Reviews:
''The One'' is the twenty-third studio album by British singer/songwriter Elton John, released in 1992. It was recorded at Studio Guillame Tell in Paris, produced by Chris Thomas and managed by John Reid. It was dedicated to Vance Buck.
''The One'' spent three consecutive weeks at #2 without ever reaching #1 in the UK, being kept off the top spot by Lionel Richie's ''Back to Front'' compilation. However, it was John's biggest selling album in the US since 1975.
Olle Romo collaborated with John and lyricist Bernie Taupin on one song, "Runaway Train", on which Eric Clapton sings a duet with John. David Gilmour makes an appearance playing guitar on "Understanding Women". Elton's former drummer, Nigel Olsson and female backup vocalist Kiki Dee and longtime guitarist Davey Johnstone provided backing vocals on a few songs.
This was John's first album project since his rehabilitation from drug and alcohol addictions and bulimia in 1991. This is the last studio album to feature his Roland RD-1000 digital piano. Elton switched to the Yamaha Disklavier piano shortly after which he plays to this day. The 58 minute album is the longest non-double album for Elton John. - Wikipedia
