Elton John - Film work
He has also done work both for and in films. In 1971, he wrote the soundtrack for the movie Friends. In 1972 he appeared in the Marc Bolan's musical film 'Born to Boogie' In 1975, he appeared as the Pinball Wizard in Ken Russell's over-the-top movie version of the rock opera Tommy.
In 1994, along with Tim Rice, he wrote the songs for the Disney animated film The Lion King. (Rice was reportedly stunned by the rapidity with which John was able to set his words to music.) The Lion King went on to become the best-grossing traditionally-animated feature of all time, with the songs playing a key part. Three of the five songs nominated for the Academy Award for Best Song that year were John and Rice songs from The Lion King, with Can You Feel the Love Tonight winning. In versions sung by John, both that and Circle of Life became big hits, while the other songs such as Hakuna Matata achieved popularity with all ages as well. Can You Feel the Love Tonight would also win John the Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance.
Five years later, John wrote the score for The Muse, and a year later composed songs for another animated film, DreamWorks' The Road to El Dorado. In 2001, his 1970s hit, Tiny Dancer was featured on the Almost Famous soundtrack, his song The Heart of Every Girl was featured as the end title song from 2003's Mona Lisa Smile, and his most recent movie song is My Father's Gun from 2005's Elizabethtown.
