...memory of Elton's power to evoke a mellowness or an up-beat rowdiness, his power to make people buy his records and keep them on the radio, makes Elton John's Greatest Hits Volume II a sad record.

He put together a group of men who could beat others at a game, and he did it better than anyone before or since. A lasting contribution to humanity...
