It was 55 years ago today...
55 years ago today, history was made when John Lennon stumbled upon an antique shop in Sevenoaks, Kent during the filming of the music video for Strawberry Fields Forever. His curiosity was piqued by an old circus poster, which led to the creation of a timeless classic: Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite! It's clear that during this period, Lennon had a knack for turning the most unlikely of inspirations into hit songs - just take a look at A Day in the Life on Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band for another example.Also in News
