Elton had provided uncredited backing and duetting vocals on this collaboration. John has not performed the song in over 30 years. While no official reason has been given, Andy Greene of Rolling Stone surmises it is due in part to controversial lyrics about a Jamaican prostitute in New York City and a Jamaican man who wants to take her back to Jamaica.
