DESCRIPTION:
On the 1970 album "Tumbleweed Connection." The lyricist Bernie Taupin suggested that Ray Williams, the man who introduced Elton and Bernie, name his daughter Amoreena. He did, and Taupin then wrote this song. The song was also used in the opening of the film "Dog Day Afternoon." On the album, it was the first recording of Elton backed by Dee Murray and Nigel Olsson, who were already touring with him as a live band. Caleb Quaye played guitar and Elton added organ.
Produced by Gus Dudgeon. Recorded at Trident Studios, London.
