Bernie Taupin
Biography
Bernie Taupin is an English lyricist and visual artist who, from 1967, formed one of the most successful songwriting partnerships with Elton John. Born in Lincolnshire in 1950, he answered an advertisement placed by Liberty Records; John answered the same one, and the two went on to collaborate on more than thirty albums. Taupin wrote the words for hits including Your Song, Rocket Man, Tiny Dancer and Bennie and the Jets, and also for other artists, among them Starship, Heart and Alice Cooper, whose 1978 album From the Inside he co-wrote. His honors include a 1992 induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's Musical Excellence Award in 2023, a Golden Globe for A Love That Will Never Grow Old from Brokeback Mountain, and, with John, the 2020 Oscar for (I'm Gonna) Love Me Again from Rocketman and the 2024 Gershwin Prize. He began exhibiting his artwork in 2010.
