This single was Lennon’s final hit before his five-year retreat from the music industry to raise his son Sean (who shares his birthday).
The Real Me The Who 1974 H100 peak #92
According to a 1996 interview, John Entwistle said the bass part was recorded on the first take. Entwistle claimed he was "joking around" when he played the part, but the band loved it and they used it in the final version.

8-9pm
Hound DogElvis Presley1956 RS #19 Song
The basic rhythm to Presley’s version of this Leiber and Stoller song was a three beat Afro-Latin pattern known as the Habanera. Presley and his band saw Freddie Bell and the Bellboys perform the song in Las Vegas and decided to make their own version. On the recording, Gordon Stoker, who usually sang first tenor for the Jordanaires, needed to fill in on piano. As he could not both play and sing, the back up vocals were, by his own account, “the worst…we ever got on any record.”
River Deep Mountain High Tina Turner 1966 RS #33 Song
Twenty one session musicians played on this track, including Leon Russell and Glen Campbell.
A Day in the Life Beatles 1967 RS #28 Song
Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (RS #24 Album)
The 40 second fade out was created by John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and Mal Evans all slamming out an E-major chord simultaneously on three pianos. The recording level was boosted as the chord faded out, which is why studio noises (a squeaking chair, papers rustling) can be heard.
Respect Aretha Franklin 1967 RS #5 Song
I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You RS #13 Album
Ever wonder how the expression “Sock it to me” came into general usage? Aretha's version of the Otis Redding song and Mitch Ryder's "Devil with the Blue Dress" (written by Mickey Stevenson and Shorty Long).
He’s Misstra Know-It-AllStevie Wonder 1973 InnerVisions RS #34 Album
This 1973 song, seemingly written about then-President Richard Nixon, has lost none of its political punch today.
All I Have to Do is Dream Everly Brothers 1958 RS #142 Song
This track was recorded live in two takes.
All I WantJoni Mitchell1971Blue RS #3 Album
Mitchell’s LP Blue is the highest entry by a woman on the RS Greatest Album list. Check out this 1970 video where she previews "All I Want" while she was still working on it. Notice how different the lyrics are from those on Blue.
God Only Knows Beach Boys 1966 RS #25 Song Pet Sounds RS #2 album
Two of the percussive effects are sleigh bells by Hal Blaine and two plastic orange juice bottles struck against each other by Jim Gordon. Alan Robinson plays the iconic French horn part. If you want to take a deep dive into the recording process of this song, watch the video.
Dance to the MusicSly and the Family Stone1968 RS #225 Song
This track was an early influence on psychedelic soul and funk music.
Nowhere to RunMartha and the Vandellas 1965 RS #367 Song

London Calling The Clash 1979 RS #15 Song
London Calling RS #16 Album
The song makes reference to the nuclear accident at Three Mile Island, the possibility of the River Thames flooding central London, and the use of truncheons by the Metropolitan Police. The fadeout is Morse Code for S.O.S.
Eleanor Rigby Beatles 1966 RS #138 Song Revolver RS #11 Album
The double string quartet was arranged by George Martin. George Harrison contributed “Ah look at all the lonely people,” and Ringo Starr added “writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear.”
Like a Rolling Stone Bob Dylan 1965 RS #1 Song
Highway 61 Revisited RS #18 Album
Al Kooper, who was just starting out as a session player, improvised the organ riff. Paul Griffin played piano, and Bobby Gregg played the opening snare drum shot heard around the world.
What’s Going On Marvin Gaye 1971 RS #4 Song
What’s Going OnRS #1 Album
This was the first album to credit Gaye as producer and to give explicit credit to Motown session players The Funk Brothers, who can be heard speaking under the song’s introduction. This was the track that bassist James Jamerson played while lying on the floor. Background vocals were by the Andantes and three members of the Detroit Lions football team, among others. Eli Fontaine played an alto sax riff as a goof, but Marvin Gaye liked it so much he made it the opening of the song. If you want to see James Jamerson and Eddie Bongo Brown in action, watch the video.
