What do Paul McCartney, Elton John and Billy Joel have in common? Well, they all had the top 3 songs on Billboard's Hot 100 on the week ending of July 19, 1980.
3. Little Jeannie---Elton John
2. Coming Up---Paul McCartney
1. It's Still Rock and Roll To Me---Billy Joel
There are also some interesting connections with all 3 artists. Paul and Elton performed at the Prince's Trust All-Star rock concert in 1986 and at the Diamond Jubilee celebration for Queen Elizabeth's 60th anniversary as the Queen of England last month. Elton and Billy has toured and performed together several times in the past and all 3 artists have performed at Shea Stadium. Paul performed the first concert at Shea Stadium back in 1965 as a member of the Beatles, which was the first rock concert at an outdoor stadium and in 2008, Billy performed the last concert at Shea Stadium, with Paul making a guest appearance.
