For 50th anniversary of "Imagine", the second studio album by John Lennon, released on 9 September 1971 by Apple Records.
Only three weeks after John Lennon had had two consecutive posthumous UK No.1 singles, he was the writer and inspiration of another. Roxy Music’s version of his song “Jealous Guy” climbed to the top of the chart on March 14, 1981.
Roxy’s only UK No.1 single came about because of their scheduled appearance, on the day after Lennon’s murder in December 1980, on a German TV show. Understandably moved to perform one of his songs in tribute, they chose one of Bryan Ferry’s favorites.
