John Lennon‘s collaborations with other musical artist. ##johnlennon #beatles #music #eltonjohn

Harry Nilsson, Keith Richards, Mick Jagger, Mitch Mitchell, Frank Zappa, Eric Clapton, Elton John, and Little Richard. This YouTube short highlights Lennon’s collaborations and friendships with these legendary artists.

Harry Nilsson and John Lennon had one hell of a friendship, often seen together during Lennon’s “Lost Weekend” period. They worked on ‘Pussy Cats’ together, a project fueled by late-night recording sessions and wild parties. Lennon even injured his vocal cords in the process.

Keith Richards and John Lennon had a way of finding each other. They jammed together in The Dirty Mac, with Richards on bass. Keith often spoke of the surreal, almost dreamlike quality of playing with Lennon, where music and life blurred into one.

Mick Jagger, another Rolling Stone, was a peer and occasional collaborator. Their most famous public moment was at The Rolling Stones’ Rock and Roll Circus. Lennon performed with The Dirty Mac, and Mick was there, watching, probably wondering how the hell he’d ended up in such company.

Mitch Mitchell, the wild drummer from The Jimi Hendrix Experience, played with Lennon in The Dirty Mac for the Rock and Roll Circus. His drumming was the perfect match for John’s raw energy, creating a performance that still feels electric.

Frank Zappa and John Lennon shared a short but memorable encounter. Lennon and Yoko joined Zappa on stage at the Fillmore East in 1971. It was a chaotic jam session, the kind that leaves you wondering what just happened, later released on Lennon’s ‘Some Time in New York City.’

Eric Clapton was a close friend and collaborator, playing lead guitar on ‘Cold Turkey.’ He was also part of The Dirty Mac. Clapton’s friendship with Lennon went beyond music; he was there for John during some of his darkest times.

Elton John and John Lennon had a deep, genuine friendship. Their performance of ‘Whatever Gets You Thru the Night’ at Madison Square Garden in 1974 was legendary. Elton had bet John that the song would be a hit, and when it was, Lennon had to keep his promise to perform live.

Little Richard was a hero to John Lennon. The Beatles opened for him in Liverpool and Hamburg. Lennon was in awe of Richard’s flamboyant style and energy, which inspired his own performances. They stayed friends, with Lennon always acknowledging the impact Richard had on his career.

John Lennon, Harry Nilsson, Keith Richards, Mick Jagger, Mitch Mitchell, Frank Zappa, Eric Clapton, Elton John, Little Richard. All part of the mosaic that was Lennon’s life and music.”
