About the Song
"Little Jeannie" is a song by Elton John and Gary Osborne, recorded by John and released as a single in 1980; the song appears on John's album 21 at 33. It reached #3 on the Billboard pop chart in the United States, becoming the singer's biggest U.S. hit since 1976's "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" (a duet with singer Kiki Dee), and his highest-charting solo hit since 1975's "Island Girl". It also became John's fifth #1 on the U.S. adult contemporary chart, and it was certified gold by the RIAA.[1] The song can be described as an uptempo ballad. Instrumentally, it strongly resembles John's earlier hit "Daniel", with an electric piano and an acoustic guitar dominating the arrangement. Ironically, the later song features only one of the same instrumentalists—drummer Nigel Olsson--as the earlier song. Even the piano, played by John himself on "Daniel", is here played by James Newton-Howard. Sir.    Download this sheet!

He has sold over 200 million records, making him one of the most successful artists of all time. He has more than 50 Top 40 hits including seven consecutive No. 1 U.S. albums, 56 Top 40 singles, 16 Top 10, four No. 2 hits, and nine No. 1 hits. He has won five Grammy awards and one Academy Award.

In 2004, Rolling Stone ranked him #49 on their list of the 100 greatest artists of all time. Some of the characteristics of John's musical talent include an ability to quickly craft melodies for the lyrics of songwriting partner Bernie Taupin, his former rich tenor (now baritone) voice, his classical and gospel-influenced piano, the aggressive orchestral arrangements of Paul Buckmaster among others and the on-stage showmanship, especially evident during the 1970s.

Piano notes and music reading No language is easy to learn except for our mother tongue. Mother tongue is a language which we start learning as soon as we are conceived. But learning some other language can be difficult if you are really not into it. Piano Notes are written in a completely different language. Agreed that the characters in the piano notes are very artistic and beautiful but they are equally strange to beginners and newcomers. But here is one interesting fact. Learning music reading from a piano notes music sheet is not a very difficult task. Actually it is much easier than learning a foreign Asian language like Chinese. Memorization and repetition are the two main ingredients for success in mastering the language of piano notes.

To say in a very classical tone, practice till each and every note starts running through your veins. (More...)
