My God this is great. Whenever I find another one of these beautiful home demos, I'm reminded of the senseless evil that resulted in John being taken from the world. I can't believe that weak little creep with a gun has not taken his own life by now. This post is not in the spirit of JL, but Dec. 8 1980 still makes me sick. Thanks for posting this beans.
And this is just a spontaneous home recording. He would just turn on a tape recorder and work on his own songs, take after take. Then, in between, he would just spontaneously burst into a song from one of his idols. This is just a home jam he never thought anyone would ever hear. And it's STILL so complete and so beautiful.
John Lennon could never sound like shit. Increased clarity of recording just made him sound better. The Beatles would have sounded even better if they had today's equipment - just listen to some of Paul's concerts, the video of him doing Please Please Me had just outstanding sound. Of course you have a point with the demos, since Lennon was just trying to get the basic tracks of the melody and words down, he didn't expect anyone was going to listen to his tapes so he wasn't singing to impress.
John Lennon - Dyslexic!!! Like what planet are some of you people from! the most creative songwriting genius of the 20th century and someone thinks that because he likes to word play he is dyslexic! Take a look at some of his lyrics and see if you can change your opinion!
tony00165 has a slight learning disability. He makes different observations like "Lennon was slightly dyslexic". It hinders him with his posts rather than help him. He rides the short bus.
Thanks so much for posting! This is a beautiful Sam Cooke song from the '50s. How I wish John had officially recorded this! It could have been a great addition to his "Rock and Roll" album from 1974.
Lennon was slightly dyslexic..he used different words like 'here's a song by peggy Leg (Peggy Lee) and his book 'A spaniard in the works'..when asked how far Liverpool was from Leeds he said 'About two hours by potted shrimp'.. I it helped him with his music rather than hinder him. He had a very black humour . you'd laugh but feel guilty afterwards.He thought differently..I was looking at a stack of LP's once..the only one with the title the opposite way around was a Beatles one.....accident???
I didn't know it was a Sam Cook song. I thought it was some one else. I heard it a millon of times. I think John Lennon made it better like he did with Stand By Me.
We all know dat. We're just enjoying hearing John's cover as some of us may not have heard it before. Sam Cooke's one is excellent. Any unreleased or unheard songs of John's is fine by my n maybe da rest of us. Wat bout u?
Holy crap this is Awesome! I had no idea he ever sang this. I looove this song so much and I love John so much so now this is my new favorite video ever! He should have sang this as a duet with Sam Cooke.
I love all of John's influences Smokey Robinson , Sam Cooke and many other great musicians I think that has a lot to do in how wonderful his music turned out.
Lindíssima.
