George Harrison would be third, the first two are from 1969 and 1970.

Got it....

Blind Faith in 1969 (I just knew Clapton had to be involved somewhere)
Paul McCartney in 1970

 

[Brill]

Correct!
I almost gave a Blind Faith hint when Cream was mentioned.

Depends on which story you want to believe..

Some say that Rod Stewart was first choice and Elton talked him out of it taking the role for himself.

Others say that Elton was first choice and turned the role down, producers auditioned several others but held out for Elton who took the role on condition he could keep the boots.

henry mancini for Breakfast at Tiffanys and Pink Panther soundtracks?

You may have touched on one I didn't know about.
Henry Mancini reached #1 in 1959 with his Peter Gunn soundtrack as well as #1 in 1962 for Breakfast At Tiffany's.

I was thinking of "A Passion Play" and "Thick As A Brick" both reaching #1 for Jethro Tull. That's incredible when you realize "A Passion Play" never gets air time, even if you bought it I bet it was put aside very quickly. I think it sold well because of the previous "Aqualung" being so good.
