Elton John - Duets

Duets, tek bir CD, tek bir kaset ve ayrıca İngiltere'de biraz farklı bir çalışma düzeniyle çift vinil LP olarak yayınlandı. Başlangıçta John's'un bir Noel projesiydi, ancak kısa sürede kendi başına bir albüm haline geldi ( Elton John's Christmas Party ). Canlı sürümü ile "Me Sun Go Down Let etmeyin" George Michael zaten İngiltere'de albümünden yayımlanan 1991 Üç tekler bir İngiliz / ABD 1 numaralı hit olmuştu, albümdeki parça numarası 15, : "True Love" ( Kiki Dee ile 2. sıraya yükseldi), "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" ( travesti RuPaul ile 7. sıraya yükseldi) ve "Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing" ( Marcella Detroit ile birlikte), #24'e ulaştı). Albüm İngiltere'de 7 numaradan giriş yaptı. Bu, John'un düzenli gitaristi Davey Johnstone olmadan 1983 ile 2016 arasında yayınlanan sadece 3 albümden biridir.
