Editorial Review:
Grammy winner for "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" from Disney's 1994 blockbuster movie The Lion King, Elton John is a musician who has transcended generations. Since his U.S. debut 26 years ago, E.J. has had a top-40 hit every year. This first reference dedicated to the legendary singer/songwriter, who has been enchanting fans for nearly three decades, contains hundreds of anecdotes on people, places, and things related to his career. It includes a behind-the-scenes look at every album, a comprehensive list of all songs written or recorded (dozens never released), and the most extensive look ever at E.J.'s pre-career life. This well-researched volume offers a gold mine of Elton John trivia gathered by one of the artist's premier historians and the editor of the international Elton John fan magazine East End Lights. Fans and popular music buffs will enjoy the comprehensive treatment more than a quarter century since Elton John's U.S. debut.
Rocket Man: Elton John From A-Z Reviews:
Claude is sexy!!!

BEST BOOK OUT THERE ON ELTON JOHN
2005-09-07 - Dates,songs,eras in Elton's career;it's all here.
The author who did research on this book,Claude Bernardin,did an outstanding job.His research was relentless.
I prefer this book to many others because it is an encyclopedia type book and facts are easily found.
Alot of information on unreleased songs, which is my favorite part of the book.
I recommend this book to all Elton John enthusiasts.
It is a book you must have in your library if you are a die hard Elton John fan.
There's A Mistake 
2004-01-05 - While the book is a fun read with Elton facts in alphbetical order, this is a mistake in the book that has just bugged me for a while. The two authors, especially one of them, is known as a major Elton historian. Why then, did he make the mistake?. The error in question is this - In describing the "Honky Chateau" album, it was stated that "Rocket Man" and "Honky Cat", the two singles off the album, were Elton's first top 10 singles?. Uh, sorry, but wrong. 2 years prior to this record, "Your Song" was a top 10 hit on the Billboard single charts. How can such a big historian make that mistake?.
Rock on rocket man
2001-06-19 - Mr.Bernardin has shared his wealth of knowledge on the subject of Elton John in a clear, concise and enjoyable format. I highly recommend the book to anyone who wants to know the all of Elton.
