Thursday marks the 50th anniversary of John Lennon's fifth solo album, Walls and Bridges, which went to #1 and features "Whatever Gets You Thru The Night," Lennon's first U.S. #1 as a solo artist, and his only solo song to top the chart in his lifetime.
Pang tells ABC Audio that Walls and Bridges was one of John's "proudest moments," not only because of the #1 single, but because "he did it all in eight weeks from start to finish." She noted he was "jumping around" when he finished the record and handed it in.
Pang appears on the album's second single "#9 Dream," which was a top 10 hit. She can be heard whispering John's name in the song, although fans probably didn't think it was her.
The concert would wind up being Lennon's last major concert appearance.
