He was initially the group's de facto leader, a role gradually ceded to McCartney.
Starting in 1967, Lennon's lyrics began to espouse a pacifist message, and some of his songs were soon adopted as anthems by the anti-war movement and the larger counterculture.
From 1968 to 1972, he produced more than a dozen records with Ono, including a trilogy of avant-garde albums, his first solo LP "John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band", and the international top 10 singles "Give Peace a ChanceInstant Karma!Imagine" and "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)".
Lennon was known for the rebellious nature and acerbic wit in his music, writing, drawings, on film and in interviews.
He was controversial through his political and peace activism.
After moving to New York City in 1971, his criticism of the Vietnam War resulted in a three-year attempt by the Nixon administration to deport him.
In 1975, Lennon disengaged from the music business to raise his infant son Sean, and in 1980, returned with the Ono collaboration "Double Fantasy".
He was shot and killed in the archway of his Manhattan apartment building three weeks after the album's release.

"12-Bar Original" is an instrumental 12-bar blues by the Beatles.

Prior to editing, the length of take 2 was 6:36.
It is one of the few songs credited to Lennon/McCartney/Harrison/Starkey and published by Lenono Music, Inc., MPL Communications Ltd, Harrisongs Ltd., and
Startling Music Ltd. Other songs credited to all four Beatles include "Flying" from "Magical Mystery TourDig
It" from "Let It Be" and
"Christmas Time (Is Here Again)", the B-side to the 1995 single "Free as a Bird".
Of the Beatles, only John Lennon and Ringo Starr ever commented on the song.
During some US radio interviews, Lennon was asked if there were any unissued Beatles recordings, he replied that all he could recall was "some lousy 12 bar".
Starr told journalist Peter Palmiere that "we all wrote the track and I have an acetate of one of the versions".
The quote was later used by Palmiere in a Ringo Starr cover interview/story in DISCoveries magazine in 1993 and by Jim Berkenstadt and Belmo in their book "Black Market Beatles".
"12-Bar Original" was the Beatles' first instrumental after signing for EMI, and was produced by George Martin at EMI's Abbey Road Studios, London.

The song, a 12- bar blues, was written by Tulsa Western Swing bandleader Johnnie Lee Wills and steel guitarist Deacon Anderson and published in 1949.
Considered a novelty song, the lyrics consisted mostly of spelling out the title of the song; because of the spelling used in the song, it is sometimes referred to as" Ragg Mopp".
While Johnnie Lee Wills and his band recorded it for Bullet Records in 1950, the most popular version of this song was recorded by The Ames Brothers, and released by Coral Records as catalog number 60140.
The song was part of a double- sided hit; the flip side was" Sentimental Me."
The record first reached the Billboard magazine charts on January 6, 1950 and lasted 14 weeks on the chart, peaking at# 1.
The song was re-released in 1951 by Coral as catalog № 60397, with the flip side" Hoop- Dee- Doo".
The group re-recorded the song several times.
The 1950 recording is considered an example of proto-rock and roll as it contained elements that would later go into the defining of the genre.
