An instant classic when released in September 1971, John Lennon's Imagine was the ex-Beatle's solo masterpiece, and its musical legacy is matched here by priceless footage of Lennon's creative process, independently edited from original 16-millimeter footage by producer-director Andrew Solt with the hands-off approval of Lennon's widow, Yoko Ono. Incorporating footage from John and Yoko's original film Imagine (clips of which were previously included in the 1988 documentary Imagine: John Lennon), Gimme Some Truth presents Lennon, Ono, coproducer Phil Spector, and a host of gifted musicians in a fluid context of conflict, community, and craftsmanship. Bearing witness to every stage of the recording process, this 63-minute documentary succeeds as a visual diary, a study of familiar music in its infancy, and a revealing portrait of the then-30-year-old Lennon--from witty clown to confrontational perfectionist--at the peak of his post-Fab Four inspiration.

While Imagine wasn't John Lennon's first solo album, it was the work that clearly reaffirmed his place as one of the leading pop music visionaries of his day following the messy breakup of the Beatles in 1969. Gimme Some Truth: The Making of John Lennon's Imagine Album uses behind-the-scenes footage to document the production of one of Lennon's most enduring works. The album itself also appears in newly remixed and digitally remastered form, as approved by Yoko Ono. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide.

@zeromant80 It's on the DVD: Gimme Some Truth: The Making of John Lennon's Imagine Album

@steven3662 Yoko co-wrote Imagine. John said that in 1980 and that he didn't give her credit because he had too big of an ego back then. She co-wrote the lyrics and melody with John. She did the same with Oh My Love (with that song, she does get credit on the album).

Also, Yoko is a better piano player than John ever was. She's a classicaly trained pianist and can play Bach, Mozart, Beehtoven, and such.

Get your facts straight before making such comments.

@Emilyrevolver Also, she co-wrote Imagine as well. John admited it in 1980 that he had too big of a head at the time to give her credit.

So it seems that John isn't playing this on the middle C, but one octive down. Does that appear right to others? On my piano, it sounds much better one octive down from middle C. But then again, I pretty much suck at piano, so I don't know if I have it right.
