John Lennon Video Essentials
Apple Music
John Lennon sings every song with total intensity. But that earnestness is occasionally undercut by a wink or wry smile, which is in turn undercut by Yoko Ono's deadpan presence next to him, so his performance videos are always a gripping emotional ride. Those clips made of home-movie footage show a vulnerable, romantic side to his character, emphasising the human warmth within the strident passion of his songs.
