I first saw Elton John in "Tommy", playing a goofy looking piano and wearing goofy looking glasses. I found out he was famous for goofy looking glasses and flashy outfits. Wikipedia has details and google has pictures.

"Tommy" was one of those rock operas, popular in the era of totally wacked out shows.

Elton John is a singer songwriter and performer who got his start in the 1970’s. He is from the United Kingdom and has had 27 top ten hits, a truly amazing feat. His hits include Rocket Man, Candle in the wind, Crocodile Rock, and Honky Cat. His musical weapon of choice is the grand piano and he rips on it like it’s nobody’s business.
