Town of Plenty è un brano composto ed interpretato dall'artista britannico Elton John; il testo è di Bernie Taupin.

Il brano

Proviene dall'album del 1988 Reg Strikes Back (costituisce infatti la prima traccia dell'LP) e si caratterizza come una canzone pop dalla melodia ritmata; Elton suona le tastiere, come in tutto l'album di provenienza. Alle chitarre sono presenti Davey Johnstone e Pete Townshend (storico membro degli Who); Charlie Morgan suona la batteria, mentre al basso spicca David Paton. Fred Mandel si occupa del sintetizzatore; infine, si cimentano ai cori Dee Murray, Nigel Olsson e il già citato Johnstone. Il testo di Bernie significa letteralmente Città Dell'Abbondanza.

Town of Plenty fu pubblicata come singolo nel 1988, dopo l'altro estratto I Don't Wanna Go on with You like That, decisamente più fortunato. Distribuita in Paesi come il Regno Unito e l'Australia (ma non negli Stati Uniti o in Canada), conseguì appena una numero 74 UK^[1] e una numero 95 australiana. In Italia questo brano fu scelto come sigla della famosa trasmissione per ragazzi Big!^[2].
