Levon (song)

"Levon" is a song written and recorded by Elton John with lyrics written by Bernie Taupin. It is from John's fourth album ''Madman Across the Water'' and was recorded on February 27, 1971.〔''Madman'' liner notes〕 The song reached #24 on the U.S. ''Billboard'' Hot 100 and peaked at #6 on the Canadian RPM singles chart.〔(Library and Archives Canada, Top Singles - Volume 16, No. 26, 12 February 1972 )〕
== History ==
According to Gus Dudgeon, Bernie Taupin, who wrote the lyrics for "Levon", was inspired by The Band's co-founder, drummer, and singer Levon Helm to name the title character after him. The Band was apparently John's and Taupin's favourite group in those days. The "Alvin Tostig" mentioned in the song (Levon's father) is, according to Taupin, merely fictional.〔Straight Dope Science Advisory Board, 24 March 2000. ''The Straight Dope Mailbag'', "(In the Elton John song 'Levon,' who is Alvin Tostig? )". Accessed 15 July 2008.〕
In 2013, Bernie Taupin said the song has nothing to do with Levon Helm. He made the name up.
