This song was written in 1986 by Elton and Bernie and never recorded
but played live once, at the Atheletes and Entertainers For Kids
Benefit, July 1986. This was pre-EJAF. Just curious as I stumbled
across the poor quality audio and am can't make out a few words.

Oh, and most important was that it was one of the first songs about
'Safe Sex'.

Just rambling now. :)

Of course without hearing it I have no idea if this might be what you're
looking for.

The site claims the song is copyright 1988 but I guess they could have
waited a few years to do after having written it.

Where did you find a recording of this song? I wouldn't mind hearing it.
Also, was this song written to possibly be part of Leather Jackets or was it
a Reg Strikes Back project?

I'd like to hear it too if you want to send it to me at
***@gmail.com (mrcheap at gmail.com) (at is a circled a). I think
Elton sang a short clip of this song with Lulu in the Tantrums video.

If that was the song in the Tantrums video, it was fantastic. Why not
released?

No, this was a one off song only performed at the Athletes and
Entertainers for Kids Benefit in Los Angeles. This was pre-EJAF.

I know I have a copy of the audio and will look for it when I get
home. It's not very good quality.

I'll get back to you later this afternoon.

PS The recording is on a bootleg 'I Made' called Denver to L.A. and I
have have a video but it's on VHS and I don't know where to look for
that.

jeff

PS Just found the program for the event which has the lyrics printed
inside, so I will double check them.

Ok, I posted both the song Love is Worth Waiting For and the scan of
the lyrics from the program in the Elton Binary group.

If you can't handle that I'm posting a link just for the song below.

Enjoy,

As far as I know, the only time he performed this song was the L.A. AIDS
benefit, done at the Century Plaza Hotel on 8th July 1988.
Is this the same concert you're talking about?
Anyway I have this concert on DVD, it's pro-shot but the quality is not
that good.

in your debt.

song.
