Give Peace A Chance
This is a classic by John Lennon. The song was
originally credited to Lennon-McCartney because it was recorded
while Lennon was still a Beatle in June of 1969 (even before the
Beatles classic Abbey Road album was recorded).
The idea came to Lennon during his and Yoko Ono's famous
Bed-In when a reporter asked John what he was trying to
do. John said, "All we are saying is give peace a chance,"
spontaneously, but he liked the phrase and set it to music for
the song.
He sang the song several times during the Bed-In, and
finally, on 1 June 1969, rented an 8-track tape machine from a
local music store and recorded it in bed.
