Born in Liverpool, Lennon became involved in the skiffle craze as a teenager. In 1956, he formed The Quarrymen, which evolved into the Beatles in 1960. Sometimes called "the smart Beatle", Lennon initially was the group's de facto leader, a role he gradually ceded to McCartney. Through his songwriting in the Beatles, he embraced myriad musical influences, initially writing and co-writing rock and pop-oriented hit songs in the band's early years, then later incorporating experimental elements into his compositions in the latter half of the Beatles' career as his songs became known for their increasing innovation. Lennon soon expanded his work into other media by participating in numerous films, including How I Won the War, and authoring In His Own Write and A Spaniard in the Works, both collections of nonsense writings and line drawings. Starting with "All You Need Is Love", his songs were adopted as anthems by the anti-war movement and the larger counterculture of the 1960s. In 1969, he started the Plastic Ono Band with his second wife, multimedia artist Yoko Ono, held the two-week-long anti-war demonstration Bed-ins for Peace and left the Beatles to embark on a solo career.
Between 1968 and 1972, Lennon and Ono collaborated on many works, including a trilogy of avant-garde albums, several more films, his solo debut John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band and the international top-10 singles "Give Peace a Chance", "Instant Karma!", "Imagine", and "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)". Moving to New York City in 1971, his criticism of the Vietnam War resulted in a three-year deportation attempt by the Nixon administration. Lennon and Ono separated from 1973 to 1975, during which time he produced Harry Nilsson's album Pussy Cats. He also had chart-topping collaborations with Elton John ("Whatever Gets You thru the Night") and David Bowie ("Fame"). Following a five-year hiatus, Lennon returned to music in 1980 with the Ono collaboration Double Fantasy. He was murdered by a Beatles fan, Mark David Chapman, three weeks after the album's release.
As a performer, writer or co-writer, Lennon had 25 number-one singles in the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Double Fantasy, his best-selling album, won the 1981 Grammy Award for Album of the Year. That year, he won the Brit Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music. In 2002, Lennon was voted eighth in a BBC history poll of the 100 Greatest Britons. Rolling Stone ranked him the fifth-greatest singer and 38th greatest artist of all time. He was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame (in 1997) and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (twice, as a member of the Beatles in 1988 and as a solo artist in 1994).

"Don't Worry Kyoko" is a song by John Lennon, released in 1969 as a single by the Plastic Ono Band. The song is a live recording of a performance at the Lyceum Ballroom in London, and features Lennon's wife, Yoko Ono, on vocals. The song is a psychedelic jam, with Lennon's guitar and Ono's screams building to a frenzied climax.
The lyrics of the song are repetitive and minimalist, with the phrase "don't worry" repeated over and over again. This message of not worrying can be seen as a reaction to the tumultuous political and social climate of the late 1960s, when this song was recorded. The repetition of the phrase may also be seen as a form of meditation or mantra, encouraging the listener to let go of their worries and anxieties.
The inclusion of Ono's vocals, which consist mainly of screams and wordless wails, gives the song a sense of chaos and urgency. Her vocal performance can be seen as a call to action, encouraging the listener to join in the fight against injustice and oppression.
Overall, "Don't Worry Kyoko" is a powerful and experimental piece of music that captures the spirit of its time. Its message of not worrying and its use of repetitive, meditative lyrics and chaotic vocals make it a unique and unforgettable piece of music.
