Elton John Turns 45

According to Bob Dearborn's The Olde Disc Jockey's Almanac, today is Elton's 45th birthday. Of course, he's much older than that, but his name isn't...

May 7, 1968…Singer/songwriter Reginald Dwight legally changed his name to Elton Hercules John, forming it by combining the first and last names of his former Bluesology bandmates, Elton Dean and Long John Baldry.
