   Elton and Bernie wrote it. Elton "lent" it to Three Dog Night to possibly use   
   on the "It Ain't Easy" album. They recorded it FIRST, and released their album   
   on March 31, 1970. Elton's version was released on his self titled album   
   (Elton John) on April 10,   
    1970. SOOOOOO, Elton and Bernie wrote it, but Three Dog Night recorded and   
   released it first. That's right. When they recorded it, they didn't even know   
   Elto was going to record it himself.
