Original handwritten lyrics of Elton John's 'Bennie and the Jets'TAUPIN, BERNIE. Autograph Manuscript Initialed ('BJT'), 3 pp, 4to, [Chateau D'Hérouville, France], January 5, 1973, written in red felt-tip marker on typing paper, very mild toning, lower right corner of page 2 creased. With 'Bennie and the Jets' sheet music.Provenance: Collection of Maxine Taupin.'Bennie and the Jets' was the third single from the Goodbye Yellow Brick Road album, one that Elton John was reluctant to release because he feared it was too strange for the airways. A bit of a satire of the rock and roll industry, the song is written in the voice of a fan of the make-believe glam rock band, Bennie and the Jets. In a Rolling Stone interview, Taupin said, 'I saw Bennie and the Jets as a sort of proto-sci-fi punk band, fronted by an androgynous woman, who looks like something out of a Helmut Newton photograph.' This draft includes a second stanza about Candy and Ronnee thumbing a ride to the show that did not make it into the final song.I wish to now if you can shake it looseBennie and the JetsHey kids, shake it loose togetherthe spotlights hitting somethingthats been nown to change the weatherand we'll kill the fatted calf tonight so everbody you should stick aroundYour going to hear electric music Solid walls of sound.And there so wierd, Benny and the Jetsmusic mutationsSay Candy and Ronee have you seen them yetWow but there so spaced out Benny and the JetsAnd there so weird and wonderfuloh Bennie she's really keenShe got electric boots and a mohair suitI know it; I read it in a magazineDee da daCandy and Ronnee both thumbed down a Cadillacinquired if the driver could take them aways Maryhe was happy to help them but felt from there presencethere was something incredibly wrongand inside his head he heard a voice speakWhy not try to tune in the family faithlessthey'll never turn a blind eye some daythey won't be blindedHey kids, plug into the faithlessmaybe there blindedbut Bennie can make you seem agelessAnd music mutations, we shall survivelets bring take ourselves alongplay for the people under youWhere we fight our parents out in the streetsto prove whose right and whos wrong

LENNON JOHN: (1940-1980) English Musician, a member of The Beatles. A good, unusual signed and inscribed colour candid 3.5 x 4 polaroid photograph of Lennon, the image depicting him seated in a half length pose, wearing his trademark circular spectacles, alongside the disc jockey Alan Smith (also known as 'Brother Love') in the WFIL radio studio in Philadelphia in October 1975 during a weekend fundraising broadcast for the Philadelphia Association of Retarded Children. Signed by Lennon in blue ink to the upper white border, 'To da Brother, love, John Lennon' and dated 1975 in his hand, further adding his familiar doodle of a face in his hand to a clear area of the image. A rare signed photograph. Some very light, extremely minor age wear to the image which detracts little from the appeal of the photograph. VG Provenance: Accompanied by a lengthy and detailed typed statement of provenance signed by Alan Smith and dated 6th October 2017, recounting the circumstances under which the present photograph was taken and signed, in part, 'In 1975, Jay Cook, the Program Director…..somehow, in conjunction with Capitol Records, convinced John Lennon to join us to 'kick off' the event [the WFIL/PARC fundraising marathon of non-stop music] on Friday afternoon…..John arrived early, hung around talking with all of us getting to know our names, sensing our personalities, deciding who was funny and who wasn't…..Over the next day and a half I spent an inordinate (amount) of time (as did my wife at the time) with him around the studio….He was open and charming, extremely bright…..My wife took the picture in the radio studio while we were on the air and when we were looking at it, he took it from my hand and signed it and drew the little face on it….John left early Sunday morning to return home to go into virtual seclusion from the public eye until 1980….'
