Captain Unbelievable and the Brown Grime Cowboy was John’s ninth studio album in simply six years. Upon its authentic launch in 1975, it grew to become the primary album to ever debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart and the primary to be licensed Gold based mostly on pre-orders alone. It bought 1.4 million copies in its first 4 days and remained atop the chart for seven weeks.
Although Captain Unbelievable yielded Scorching 100 success within the type of No. 4 single “Someone Saved My Life Tonight,” the album is much less identified for hits than for its deeply autobiographical songs chronicling a whirlwind second for John (Captain Unbelievable) and lyricist Bernie Taupin (the Brown Grime Cowboy). John wrote the music aboard the SS France, the world’s largest passenger ocean liner on the time, within the ship’s music room, the Salon Debussy.
