Re: Songs that chart many years after their original release
Do new versions of a song count?
For example "Layla" by Eric Clapton.

Re: Songs that chart many years after their original release
"Twist And Shout" by The Beatles was a #2 hit in 1964 on Tollie Records, a subsidiary of Vee Jay Records. That same recording was reissued in 1986 by Capitol Records to capitalize on the song's inclusion in the film "Ferris Bueller's Day Off". It reached #23 on the Billboard Hot 100.
"Cold Heart" isn't a reissue of "Sacrifice", as it features only some of that song. Also found in the recording are Dua Lipa singing the chorus of "Rocket Man", Elton's own "Kiss The Bride", a 1983 hit, and "Where's The Shoorah?", a 1976 album track.
They could continue finding songs of Elton's to rework for years. He's got a big catalog of great music that most people don't know, based simply on having put out 18 studio albums between 1969 and 1984 alone, not to mention the countless non-album singles and b-sides.
