     It was written by Elton John and Bernie Taupin. Kate, of course, sang
"Rocket Man" for the "Two Rooms" tribute album of John/Taupin songs, and
used their "Candle in the Wind" for the B-side of the single (can we still
call them B-sides when they're on the same side of the CD?). I'm guessing
you don't have that single, which has the credits listed on the back; too
bad, because it also has a gorgeous instrumental version of "Candle in the
Wind", as well as some lovely photos laid out in a clever way.
