This week marks the anniversary of John Lennon's assassination.
He would have been 70 now had he not been shot on 8th December 1980.

What better way to remember than to just Imagine.

So for this Friday's Music Clip of the week is one of my favourite and in my opinion poignant Lennon songs "Imagine".
Written in 1971 and the title track for the Album of the same name it was one of Lennon's most successful solo releases.
In 2004, "Imagine" ranked #3 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time, behind The Rolling Stones' "Satisfaction" and Bob Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone".

A wonderful song about the hopes and dreams of a dreamer, a man that believed in the primal beauty of mankind and just hoped and imagined that we as a collective species could get it together and just live as one.

Imagine all of the people, living for the day.......

This song has been covered by an amazing range of artists, even President Bill Clinton gave it a crack.

Another classic from the same era - Give peace a chance from the love in protests.

From wikipedia:

As of 2010, Lennon's solo album sales in the United States exceed 14 million units, and as writer, co-writer or performer, he is responsible for 27 number-one singles on the US Hot 100 chart. In 2002, a BBC poll on the 100 Greatest Britons voted him eighth, and in 2008, Rolling Stone ranked him the fifth-greatest singer of all-time. He was posthumously inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1987 and into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994.
