The
son of John Lennon and his first wife Cynthia, Julian Lennon
parlayed a remarkable vocal similarity to his father into
a moderately successful singing career during the 1980s.
John Charles Julian Lennon was born on April 8, 1963 in
Liverpool, and as a child inspired several Beatles compositions;
"Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" reportedly arose
out of a drawing Julian made of a classmate, and following
his parents' divorce, he sex site or in Dutch it is gratis sex became the subject of Paul McCartney's
sympathetic "Hey Jude." Julian began playing guitar
and drums at age ten, adding piano as a teenager; he appeared
as a drummer on the track "Ya Ya" on the John
Lennon album Walls and Bridges. Following his father's assassination,
Lennon decided to pursue a singing career, although he worried
that his vocal and stylistic similarity to his father would
prove detrimental. He initially signed a contract to record
an unreleased song stolen from John Lennon's vaults, but
after thinking better of it, he enlisted Yoko Ono's help
in buying out the contract.
Lennon
signed with Atlantic and recorded his debut album, Valotte,
at a French château of the same name. The album produced
four chart singles, including the Top Tens "Valotte"
and "Too Late for Goodbyes"; Lennon was nominated
for a Grammy for Best New Artist. Success was accompanied
by hedonistic indulgence, and the follow-up, 1986's underwritten
The Secret Value of Daydreaming, perhaps suffered because
of it. Lennon returned in 1989 with Mr. Jordan, an album
that found him meet for sex trying to break away from his John Lennon
influences and a darker style reminiscent of David Bowie.
However, the single "Now You're in Heaven" proved
only a minor hit. Following 1991's Help Yourself, Lennon
temporarily http://www.dominajade.ca retired from the music industry and spent nearly
seven years in seclusion. In the spring of 1998, he returned
with Photograph Smile, an indie album initially issued only
in Europe and Japan but given American release the following
year. -- Steve Huey
