Yes. (Gentle Giant also turned him down allegedly)

But Kat's "Fact" #2 is wrong. Elton and Bernie wrote one of six songs for Lulu as part of "A Song For Europe" 1969. It came sixth and last in the voting ("Boom Bang A Bang" won and became the UK's Eurovision entry that year, finishing joint first in the latter Contest)

I stand corrected. That'll teach me to trust Wikipedia.
