Long John Baldry famously convinced Elton John not to marry a woman, Linda Woodrow, whom he was involved with in 1968. During a night of drinking with Baldry and Bernie Taupin, they dissuaded John from going through with the marriage. This incident had a profound impact on Elton John's life and is reflected in his 1975 hit song "Someone Saved My Life Tonight," which was a tribute to Baldry's intervention during a time of crisis for John. The song narrates how Baldry helped him overcome a moment of deep personal turmoil regarding his sexual identity and the contemplated marriage.
