A lifetime of letters, collected for the first time, from the legendary musician and songwriter. John Lennon was one of the greatest songwriters the world has ever known, creator of "Help!", "Come Together", "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds", "Strawberry Fields Forever", "Imagine", and dozens more. But it was in his correspondences that he let his personality and poetry flow unguarded. Now, gathered for the first time in book form, are his letters to family, friends, strangers, and lovers from every point in his life. Funny, informative, wise, poetic, and sometimes heartbreaking, his letters illuminate a never-before-seen intimate side of the private genius. This groundbreaking collection of almost 300 letters and postcards has been edited and annotated by Hunter Davies, whose authorized biography The Beatles (1968) was published to great acclaim. With unparalleled knowledge of Lennon and his contemporaries, Davies reads between the lines of the artist's words, contextualizing them in Lennon's life and using them to reveal the man himself.

JOHN LENNON - Imagine: The True Story of a Music LegendThere are few people in the world that can say that they've never heard of the musical and life-inspiring idol, John Lennon. He's a man of many powerful ideas, many chart-topping songs, and many moments in the public eye. His quotes and the details of his life are some of the most unquestionably inspirational parts in some of the most volatile moments of world history. As a man, John Lennon has inspired millions with his peaceful activism, pacifism, and rebellious nature. From a young age, even the parents that knew him were well aware that he had the power to influence their children. When he grew older, even Richard Nixon felt threatened by the power of his words and managed to give him even more power by trying to deport him out of his Manhattan home in 1971. As a member of the Beatles, he rocked the charts and stole millions of hearts. They achieved mainstream success in the beginning of 1963 as a four person band; John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. Together, they were given recognition in the Queen's Birthday Honours in 1965 as Members of the Order of the British Empire. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame posthumously as a Beatle in 1998. Paul McCartney has said that the other Beatles idolised John and saw him as someone they could look up to and count on. This is the story of the man and his life.

The Words and Music of John Lennon by Ben Urish,Ken Bielen Pdf

After a brief biographical introduction, chronologically arranged chapters discuss his incredible body of work album-by-album and single-by-single. A discography and annotated bibliography conclude the book. Despite John Lennon's immense popularity, little attention has been paid to the overall efforts of his work apart from the Beatles. Yet his solo artistry not only illuminates what he gave to the Beatles (and what the Beatles experience gave to him), but also constitutes a significant contribution to popular music in general. Lennon was able to fuse experiments in technology, instrumentation, lyrics, and musical form into recordings that were both artistically and commercially successful. Whether expressing emotions, explaining philosophies, protesting social situations, or ruminating on the joys and pains of personal entanglements, few singer-songwriters have been his equal. In this long overdue investigation, authors Ben Urish and Ken Bielen give Lennon's artistry the opportunity to speak for itself. After a brief biographical introduction, chronologically arranged chapters discuss his incredible body of work album-by-album and single-by-single. A discography and annotated bibliography conclude the book. Although he is often lauded as a spokesperson for his generation, this praise, however intended, is far too limiting. Lennon was able to transform the intensely personal into the deeply universal (as well as the reverse), often with humor and pointed insight. At their core, his songs are simultaneously humanistic and transcendent. And as such, they-and he-continue to be relevant, and will certainly remain a valuable part of our cultural heritage for a long time to come.
John Lennon found everlasting superstardom as a member of the Beatles rock group of the 1960s. The second eldest of the group, John Lennon grew up in Liverpool, England, living with his Aunt Mimi.
