he married a 19 year old girl after reunited with John...and had a few kids wit her...John's half siblings... His mother and father died before he was5 and he was put in an orphange...don't be so hard on old Freddie...he had a rough life and was a debunker like his son JOhn!
John got his green card..so why didn't he visit all his relatives here in England? Mimi, his two half-sisters, Alfred, his many cousins, old pals in London and Liverpool..etc. He travelled abroad many times as can be seen in the book, ...er I've forgotten the title 'Summer...' something!
OH, SNAP, I see where John gets his voice sounds just like his father! Sounded like JL speaking and man does he not look like his daddy?! That old man couldn't have denied John in a court of law (a southern expression when someone looks just like their parent)! My goodness the gene pool is amazing isn't it?!
sounds so much like John, but not nearly as good as him. I'm glad this guy didn't name his son "ALF". You could almost hear Freddie doing a great "Come Together." It wasn't just John's great voice, but also this Liverpudlian accent.
Niel, I didn't know that the A side was a response to In My Life. Explain please. I don't get the association cause I don't know the story behind it. What do you mean? I'm intrigued.
@apeshitdig Julia wasn't exactly the most responsible mother herself. The entire Stanley family seemed dysfunctional to me (if Julia Bard is to be believed in "The Private John Lennon: The Untold Story from His Sister")...though I think she tends to give her mother a free pass. She does, however, write of the difficult life Alfred had growing up. And John essentially abandoned Julian...so in a sense he repeated his father's mistakes.
John looks like his dad.. that's for sure. We can't blame anyone for what happened.. we don't know the story. I'm sure his father loved him very much, and I'm sure his mother did too.. but sometimes the hardest thing to do is also the best.. John was brought up great by Mimi.. and she loved him very much too. I have this same problem.. and I really feel for John, but you can't dismiss his father as an asshole.. he was only human.
I guess John looked a *tad* like his dad, but he had a lot of his mom in him. She was apparently really beautiful, and since John was very handsome and Alf is, um, well...I think John probably favored his mom more.
john heard of jim morrisons death,and that the family sued and got money from jims estate--so lennon after reading this put a clause in his will stating that his family cannot sue his estate when he dies
Thought I knew so much about John Lennon-reading his bio right now and never knew he has 3 half sisters!Ingrid was concieved when Julia messed around behind Freddie's back with a soldier,but she was given up for adoption to a Norwegian couple.Julia and Jackie were from a guy named John Dykins, who she stayed with for many years.
I kind of like him if only for the fact that he gave us John Lennon. And I guess his attempts at making songs aren't as awful or embarrassing as some of the trash celeb parents do to their kids these days. I'm sure John probably wouldn't agree but he kind of missed the reality television revolution so...yeah.
Believe it or not, John eventually forgave his father because his father had written an autobiography and had it sent to John. John read it and he said something like, "All he wanted was for me to hear his side of the story." Then he called him when Alf was on his death bed and they mended things. I mean, they were estranged, but the deep seated outright hatred of his father was no longer there.
The thing that sounds similar between this song and Imagine and Watching the Wheels is the progression of I to IV, and back I. This has been used in songs ever since there have been songs, so it's a coincidence, but not even a strange one.
Spooky how much Freddie sounds like his famous son! Both have very good singing voices - Freddie was known for his great Al Jolson impression. I've read that John was completely embarassed by this song and tried to prevent its release but it didn't really matter because this song never charted or became a hit.
Read the book Daddy Come Home by Pauline Lennon, Alfred's second wife, and you will understand the image of Fred Lennon put forth by Lennon's Aunt Mimi was both unfair and factually inaccurate.
@fumetti Is that book available anywhere? I've never seen it at my local library. It would sound interesting to read and hear the perpsective of John's stepmother Pauline, who was a good 5 to 10 years younger than her famous stepson! It's also interesting you never hear from or about John's younger half-brothers. But then again they never really new him (partially because Yoko was notorious for keeping John's family away from him) so they probably don't have much to say......
Actually, it's not "THE SAME EXACT chord progression" -- it's a similar use of VERY COMMON chords. It also sounds like "Walk On The WIld SIde" -- did Lou Reed nick his classic track from Freddie Lennon too? Jesus.
This beginning is THE SAME EXACT chord progression from John's "Watching The Wheels!" Sounds like the same exact tempo, as well. I think the son stole some of this one from his infamous dad. Eerie...

