Tributes for John Lennon 33 Years After Assassination
John Winston Ono Lennon, MBE was an English musician, singer and songwriter who rose to worldwide fame as a founder member of the Beatles, the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed band in the history of popular music.
John was born in Liverpool October 9th, 1940 in the Great Brittan. He was slain outside his UWS Building. He was shot by Mark David Chapman at the entrance of the building where he lived, the Dakota, in New York City on 8 December 1980. Lennon had just returned from Record Plant Studio with his wife, Yoko Ono.
He and Paul McCartney became the most successful songwriting team of the 20th century.
The two wrote songs that became standards of a generation or two, and though other artists would over time sell more records and play to larger stadiums of fans, no one will ever match the impact of the Beatles. It was a time and place never to happen again. Not bad for a bunch of kids who simply loved playing and writing rock ‘n’ roll songs.
