Rock n Roll w/Strings

IMO, this is generally a terrible idea.
But....when done right (a rarity, IME), it can be great (per the attached clip).
Anyone else have recommendations along this line.

Just listened to Elton Johns 1st album, which I consider spotty as far as music quality, with some songs excellent and others not so much. However, quite a few songs have strings, some have harp, and one I believe has harpsichord.

The rock group Kansas. Not quite rock and roll but Jon Luc Ponty and Andreas Vollenweider did quite well with strings.
