50 years ago today Elton John's Don't Shoot Me I'm Only The Piano Player hit #1 on Billboard's chart

This is my favorite song from that album (never cared much for "Crocodile Rock" ). "Daniel" peaked at #2 on Billboard's chart, but it was nominated for a Grammy, and it won the UK's Ivor Novello songwriting award.
