St. Paul & the Broken Bones ignite soul sparks at Elton John’s Oscar bash

Singer Paul Janeway, left, of St. Paul & the Broken Bones and host Elton John duet during Sunday’s 25th Academy Awards viewing party that raised $7 million for the Elton John AIDS Foundation. Arguably the most riveting musical performance on Academy Awards night didn’t emanate from the Kodak Theatre stage during the ceremony itself, but from Alabama’s neo-soul band St. Paul & the Broken Bones. “When I heard this band’s first album, I immediately called Paul Janeway and spoke to him,” John, 69, told the crowd that had just helped him raise $7 million for the Elton John AIDS Foundation.
