In 19 95 Elton's collaboration with lyricist
Tim Rice on the soundtrack for The Lion King won them an Oscar for the song Can You Feel The
Love Tonight I was nearly fifty and it just gave me a chance to try my arm at something else Didn't

than a vocalist you're looking around to see how you can work with different things
[41:57-42:13] It is where we are And then because
I enjoyed it so much it really led to me writing a stage musical scoring a
movie which I'd never really done before
