There are certain Myths associated in Popular music, a couple that I've heard are , Rod Stewart played harmonica on Millie`s My Boy Lollipop , John Peel played mandolin on Rod Stewart`s Maggie May, Carly Simon`s song Your So Vain was dedicated to Mick Jagger , and did Cliff play guitar on Qautermassters Stores ,any others ?. Just thought of two more, Paul McArtney wrote Mary Hopkins Those Were The Days , and John Barry wrote The James Bond Theme.

I heard the You’re So Vain was about Mick Jagger.
Didn’t Jimmy Page play harmonica on a number of tracks as a very young session musician pre LZ?

John Peel did appear on ToTP miming the mandolin part on Maggie May...
