Elvis Costello with Elton John

Elvis and Elton explore Elton John's love and passion for many of the musicians who've had an impact on his life and career - from Leon Russell to Laura Nyro - with some candid and hilarious anecdotes along the way. Elton sheds light on his 40 year working relationship with lyricist Bernie Taupin, and the show also includes an amusing exchange about Elvis and Elton's real and stage names. Plus, Elton at the piano spontaneously demonstrating styles and influences; Elvis covering a couple of Elton John classics; special musical guests Allen Toussaint and James Burton joining Pete Thomas and Davey Faragher of Elvis Costello's band The Imposters; and Elton and Elvis's first ever televised performance together.

1. I love Elvis Costello...

2. Veronica!

Probably a better choice than "Shabby Doll".

3. Let me guess, you are an Elvis Costello fan?

I don't know what gave it away! :P

4. (just his early years) :)

Isn't that what we say about most artists? "I only like his/her early work."

Actually, I'd like to hear most of the interviews even if it weren't Elvis. I'm not necessarily a fan of some of the guests, but still find them interesting people.