@BillySeagull I wonder if John did it consciously or unconsciously, but this sounds nbot only like Watching the Whells, but it sounds just like Imagine beginning. Anyway john is the only who could stole it becasue it was his father, and i couldn't write a master piece stolen a tune from this song, John did it.
@WiltatKansas neither "Stole" eachother's music. in fact, Alf would never have wrote this if not for getting the idea of John. Maybe they were stylistically similar. I bet John hardly if ever listened to this since he never really liked his dad and felt abandoned I doubt he'd want to listen to anything by his father.
@4FabBEATLES It looks like John listened to it some day and then a different day years later he had that emlody in his mind and unconsciously he wrote Imgine with a very similar melody (but not only it, Watching the weels has the sam chord progression). Maybe you're right too, it's just the music that they had in their soul.

@dutchkollman The only thing John Lenin taught anyone was that he was a smug, shaggy-haired know-nothing with a squiggly Jewish nose and a brain sodden by drugs like a dirty diaper.
When I was a kid and teenager I thought all British people sounded the same, but since I have been obsessed with The Beatles I can tell a distinct difference between Liverpool/Manchester/Birmingham/Irish/Scottish accents. It really does sound different. It's like Asian people. Everyone always says "Japanese" or "Chinese" but there are distinct differences to their facial features and I can always spot an ethnic Chinese, Japanese, Laotian, Vietnamese, Korean, whatever. It's not that complicated.
When someone say's Freddie's music sounds like John's I expect compare the two and make my own conclusion. You admit it's nothing like John's after you say you disagree... it's hard for me to reply when you disagree with yourself in the same post.
If you think "she loves you" and "Please please me" should be classed in the same genre and mmmbo and backstreets back, so be it. I disagree. Early Beatles records were revolutionary, not some "la de dah do de" shite.
This sounds very sad. He's explaining to his son his side of the story. If you read his biography it shows that he didn't actually abandon his family at all. Its quite a tragedy really. He ended up dieing of cancer later in his life. They ended up reconciling there relationship in the end, but so much time that could of been spent was gone. I give props to Freddie Lennon for having the guts to record this for his son. RIP Freddie and John Lennon.
Alf is not that innocent. He basically kidnapped John and took him to Blackpool and he was going to go to New Zealand with him. Then, in one of the most traumatic situations of his childhood, he was forced to choose between Alf and Julia. He chose Alf and then he would choose Julia and so on and so forth. Eventually, he chose Alf, but then when Julia walked away after accepting the decision, he screamed at her "Mama don't go" and went with her instead. It ruined him psychologically.
John really wasn't that great of a father either. Bad father issues for both of them. Oh well. At least he was around for his son Julian, but not much. Eh, whatcha gonna do, right?
@NeilFraudstrong the circumstances regarding the trip to Blackpool was recounted in Alf's second wife's book, Daddy Come Home. He was not kidnapped. Julia agreed to the trip because Alf was John's father. They did blow up when he announced plans to go to New Zealand (which was the advice Aunt Mimi gave him).
@NeilFraudstrong That actually happened?? I thought it was just part of the fiction at "Nowhere Boy". Since I didn't know that version of the story I thought the filmmakers had distortioned that part of the true story.
Ingridthepoet - You only know what you've heard in the media. You don't know the truth. Freddie went to sea as a job - it was common for young Liverpudlian men in those days to do that, as jobs were scarce. I think Julia got into another affair after he was gone. More I do not know. But these things lead to problems.
@zephyrquartz Um....I don't listen to media I listened to Cynthia Lennon, well her book anyway....and do you know the truth?hmmm? where you there or something? I'm sure it was common to go to the sea at those days, it was common in sweden to, I live near a town like that and my mom grew up in a town like that. so where do you get your facts may I ask?
----and I know I wasn't there eather, but you should go around telling people that they're wrong when no one really knows the truth, exept for three people, who are dead
ingridthepoet - my point is that people are talking rot here about John Lennon and his family. I didn't even know until years after he was dead that he had two sisters! Did you know that?
