"You are the one artist that I really would love to do something with, because you really make me happy, and your music is just so fantastic," he noted.
"I’ve played eight tracks of you already on the Rocket Hour. So, we go back a long way on the Rocket Hour with you. I would love one day to catch up and do something in the studio with you. It would be an honor for me to do that."
Elton John, additionally, called music from Africa interesting and brilliant.
"African music is so well-known now, it’s not just world music."
