100 ESSENTIAL ELTON JOHN

DEEP CUTS

LOVE SONGS {1996}

The compilation album ‘Love Songs’ included 2 new songs: "No Valentines" and the moving ballad “You Can Make History (Young Again)”.  

81 You Can Make History

(Young Again)

When issued as a single in its own right in 1996, the song fared poorly on the charts. It was added as a third track on the double A-sided CD single with “Something About The Way You Look Tonight” and the new recording of “Candle In The Wind” in the following year. The latter was re-written as a tribute to Princess Diana who had tragically died that year. It was officially re-titled “Candle In The Wind 1997”. Upon release, the new version shattered records for sales.