@zephyrquartz accutally I did, and it's three sisters if I'm not wrong, Julia is one and the other one I don't remember...but one was named Victoria Elisabeth and she was given up for abortion, she's named Ingrid know, shocked me a little ^^ but she's in Norway know. + Freddie had like three daughters too so john must have a lot of sisters, bout 5-6 at least
@zephyrquartz yeah I can understand that, hoping to visit Liverpool sometime before I'm old and gray :) and I understand that people can say some nasty things about the Lennon's, and I'm sorry for that, and that I sometimes let's some nasty things slip out too, I'm quite nice acctually.
@NeilFraudstrong yeah well I don't remember that well, you're probably right..the adopted one was brought to Norway and got her name changed to Ingrid insted, that's what i remember hearing/reading
@NeilFraudstrong John also had two half brothers, David and Robin Lennon, born in 1969 and 1973...I had corresponded with David and he did have some correspondence with Yoko for a short time.
@viceisthename When have I ever said ledZeppelin7680 was wrong? :P I know I know, well I bet everything you hear that you can't prove do be eather wrong or right is mostly 50/50 ^^
How can That's My Life, recorded and released in 1964 by Freddie Lennon, be a response to In My Life, recorded by The Beatles in 1965 and released later that year on the Rubber Soul album?
This still aggravates me to no end. I mean how dare you say, "Get your facts right, Neilfraudstrong!!!!!" when I have been almost always correct on all of my information. I am never to ashamed to admit I am wrong when I am wrong and someone shows me proof (see: Jeff aka helterskelter1. He shows me lots of information I either hadn't uncovered or had not used in the right contexts. I love that, it helps the channel), but you make it sound like I don't know what in the hell I am talking about.
Furthermore, I think that because my channel is a success and that I have continually set the bar very high that people are expecting unreal expectations from me. If I mess up on one fact I get comments like that or 10 emails. PEOPLE MAKE ERRORS. IT'S PART OF BEING HUMAN.
I want to be judged for the ledger of my daily work, not one mistake when there are 500 other facts that are true.
I think the second song is better than the first , although they`re both good numbers . Freddie sang much better than I thought he would . It`s a pity he didn`t have a career as a singer like his son did .
There's a parallel withBrian Wilson's dad Murray and the 'Plumbers' Song'. Unlike Lennon, Murray Wilson was all too present in the Beach Boys studio life in the early sixties!
john lennon ....... song pirate ... "mmm well my dad wrote this song and jew epstein pulls it from the shelves, i will reuse this song with yoko's lyrics and make a fortune ...."
@plotchickens Not exactly my friend, and even so Freddie was his father, if i got inspired by my father and i write my greatest song i would be very proud.
It´s amazing how similar are their voices but only in the first song, I mean the way Freddie finished the words.......with the same John´s distinctive tone
That may be true, but it dosen't mean it "sounds like" it. I'm sure if we sat through all of Bruce Forsyth's albums were could find a verse or two with C and F.
I see you are still spewing your ignorance on you-tube FabFM--I heard "thats my life" on the radio today without knowing who was singing it and imediately thought of Johns voice-
No, you are absolutely right! It's the same chord progression but in a different key! Also sounds like Oasis' Don't Look Back In Anger, which openly lifted the Imagine intro. So... if John copped from his dad's single... the lineage would be...
Very Interesting. Perhaps John Lennon himself might have recorded something like this if he'd lived longer, who knows? In places, yes, his dad sounds like him. This is not a bad song; I like its reflective nature.
There are similarities between Freddie's and John's voices...and the music is a Beatle-ish sort-of mid-tempo,; I was surprised in that I found this record a lot better than I thot it would be. It isn't bad at all. Don't know if I'd pay lots of money for it, tho...

When I was a kid and teenager I thought all British people sounded the same, but since I have been obsessed with The Beatles I can tell a distinct difference between Liverpool/Manchester/Birmingham/Irish/Scottish accents. It really does sound different. It's like Asian people. Everyone always says "Japanese" or "Chinese" but there are distinct differences to their facial features and I can always spot an ethnic Chinese, Japanese, Laotian, Vietnamese, Korean, whatever. It's not that complicated.

This is true. John's paternal family came from Ireland. Either his great grandfather or his grandfather was the first Lennon to make the move.

