[Sunday Music] Imagine.. Welcome to the **Sunday Music**! *Imagine a word at peace..* In these troubled times, it seemed appropriate to me to propose a song that is in a way a hymn to peace. **John Lennon** with the help of **Yoko Ono** wrote this song inspired by the hope of seeing one day a world at peace. For those who know a little about his career with the Beatles and after, alone or with Yoko, **he had already sent a strong message about peace** with the song: "**Give Peace A Chance**". "**Imagine**" was released in the United States on October 11, 1971 while the country was at war with Vietnam. The song is inspired by some of Yoko Ono's poems and evokes a world without religion, without war and without borders, with humanity as the only nationality. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Lennon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3_0GqPvr4U For the record, John Lennon founded **The Beatles** in 1957, the famous British musical quartet from Liverpool, England. The Beatles are composed of **John Lennon**, **Paul McCartney**, **George Harrison** and **Ringo Starr**. They revolutionized the history of music in the late 1960s, and wrote some of the most beautiful songs to this day. I think everyone has heard about the Beatles, and is familiar with some of their songs. John Lennon's Imagine has also been around the world. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beatles **Imagine** by **John Lennon & The Plastic Ono Band** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOgFZfRVaww As bonus.. Here the Fab 4 (The Beatles) performed "**Don't Let Me Down**" in their last public performance on the roof of their Apple Corps headquarters on January 30, 1969. The Beatles broke up the following year. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beatles%27_rooftop_concert https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCtzkaL2t_Y Another legend of the English rock, of the blues also mainly, **Eric Clapton**. Eric, who had strong links with The Beatles and particularly with **George Harrison**. Eric Clapton plays here live his song "**Wonderful Tonight**", a beautiful ballad and love song. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Clapton Clapton played for a while with the **Yardbirds** in 1963 before leaving to play with **John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers** in 1965. But it is probably in 1966 with the band **Cream** that Eric Clapton begins to really write the history of his legend. Cream is only a pretext for long improvisations on stage mixing blues and psychedelic rock. At the time it is even possible to see written on the walls of London: "*Clapton is God!*", so much his guitar play marks a whole generation. **Jimi Hendrix** will somehow dethrone him, but that's another story. Eric will then form **Blind Faith** with **Steve Winwood** in 1968, for the time of an album and a tour before definitively heading towards a solo career, which will also reveal itself very rich. And always current, his last album "**The Lady in the Balcony: Lockdown Sessions**" was released on November 12, 2021. For the anecdote, Eric Clapton contributed to the world discovery of **Bob Marley** since he covered one of his songs which became a hit very quickly: "*I shot the Sheriff*". **Wonderful Tonight** with **Eric Clapton**. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UprwkbzUX6g Friends, I hope you will have a "Wonderful Sunday"!
