Bernard John “Bernie” Taupin (born 22 May 1950) is an English lyricist, poet, writer, and visual artist. He is best known for his long-term collaboration with Elton John, having written the lyrics for most of John’s songs.

In 1971, Taupin recorded a spoken-word album titled Taupin, in which he recites some of his early poems against a background of impromptu, sitar-heavy music created by some members of Elton’s band, including Davey Johnstone and Caleb Quaye. Side one, “Child”, contains poems about his early childhood in southern Lincolnshire. The first poem, “The Greatest Discovery,” which looks at his birth from the perspective of his older brother Tony, was also set to music by Elton John and included on Elton’s eponymous second album, Elton John. There are poems about Taupin’s first two childhood homes, Flatters and Rowston Manor, and others about his relationship with his brother and grandfather. Side Two includes a variety of poems of varying obscurity, from a marionette telling her own story to a rat catcher who falls victim to his prey. Taupin stated in interviews that he wasn’t pleased with the album.

Taupin also produced American Gothic for singer-songwriter David Ackles. Released in 1972, it did not enjoy big sales, but the album was highly acclaimed by music critics in the US and UK. The influential British music critic Derek Jewell of the UK Sunday Times described the album as being “the Sgt. Pepper of folk.” Of Ackles’ four albums, it was the only one recorded in England rather than in the United States. Taupin and Ackles had become acquainted when Ackles was selected to be the co-headlining act for Elton John’s 1970 American debut at the Troubadour in Los Angeles. Taupin was mentioned specifically as being one of the reasons American Gothic was selected by the writers and editors for inclusion in the book, 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. He also collaborated on the book Burning Cold with photographer Gary Bernstein. In the late 1980s and early 1990s Taupin also collaborated with French American musician, Josquin Des Pres on at least 13 songs in his collection that have been performed and recorded by artists worldwide.
