Schmit, Bill Champlin, Venette Gloud, Carmen Twillie (background vocals). Recorded at Superbar Studios, Nice, France in August 1979. Elton John's first record of the new decade found him back on more familiar ground following 1979's thoroughly disco-fied VICTIM OF LOVE, which sold disappointingly. For the first time since the early days of his career, he had failed to reach a huge audience, so perhaps there was more at stake on 21 AT 33. It sounds much more like an Elton John record than its predecessor, with dreamy ballads ("Little Jeannie") and stomping, '70s-style rockers ("Chasing the Crown," one of two Taupin collaborations), along with some oddball touches like a strangely cheery-sounding cocaine song ("White Lady White Powder"). There's only one disco song, and it closes the album. The record finds him collaborating with his former hit-making partner Bernie Taupin, but also with newer cohorts James Newton Howard and Gary Osborne, who co-wrote the record's biggest hit, "Little Jeannie." A smoothly produced soft-rock ballad, the song bears more than a passing resemblance to a sped-up version of Leo Sayer's "When I Need You," and marked Elton John's return to the high end of the charts. | Find errors in the product description?
