  JOHN WINSTON ONO LENNON, M.B.E.

  (1940-1980)

  Was an iconic 20th-Century singer-songwriter of popular music with
   Paul McCartney as Lennon-McCartney throughout the 60's, and was
   a founding member of the Beatles.

Lennon's song writing was an integral part of the Beatles profound commercial and critical
impact.

His melodies written during the Lennon-McCartney era and later, in his solo career, are
distinctive and unashamedly romantic.
Lennon's song lyrics - for which he is best appreciated - reflected his personal and
philosophical outlook, career demands, his unease with his fame and current events.
He popularised the use of electronic effects in rock music.

Lennon as depicted on television and in films such as A HARD DAY'S NIGHT (1964), and by press
conferences and interviews revealed his rebellious, iconoclastic nature and quick, irreverent wit.
Lennon channelled his fame and penchant for controversy into his work as a peace activist, artist
and author.

He was murdered in New York City in 1980.

In 2002 the BBC polled the British public about the 100 greatest Britons of out time.
Respondents voted Lennon into eighth place.
