'Your Song'

Elton John broke big with "Your Song," which remains one of pop's greatest heartstring-tugging ballads. He's performed the tune more than any other number in his catalog, but this rendition filmed for the BBC's Top of the Pops in 1971 is a wonderful document of the song when it was still fresh and new.
