From Denver to L.A.
Template:Use dmy dates Template:Use British English Script error: No such module "Infobox".Template:Template otherScript error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". "From Denver to L.A." is a song written by Francis Lai and Hal Shaper, and performed by English musician Elton John. It was released on the soundtrack of the 1970 movie The Games.[1] The song was released as a single in the U.S. in July 1970, miscredited on the record label to "Elton Johns".[2]
The single was issued just as John's career was starting to take off, but was quickly withdrawn because both John and his then-current record company objected to its release. It is now an extremely rare collectors' item. John said of the song: "Actually, 'From Denver to L.A.' was withdrawn, so if you have got a copy, it's worth a small fortune. It was a 25 quid session I did at Olympic Studios and I just sang the song, and it was for the Michael Winner movie The Games. And that's it."[3]
