6 Days of Thanksgiving Records:John Lennon and Whatever Gets You Thru The Night


Not really a Thanksgiving song but it was preformed live on Thanksgiving Day on November 28, 1974 at Madison Square Garden. Elton John signs on the record with John Lennon. Elton told Lennon the song was a #1 hit. Lennon didn't think so and said if it did he would preform it live at one of Elton's concerts. It became the only solo #1 in America that Lennon had during his lifetime when it topped the Billboard Chart on November 16,1974 for one week. So Lennon made good on his promise. It was the last time Lennon preformed live before a rock and roll audience. That night at the concert Yoko Ono was also in attendance and she and John get back together after nearly a year and a half separation.
