It's from the album Tommy, and the song was sung by Roger Daltry

There was a movie adaptation. Since Daltry was playing Tommy he couldn't exactly sing so they did have people like Elton John, Ann Margaret and William Shatner sing songs. Elton John sang Pinball Wizard.

So both of you are correct.

I don't remember Elton John singing it, but it has been quite a while since I watched the movie. 🤔

From Wikipedia, "The song was performed by British musician Elton John in Ken Russell's 1975 film adaptation of Tommy"

I watched it semi recently, so it was fresh -ish in my mind.

Elton played the top dog Pinball player that Tommy dethroned. He was wearing boots that were like 3ft tall.
