Elton John - best-ever TV interview (1980)

One Elton John interview for the ages. Both titans in their respective fields, legendary broadcaster Tom Snyder talks to British rock icon Elton John on the eve of his 39-date US tour following his epic 1980 NY Central Park concert with some 400,00O people in attendance. It's worth remembering in 1980 that Elton rose above the prevailing New Wave and changing tastes in music. Self-effacing and self-aware, charismatic and funny, Elton's personality and intellect fully on display, with outstanding questions from the creme de la creme of American interviewers.
