We have another first in our look at number 40s in the UK charts. The first father and son to score a number 40. First we had John Lennon score a number 40 in 1981 with "I Saw Her Standing There" and how here's his son Julian doing the same in 1985.
Julian Lennon's Top 40 career began in 1984 with "Too Late For Goodbyes". His following two singles however failed to reach the Top 40. This was his next.
It was originally recorded by the Dave Clark Five in 1964 and written by group members Dave Clark and Mike Smith. This Julian Lennon cover was recorded for the Dave Clark musical "Time". The other Top 40 hits from this musical were "Time" and "In My Defence" by Freddie Mercury.
Julian Lennon also recorded the songs "Time Will Teach You All" and "If You Only Knew" for the musical but neither were Top 40 hits.
Two more albums and several singles followed before we'd see Julian Lennon again in the Top 40 with his final Top 40 hit to date "Saltwater" in 1991.
