Elton John and Bernie Taupin, his frequent songwriting partner, were honored yesterday evening with the 2024 Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song.
The star-packed celebration filled DAR Constitution Hall to capacity, and the complete performance is scheduled to be broadcast on PBS stations nationwide on April 8th, 2024, at 8 PM.
