I thought I was familiar with all of Elton John's hits in the 1970's so I was surprised to hear Amoreena at the opening of Dog Day Afternoon (which we recently watched, but which I was too young to watch when it came out in 1975):
Amoreena comes from his 1970 album, Tumbleweed Connection, which I need to get someday.

- Rolling Stone: 1971 Review of Tumbleweed Connection:
...Tumbleweed Connection is simpler than
John's last album and next time around I hope he goes all the way and
gets down to nothing but the basics. He is one of the few who is good
enough not to need anything else.
