selling single of all time. The written version for Diana's memory was re-issued overseas, and still shows Elton delivering the somber and mellow song, while reflecting on a influential friend. I still cry everytime I listen to this song. The double single also includes Something About The Way You Look Tonight, Elton's other #1 smash from his 1997 record The Big Picture. If you haven't heard these songs before, get this single if you can, and keep Diana's candle alive.
