TODAY IN BEATLEDOM

October 15, 1984 The LP release of “Valotte” by Julian Lennon, including the hit single “Too Late For Goodbyes.” The single reached #6 on the US Mainstreak Rock Billboard charts.

We don’t usually discuss Beatle spawn here at Ringo Knows Best, but I felt compelled to mention this event for one big reason: had John been alive in 1984, I picture him singing something almost identical to this. The way Julian hits the words “cry” and “die” is eerily similar to his dad. Minus the hideous keyboard playing, it’s an identical performance to John.
