Never Too Late
from Elton John: Never Too Late; Music and Lyric by Elton John, Brandi Carlile, Andrew Watt and Bernie Taupin

A documentary 50 years in the making, Elton John: Never Too Late is exactly the film you think it is. With footage over the superstar's career and talking heads explaining EJ's genius, it is nearly impossible to believe how much he has been through in his life. His musical gift is immeasurable and almost unmatchable, he has done everything a pop star would be expected to do and so much more. Last year, John joined the ranks of the other 19 people officially crowned with the four-fecta, an EGOT, having won an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar, and a Tony (and in some cases, multiples of each). This is not going to garner EJ another Oscar, to be sure, but I'm a fan of his music and of his person, and I enjoyed this one so much. Like A Complete Unknown, be sure to watch this film (on Disney+) with forgiving people in the room, because there's no way you'll escape singing along, out loud, to the very best of Sir Elton John.
