"Friends" is the tenth studio album by Elton John, released in 1971. It served as the soundtrack for the movie "Friends," which starred Sean Bury and Anicée Alvina.
The album features a more stripped-down sound than some of Elton John's previous works, with a greater emphasis on acoustic guitar and harmonica. The opening track, "Friends," is a cheerful and uplifting tune that sets the tone for the album. Other notable tracks include "Honey Roll," a catchy and upbeat song, and "Michelle's Song," a slower and more reflective track that showcases Elton John's songwriting skills.
"Friends" was not as successful as some of Elton John's other albums, but it remains a favorite among fans for its laid-back vibe and charming melodies. It is also notable for featuring the first appearance of Davey Johnstone on guitar, who would become a longtime collaborator with Elton John.
