A Single Man is the twelfth studio album by British singer/songwriter Elton John, released in 1978, 2 years after his intended last album Blue Moves, and 1 year after the release of Elton John's Greatest Hits Volume II.

As Gary Osborne was an unknown at the time, many people have misinterpreted the album's title to imply that Elton wrote the entire album himself.

  • A Single Man is the twelfth studio album by British singer/songwriter Elton John, released in 1978, 2 years after his intended last album Blue Moves, and 1 year after the release of Elton John's Greatest Hits Volume II. It is the first album John created without his longtime collaborator Bernie Taupin. As Gary Osborne was an unknown at the time, many people have misinterpreted the album's title to imply that Elton wrote the entire album himself. The hit "Song for Guy" was a tribute to Guy Burchett, a young Rocket Records messenger who was killed in a motorcycle accident. The song was a near-global success, charting high everywhere except the United States and Canada, where Elton's label, MCA Records, didn't feel that it had hit potential, due to the recent success of "The Music Box Dancer". The 1998 reissue has five bonus tracks, the first two being the 1978 flop-single "Ego", and its b-side "Flinstone Boy". The next two tracks are the b-sides of "Part-Time Love" and "Song for Guy" ("I Cry at Night" and "Lovesick" respectively), and the last track, "Strangers", originally b-side of his 1979 disco-album title track, "Victim of Love". Some releases of his 1980 album, 21 at 33, also have "Strangers" as a bonus track. Paul Buckmaster would not appear on another Elton John Album until Made in England. The photo for the front cover was taken in the Long Walk, which is part of Windsor Great Park in Berkshire. It was also the first album without his glasses.

  • A Single Man - to dwunasty studyjny album brytyjskiego piosenkarza Eltona Johna, wydany w 1978 roku, 2 lata po Blue Moves (który miał być ostatnim) i rok po kompilacji Greatest Hits Volume II. Jest to pierwszy krążek Eltona stworzony bez pomocy Berniego Taupina. Jako że Gary Osborne mający swój wkład w płytę nie był jeszcze wówczas wystarczająco znany, wielu ludzi źle zinterpretowało tytuł albumu, rozumiejąc go jako informację, że Elton stworzył go zupełnie sam. Utwór "Song For Guy" to hołd dla Guya Burchetta, młodego pracownika wytwórni Rocket Records, który zginął w wypadku motocyklowym. Kompozycja stała się hitem niemal na całej Ziemi, docierając do wysokich pozycji wszędzie poza USA i Kanadą, gdzie MCA Records nie sądziło, że piosenka może stać się hitem. Rozszerzenie albumu z 1998 wzbogaciło go o pięć utworów. Dwa pierwsze pochodzą z niezbyt udanego singla "Ego" z 1978. Pierwsza to tytuowa "Ego", druga zaś ukazała się na nim jako strona B - "Flinstone Boy". Kolejne dwa to strony B z "Part-Time Love" i "Song For Guy" (kolejno "I Cry at Night" i "Lovesick"), a ostatni utwór - "Strangers", to strona B z płyty "Victim of Love". Niektóre wydania albumu 21 at 33 z 1980, także posiadały "Strangers" jako utwór dodatkowy. Fotografia na okładce płyty została zrobiona na 4.5 kilometrowym deptaku Long Walk, który jest częścią Windsor Great Park w Berkshire. "A Single Man" to także pierwszy album na którym Elton pokazuje się bez okularów.
  • A Single Man é o décimo segundo álbum de estúdio do cantor e compositor britânico Elton John, lançado em 1978. É o primeiro álbum criado sem o seu antigo colaborador Bernie Taupin. Como Gary Osborne era um desconhecido na época, muitas pessoas interpretaram mal o título do álbum afirmando que Elton escreveu o álbum inteiro sozinho. O hit "Song for Guy" foi um tributo a Guy Burchett, um jovem funcionário da gravadora Rocket Records que foi morto em uma de acidente de motocicleta. A canção quase foi um sucesso mundial, sendo bem colocada em todas as paradas, exceto nos Estados Unidos e Canadá, onde a MCA, gravadora de Elton, não acreditou que a canção tinha potencial, devido ao recente sucesso de "The Music Box Dancer". Em 1998, o álbum foi relançado com cinco faixas bônus, sendo as duas primeiras singles de1978, "Ego", e seu b-side "Flinstone Boy". As próximas duas faixas são os b-sides de "Part-Time Love" e "Song for Guy" ("Cry me a Night" e "Lovesick", respectivamente), e da última faixa, "Strangers", originalmente um b-side de 1979, "Victim of Love". Alguns lançamentos do seu álbun dos anos 1980, 21 at 33, também têm "Strangers", como uma faixa bônus. A foto para a capa foi tirada em Long Walk, que faz parte do Windsor Great Park, em Berkshire, na Inglaterra. Foi também o primeiro álbum sem seus óculos.
