Hold Me Closer Tony Danza

The surprising tale of how Elton John's clandestine relationship with Taxi star Tony Danza provided the inspiration for one of his biggest hits. It might not be clear from the lyrics, but between every line and behind every chord hides the unspoken pain of an affair that was bound to fail. Elton (Robin Williams) and Danza (Scott Baio) hide their love from the world and skip around the North West, beset by doubts. The conclusion is a heartbreaking split that will change both their lives forever - and give us a song that will last for decades!
