John’s influence was huge in The Beatles, before he went on to launch his solo career and the Plastic Ono Band. As a songwriter and performer John co-wrote a staggering 25 Number One hits on the hot 100 U.S. charts. Rebellious by nature, he was a pacifist at heart and was also involved in political activism. Born on October 9, 1940, his life was tragically taken in 1980, but we are left with the most wonderful legacy and library of John’s song to reflect upon and enjoy.
