Elton J. on Elvis C.
Elton J. on Elvis C.
Hi all - does anyone know what Elton said as he 'inducted' (terrible word) Elvis into the Rock 'N' Roll Hall Of Fame? Just curious as I can't imagine what on earth he'd say - seems like an unlikely choice of inducter!

It was the one thing I have I managed to remember to get my VCR ready for, so I can go back and watch it to get everything exactly.
Off the top of my head, I do remember him having high praise for him, going back and talking about his first album and the songs from it. Seems like he even made a comment about how he hadn't "sold out" which was unlike what he had done. He talked about how Elvis got his stage name, and some other things. It really wasn't a bad introduction, but as usual Elton was giddy like a girl and a tad off color, but I like Elton and thought he expressed much admiration for Elvis on his special night.
I'd honestly have to go back and watch it again to refresh my aging memory. I was a bit starstruck that night just watching him on tv, and I had a few drinks to boot, so I just can't remember any more!!!!!!
