A poignant tribute to John Lennon from radio 3GL in Geelong, broadcast December 1980 not long after his death.
This program is a 45-minute compilation of songs, stories, interviews and commentary covering his phenomenal career and telling his tumultuous life story - from his difficult childhood in Liverpool, to being a member of the biggest band in the world, and then his solo career and final years living in New York.
