I can't recall the name of the guy who does his string arrangements but the man is a genius as is especially noticable on this cut.
Also...As a bassist I must give Dee Murray a shout out.
RIP Dee...You were the Man!

  I heard the Elton John version for the first time and I also heard the string arrangements.
  
  To me it sounded much like Gene Page's arrangement, the same guy who was the arranger of Barry White's Love Unlimited Orchestra. I think he was one of the best tring arrangers in the music industry, Sadly enough he passed away before Barry White did.
