Question
Hi, I remember a song that was made as a tribute to Marylin Monroe in the 80's but can not find anywhere. It is not the one made by Elton John.
Thanks for your help.
Leo
Hey Leo! The song you were looking for was "Candle In The Wind" written by Sir Elton John in 1973 as a tribute to Marilyn Monroe. The long forgotten song then resurfaced two decades after when ,Diana The Princess of Wales died in 1997, and Sir Elton sang his one and only live performance of the new version aptly titled "Goodbye England's Rose".

The 80s: a decade where the music was grand. i learned a great deal on the wonderworkings of new wave artists; those pop-rock ditties were remarkable, yet the laid-back love songs were always as good as it was then. as regards artists and their songs,i maybe of help though i'm partial to rap,country,and metal. I am also a smooth jazz junkie and may have infos to take you along a splendid music cruise in our time.
