I like NPR, Elton John, and Leon Russell which made this segment NPR did last week very enjoyable for me:  Elton John And Leon Russell Reunite On 'The Union'

Elton John and Leon Russell's paths seemed fated to cross: Both grew up at the piano, learning to play as little boys. Both played piano in bars while in their teens, and both started their careers as piano players for hire. But, according to John, there's one important difference.
