1. These are/were the rumors:

"Tiny Dancer" written in 1971

1. A rock singer died on stage and Bernie wrote the song about/for the widow..
seamstress for the band, dancer in the sand et al..I can't find or remember who it was suppose to be
....I just remember the rumor.

2. Bernie Taupin wrote the song about, then girlfriend, soon to become wife, Maxine.

3. The song is about, how shall we say it...Little John :wow:

very good song...no matter who, what or where.

2. It is dedicated to Maxine on the lyric sheet on both the LP and CD I own

Pretty conclusive evidence for theory 2, I''d say.

3. I love that song.

10. Me, too

It is such a wonderfully sweet and observant lyric and Elton did it proud with that gorgeous music and gloriously soulful but mellow vocal. At least then, Bernie must have loved Maxine to the ends of the earth. Ya couldn't write something that graceful and lovely if you weren't mad for the girl.

4. Pretty eyes. Pirate smile.

She married a music man.

5. Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand

And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand

[Swede]

6. Jesus freaks out in the street, Handing tickets out for God

Turning back she just laughs
The boulevard is not that bad

[Yavin4]

7. Piano man he makes his stand

In the auditorium

[tigereye]

8. So hold me closer tiny dancer, count the headlights on the highway

I've always loved this song...

[Tuesday Afternoon]

9. Lay me down in sheets of linen

You had a busy day today
