Happy Birthday to a Beatle and Son
Happy Birthday to John Lennon AND Sean Lennon.
Sean was born on his father's 35th Birthday in 1975. (Mom was Yoko.)
Here's John's 1974 song that went #1, his only one while he was alive. If you pay attention, that's Elton John doing harmony and piano.
While in the studio, Elton bet Lennon that the song would top the charts, and such was Lennon's skepticism that Elton secured from him a promise to appear on stage at one of his performances, should the record indeed hit #1. When the record did achieve that feat, Lennon appeared at John's Thanksgiving performance at Madison Square Garden on 28 November 1974.
