Elton John and Cat Stevens are two English singers who were among the most popular global artists of the 1970s. In 1970, they recorded a duet called “Honey Man”. The song remained unreleased until the 21st Century. The song is written by Cat Stevens and Ken Cumberbatch. I’m embedding the song below. Below that, I’ll give my thoughts on this song.
It opens with Elton’s powerful piano notes. Cat soon sings with bass and congas. The congas add a nice touch to the song. Elton then sings with Cat soon joining him. Elton brings more rock than usual into a Cat Stevens song with his piano playing. A little after the one minute mark, horns come in which add to the song. There is a piano solo with horn interjections. Elton and Cat sing the chorus intensely. Elton and Cat sound quite different, yet Elton sings some notes like Cat towards the end of the song. They sing well together.
This is a very good pop rock song. It’s melodic with great instrumentation. I wish this song had been released in 1970. Although it was recorded before they became worldwide superstars, due to their mutual popularity in the 1970s, it could have been a big hit. Feel free to give your thoughts on this song.
