This 1980 track from ‘21 at 33’ followed Elton’s Top 10 hit ‘Little Jeannie’. Sartorial Eloquence was written with new wave singer Tom Robinson after they were introduced by Peter Gabriel at a charity concert in 1978. The title wasn’t favoured by Elton’s US record company who insisted on renaming it ‘Don’t Ya Wanna Play This Game No More’ somewhat losing the poetic quality. Sartorial Eloquence features on the upcoming Elton: Jewel Box, out November 13th. Pre-order here: https://EltonJohn.lnk.to/JewelBoxHero
