Tonight’s mystery won the chance to perform on stage with John Lennon on a bet.  Think you know the artist or what the bet was??

This interesting little wager came to light on Factinate about a ‘I bet you I it will’ put to John Lennon by Elton John. Elton had bet John that if John's song “Whatever Gets You Through The Night” went to number one he would join Elton at a show and perform with him. After the song topped the charts for Lennon, his only number one solo single,  Lennon made good on the bet in 1974 at Madison Square Garden. They performed 3 songs together. That performance would be the last one John Lennon ever performed as six years later he would be killed.  They remained friends and the Elton John song “Empty Garden” is a tribute to John.

Tonight's featured song.

Thanksgivnig Day 1974, let's step into the time machine and see the show.

And the song that made it all happen.
