Those who love to hear the songs of sixties and seventies, those who who love the real sweetness infused in musics; they would know who John Lennon was.
He had given very beautiful collection songs, individually and along with his companions in music. His wife was also very much helpful in his career as a singer.

I remember John Lennon by his wonderful song "Imagine". He had displayed his power as a singer and his desire of a noble man in this song.

The darling of every music lover’s heart, John Lennon was born on ninth October 1940 in Liverpool, England. He had founded the famous music group The Beatles with other colleagues. Apart from being the most successful one in commercial terminology, this group had put the entertainment in a new perspective.

Lennon: The Voice of Rebel

People loved Lennon for his unmatched sweetness of voice, his music and his song writing. But he had remained in news for his political activism, too. When he visited New York, he was well received by his music fans, but the political people were not happy with him. It was because John Lennon had publically talked against the war on Vietnam. There was no wonder that his music albums were the most popular music in USA and all around the world.

John had a very turbulent childhood. But he got love from many unexpected corners, his aunt included. Here is what John is believed to have said once: There were five women who were my family. Five strong, intelligent women. Five sisters. Those women were fantastic ... that was my first feminist education ... One happened to be my mother ... she just couldn't deal with life.

John Lennon: His Love Life

Lennon had relationships with his colleague women and had been married to another woman named Cynthia. But her love and married life with Yoko Ono had been one of the most talked about thing in the world of entertainment of the time.

The couple had also uneasy life, but they loved each other and they were really unable to live separate from each other. He had a son and Lennon had drawn various sketches of his son, which was published in Real Love: The Drawings for Sean. Sean was his son’s name.

The Tragic End of a Lovely Man

The legendary singe and a wonderful man had met a tragic end of his life. On December 8, 1980, he was shot dear, five bullets at point blank, by a man named Mark David Chapman. Before some hours this man, Mark David Chapman, had Lennon’s autograph, too. Lennon was cremated in New York.
