I’m a dinosaur so here is your dinosaur classic rock and roll tunes for the day. These come from the John Lennon/Phil Spector session around 1974-75. Both were going through tough times, but there was some pretty damned find music that came out of the sessions.
And, the most bizarre of the sessions tunes, Be My Baby.
Just because it is John Lennon does not mean that it is automatically good. John did a lot of crap too, incuding this version of Stand By Me. Still prefer Ben E King version. Even the Mickey Gilley version beats this.

Actually, Goose, I’m kinda partial to John’s version of Stand By me. Certainly not better than the original, but I think he does it justice. And you’re right, just because he was Lennon doesn’t mean some of his stuff was just so-so.

That’s what you have to love about music. Everyone’s tastes are different. As long as you love something!
