Videos of Summer: I'm Still Standing (1983)

Following the release of his 1980 album, "21 at 33", Elton John left MCA Records for Geffen, but the parade of Top 40 hits continued unabated. Now, I'm not exactly sure where the video for "I'm Still Standing", from the album, "Too Low For Zero", was shot, but the beach scenes could've been done anywhere. Not so sure about the painted dancers, though......!

One of Elton's gimmicks back in the day was the collection of odd eyewear, as sampled in the video. Not sure if he had laser surgery done or wears contacts these days, though. The video comes from Elton's VEVO channel.
