Exactly. Here's one last one as I'm heading off to bed, got an early morning ahead of me. I like this Beatles number Lennon did with Elton John, good way to close out the night.

I read that John didn’t think it would be a hit, but Elton was positive it would be (amd was proven right). 😊😊😊

That's very true! From Wikipedia:

The recording ("Whatever Gets You thru the Night") featured Elton John on harmony vocals 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 No. 1. When the record did achieve that feat, Lennon appeared at John's Thanksgiving performance at Madison Square Garden on 28 November 1974. It was Lennon's last major concert appearance.
