Sleeping With The Past

Sleeping With the Past, Elton John’s 23rd studio album, is dedicated to his long-time songwriting partner, lyricist Bernie Taupin. The album was a great success, especially in the UK, where it spent five weeks at No. 1. It featured Sacrifice, Elton’s first solo No. 1 in the UK. Two other tracks, Healing Hands and Club At The End Of The Street, reached Nos. 1 and 2, respectively, on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart, while also giving Elton two more Top 20 songs on the US and UK main singles charts.
