Requiem for the 60s dream. VIDEO Such a beautiful love song VIDEO And I've always liked this VIDEO Although John died on the 8th in USA, in the UK where he was born it was the 9th at the time. Which fits into John's obsession with the number 9. [Post edited 8 Dec 2020 14:34]

Imagine didn't get to No 1 until 1981.

Yep. Sandwiched by two Lennon No 1s as it knocked (Just like) Starting over off the top spot before Imagine took the No 1 in early 1981.

Imagine didn't knock the Christmas number one off it's spot. Lennon's Starting Over was the 1980 Christmas No 1. St Winifred then knocked that off just before New Year, which was in turn knocked off by Lennon with Imagine early in 1981.
