abstract
  • %22Little Jeannie%22 (spelled %22Little Jeanie%22 on the cover of the single) is a song by Elton John and Gary Osborne, recorded by John and released as a single in 1980 from John's album 21 at 33. It reached number three on the Billboard pop chart in the United States, becoming the singer's biggest U.S. hit since 1976's %22Don't Go Breaking My Heart%22 (a duet with singer Kiki Dee), and his highest-charting solo hit since 1975's %22Island Girl%22. It became John's fifth #1 on the U.S. Adult contemporary chart, and was certified Gold by the RIAA. It peaked at #3 in both Bilboard and Cash Box. In Canada, it hit #1 one on the RPM 100 national singles chart.Composed in the key of B flat, which allowed its notable saxophone solo to ring out, the song can be described as an uptempo ballad similar in feel, with its electric piano, to his earlier 1973 hit, %22Daniel%22. In the US, it would be Elton's highest-charting single co-written with Gary Osborne, while in the UK, where the song only reached number 33, %22Blue Eyes%22 would eventually hold that honour.Despite its impressive performance in the US charts, Elton has rarely performed %22Little Jeannie%22 live, doing so only on his 1980 tour and during 2000's One Night Only concerts.
