** Many, ''many'' musicians recorded various tributes to Lennon after his murder in December 1980:
*** The surviving members of the Beatles released "All Those Years Ago", billed as a Music/GeorgeHarrison solo song, memorializing Lennon and referencing his work both with the band and as a solo artist.
*** Music/RoxyMusic recorded and released a CoverVersion of "Jealous Guy" as a non-album single memorializing Lennon two months after his murder.
*** Music/{{Queen|Band}}'s [[Music/HotSpace "Life Is Real (Song for Lennon)"]] is, as the title implies, a tribute to Lennon's memory following his killing two years prior. The band previously performed a CoverVersion of "Imagine" on stage the night after he died.
*** Music/EltonJohn's "Empty Garden (Hey Hey Johnny)" is a tribute to Lennon written after his death.
*** Music/PaulSimon's "The Late Great Johnny Ace" connects Lennon's killing to the 1954 suicide of the titular R&B singer and the 1963 assassination of UsefulNotes/JohnFKennedy. The key thread is that all three deaths were of famous people named John who had bullets put through their bodies.
*** Music/PinkFloyd guitarist David Gilmour wrote his solo song "Murder" as a reflection on Lennon's slaying.
*** Music/TheCranberries' 1996 song "I Just Shot John Lennon" is about the Beatle's murder.
*** Music/BobDylan, a major inspiration for Lennon, wrote "Roll On John" as a way of looking back on his killing over three decades later.

** In ''Film/ForrestGump'', the title character chats with Lennon on ''Series/TheDickCavettShow'' after becoming a famous ping-pong athlete. Gump's conversation with Lennon goes on to inspire the TitleTrack of ''Music/{{Imagine}}'', with Gump's narration contrasting this with the brutality of Lennon's murder.

Also, "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" never entered the Hot 100 because at the time ''Billboard'' put Christmas music in a separate chart.

Doesn’t that make more sense in YMMV than triviia. I disagree it doesn’t sound like John or that you wouldn’t know it

* BlackSheepHit: If you didn't already know "Whatever Gets You Thru the Night" was a Lennon song, you wouldn't guess it on first hearing. It's more R&B sounding than his usual work, and you can't pick out his voice because the song is for all intents and purposes a full duet with Music/EltonJohn. And it was his only US #1 solo hit during his lifetime.

** According to Yoko Ono as recounted in the Keith Badman book “The Beatles Off The Record: The Dream Is Over”, just days before his death, John had spoken of his plans to return to England and reunite with the other Beatles. Had this happened, it’s not unreasonable to think that the reunified Beatles could have made at least one more album together. The Fab Four were still only in their late thirties or early forties, and presumably could have completely reshaped the upcoming decade music-wise.
