O/T - Elton John "Harmony"

   I heard this song played in the supermarket last weekend and wondered - how does a 50+ year old album track still get airtime when singles that spent months in the Top 10 are long forgotten?!?  The song was the B-side to "Bennie And The Jets," but I never saw "Harmony" listed with "Bennie" on the Billboard, Cashbox, R&R or Record World charts.  

So, what was the story with "Harmony?"  Was this an official single albeit as a B-side?  If radio was playing this, why did it not chart anywhere especially in the airplay based R&R or in Billboard on one of its airplay charts like AC?  ("Harmony" was certainly a better fit for AC than "Bennie" ever was.)  Did it at least chart in Gavin?
