#305 I GUESS THAT'S WHY THEY CALL IT THE BLUES Elton John
Elton John's hit single "I Guess That's Why They Call it the Blues" was 1 of the best tracks on his 'Too Low For Zero'. The song was written by John and his longtime collaborator Bernie Taupin with Davey Johnstone, the guitarist in his band. 
Chris Thomas produced the recording. John's vocal perfectly fits the mood of the track. His skill at the keyboards is prominent. The highlight feature of this song is the harmonica solo performed by Stevie Wonder. 
Released as a single in 1983, "I Guess..." reached the Top 5 in America, Britain, Australia and Ireland. In 2000, a version was recorded by John with Mary J. Blige for inclusion on his 'One Night Only- The Greatest Hits' live album.

This is a list made up of the songs I enjoy the most, ranked in order of preference: the higher we go, the more I cherish them. Some were released as singles, others as album tracks. Some are obscure; others were worldwide hits or have universal appeal. They aren't always the most famous or popular, but simply a personal choice. I have excluded songs from the last few years in order to get a better idea of a song's lasting impression. I hope you find some new tracks to love, or re-discover some past favourites.
