The Late Great Johnny Ace by Paul Simon off of Hearts and Bones Circa 1983

I posted this back on July 19 of this year and for whatever reason I’m just thinking of this song right now as we come close to the anniversary of the of the murder and subsequent death of John Lennon.

I was thinking of writing a post about this, and I forgotten that I already had. Just wanted to re-share it with many of you who may not have seen it before or may not be allowed to see it for other reasons I can’t control.

I hope you enjoy it again or for the first time and please listen to this song. It’ll really do something to you. It has everything like I mention in my brief article below.

This just does something to me every time I hear it. it’s got everything hope happiness, love, sadness, heartbreak, and this beautiful eulogy at the end in this lovely coda by Philip Glass. It’ll break your heart. A touching tribute to Johnny Ace and John Lennon.

Check it out below, I think a lot of you may not be familiar with it.
