Bennie and the Jets (2018 version) - Elton John & Pink & Logic - MP3 instrumental karaoke

The "Bennie" in "Bennie and the Jets" is a fictional futuristic character cooked up by songwriter Bernie Taupin. A sci-fi "goddess" in "electric boots" and "a mohair suit," this larger-than-life musical presence anchors this hook-laden satire on the vacuity of the 1970s music industry, built around a killer piano hook from Elton John. Featured on his seminal seventh studio album, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, "Bennie and the Jets" was part of Elton John's iconic Live Aid performance and shot to the top of the UK charts when it was released as a single in 1974, also cracking the Billboard Hot Soul Singles chart top 20, of which Elton John was particularly proud. The sprawling 17-track tome Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, which was enrolled into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2003, also featured some of Elton John's biggest career-defining hits, including the title track and the iconic "Candle in the Wind."
