“Let The Heartaches Begin” #1 UK

This week's British #1 from Long John Baldry (he was 6'7") that only got to #88 in America. Supposedly, he sounded good on the record by consuming most of a bottle of Courvoisier cognac before and during the session. His ex-pianist, Reg Dwight, took his future stage name from Elton Dean of Baldry’s group and from Baldry himself. Depending on the account, Long John talked EJ either out of marrying a woman for the wrong reasons, or out of a suicide attempt. Elton John would later co-write "Someone Saved My Life Tonight" with Bernie Taupin as a thank you.
