Answer 2

1969 Source - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empty_Sky

Empty Sky is the debut album of 22 year old British singer/songwriter Elton John, released in 1969. It was finally released in the United States in 1975, well after Elton's fame had been established internationally.

While the instrumental accompaniment in Empty Sky could be classified as mildly psychedelic rock, Elton's flair for pop melody is obvious even at this early stage. [1] Elton adds to the unique sound of the album by playing harpsichord on several tracks, including "Skyline Pigeon", which Elton has described as being "the first song Bernie and I ever got excited about."[1]