When someone say's Freddie's music sounds like John's I expect compare the two and make my own conclusion. You admit it's nothing like John's after you say you disagree... it's hard for me to reply when you disagree with yourself in the same post.
If you think "she loves you" and "Please please me" should be classed in the same genre and mmmbo and backstreets back, so be it. I disagree. Early Beatles records were revolutionary, not some "la de dah do de" shite.

wow .... that's not even a song but John inherited his father's voice ....amazing ...
JohnLennon100 2 years ago
This sounds very sad. He's explaining to his son his side of the story. If you read his biography it shows that he didn't actually abandon his family at all. Its quite a tragedy really. He ended up dieing of cancer later in his life. They ended up reconciling there relationship in the end, but so much time that could of been spent was gone. I give props to Freddie Lennon for having the guts to record this for his son. RIP Freddie and John Lennon.

Alf is not that innocent. He basically kidnapped John and took him to Blackpool and he was going to go to New Zealand with him. Then, in one of the most traumatic situations of his childhood, he was forced to choose between Alf and Julia. He chose Alf and then he would choose Julia and so on and so forth. Eventually, he chose Alf, but then when Julia walked away after accepting the decision, he screamed at her "Mama don't go" and went with her instead. It ruined him psychologically.

John really wasn't that great of a father either. Bad father issues for both of them. Oh well. At least he was around for his son Julian, but not much. Eh, whatcha gonna do, right?

@NeilFraudstrong the circumstances regarding the trip to Blackpool was recounted in Alf's second wife's book, Daddy Come Home. He was not kidnapped. Julia agreed to the trip because Alf was John's father. They did blow up when he announced plans to go to New Zealand (which was the advice Aunt Mimi gave him).

Ingridthepoet - You only know what you've heard in the media. You don't know the truth. Freddie went to sea as a job - it was common for young Liverpudlian men in those days to do that, as jobs were scarce. I think Julia got into another affair after he was gone. More I do not know. But these things lead to problems.

@zephyrquartz Um....I don't listen to media I listened to Cynthia Lennon, well her book anyway....and do you know the truth?hmmm? where you there or something?

zephyrquartz 1 year ago
@zephyrquartz accutally I did, and it's three sisters if I'm not wrong, Julia is one and the other one I don't remember...but one was named Victoria Elisabeth and she was given up for abortion, she's named Ingrid know, shocked me a little ^^ but she's in Norway know. + Freddie had like three daughters too so john must have a lot of sisters, bout 5-6 at least

John was only aware I think of two of the three sisters. He died without knowing that one was given up for adoption.

How can That's My Life, recorded and released in 1964 by Freddie Lennon, be a response to In My Life, recorded by The Beatles in 1965 and released later that year on the Rubber Soul album?

NeilFraudstrong 2 years ago
This still aggravates me to no end. I mean how dare you say, "Get your facts right, Neilfraudstrong!!!!!" when I have been almost always correct on all of my information. I am never to ashamed to admit I am wrong when I am wrong and someone shows me proof (see: Jeff aka helterskelter1. He shows me lots of information I either hadn't uncovered or had not used in the right contexts. I love that, it helps the channel), but you make it sound like I don't know what in the hell I am talking about.
NeilFraudstrong 2 years ago
Furthermore, I think that because my channel is a success and that I have continually set the bar very high that people are expecting unreal expectations from me. If I mess up on one fact I get comments like that or 10 emails. PEOPLE MAKE ERRORS. IT'S PART OF BEING HUMAN.
I want to be judged for the ledger of my daily work, not one mistake when there are 500 other facts that are true.

No, you are absolutely right! It's the same chord progression but in a different key! Also sounds like Oasis' Don't Look Back In Anger, which openly lifted the Imagine intro. So... if John copped from his dad's single... the lineage would be...

Very Interesting. Perhaps John Lennon himself might have recorded something like this if he'd lived longer, who knows? In places, yes, his dad sounds like him. This is not a bad song; I like its reflective nature.

There are similarities between Freddie's and John's voices...and the music is a Beatle-ish sort-of mid-tempo,; I was surprised in that I found this record a lot better than I thot it would be. It isn't bad at all. Don't know if I'd pay lots of money for it, tho...
