Angela by John Lennon - **

First released: 1972

John and Yoko nicely sing this simple tune devoted to the work of Angela Davis. It seems to lack a bit of punch, especially during the chorus. It’s on "Some Time in New York City". The only personal attachment I have to this song is that Angela Davis was an instructor at San Francisco State University when I attended there from 1986-1988. I didn't officially meet her but passed by her on campus as she walking by with a student. I did meet David Peel as well, but that’s a story saved for the entry under the song "New York City".
