Elton John’s Iconic Instrumental Hit: 'Song For Guy' 🎶

This video for Elton’s only principally instrumental single was shot on the set of the Australian music television show Countdown and broadcast on December 1978. Elton explains in his autobiography ‘Me’ that the song was named after Guy Burchett, a 17 year-old messenger boy for his company who had died in a motorcycle crash “at virtually the same time I was writing the song.” Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour band member Ray Cooper can be heard playing wind chimes and shakers on the track.
