Tiny Dancer is one of Elton John's most iconic songs, but it wasn't always. When it first came out, it barely made an appearance on the charts, and when he played it in concert, he described it "going down like a lead zeppelin". Like most of the songs off Madman Across The Water, it kinda got forgotten when his next album started a legendary run of #1 releases. So what happened? How did this sleeper hit claim its place in the pantheon of great Elton John songs? Well, it's a bit of a long story.
