2/3 Pop giant Elton John recently celebrated his 60th birthday, and for the occasion talked broadcaster Paul Sexton through his career in an extensive interview. The once glam music mogul has sold an estimated 250 million records, many of them collaborations with lyricist Bernie Taupin, who also reflects on his working partner's impressive output. And fanning the flames of festiveness are Rod Stewart, Brian Wilson, Kiki Dee, Gary Osborne, Rufus Wainwright, Jake Shears (of Scissor Sisters), guitarists Davey Johnstone and Caleb Quayle, and Philip Norman. This series concludes on Easter Monday.
