Philadelphia Freedom by Elton John
Sir Elton John (Reg Dwight) with a huge worldwide hit here. This single was taken from the best selling album "Captain Fantastic And The Brown Dirt Cowboy", and the single was written by Elton and Bernie Taupin. The song was written about a Tennis team called Philadelphia Freedom, and was written as a favour to its main member the tennis star Billie Jean King.
Billie Joe Thomas was born in 1942 in Oklahoma, and sang country music during the 1960s, and he was the one in the film "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid", that sang "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head" in 1969 and became a single hit in 1970. A great 70s music Bachracah record.
This single from 1975 also went Gold too.
