Elton John's Greatest Hits, Volume II

Elton John's Greatest Hits, Volume II (1977) is a compilation of his mid 1970s singles that highlights his piano-led pop rock and soft rock work. The collection mixes intimate ballads and uptempo pop rock numbers marked by Bernie Taupin's lyrics, polished studio arrangements, and prominent piano along with occasional orchestral or brass touches. It serves as a snapshot of Elton John's melodic songwriting and pop sensibility from that period and includes prominent collaborations such as his duet with Kiki Dee.
