ON THIS DAY IN BEATLES HISTORY: December 4th 1995; Free As A Bird b/w Christmas Time (Is Here Again) was released in the UK, peaking at No2. It would peak at No4 in the US charts. John Lennon recorded this as a demo in 1977. The other Beatles recorded around his tracks to complete song in 1994. The next year, it was released as a single. Yoko Ono agreed to release Lennons demo to the other Beatles the day after he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Yoko got a bad rap by a lot of Beatles fans, but she has been very protective of Lennons legacy. This is one of the few projects she has authorized on his behalf. Before their breakup, The Beatles won just four Grammy Awards, but they picked up three more in 1997 when Free As A Bird won for Best Pop Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal and Best Music Video, Short Form, and Anthology won Best Music Video, Long Form. Heres a video that combines all 4 Beatles playing Free As A Bird and a recording of Christmas Time (Is Here Again).....Enjoy!
