EPISODE SUMMARY:
There's no denying that Elton John is unlike any musician to come before him or since he started his career more than 50 years ago. Having seven consecutive number one records should say enough about what his work means to people. And even when he tries to redefine his much beloved sound, as in the case of the 1972 record Honky Château, it's declared one of the greatest records in history. Another one-of-a-kind performer who adores everything Elton has ever done is award winning comedian & actor Bill Engvall, who personally captured lightning in a bottle himself as a part of the famous Blue Collar Comedy Tour. Now the host of the upcoming TV series "Blue Collar Auction" looks back on his own career just as fondly as he does Elton's.
