Jealous Guy by John Lennon – ****

First released: 1971

Probably Lennon’s second most famous tune, next to "Imagine" and amazingly from the same album. The song was originally "Child of Nature" and written for The Beatles’ "White Album". When the song was rejected, it was resurrected three years later with new lyrics. When Lennon died, Roxy Music did a poignant cover version in 1981. The classic song was finally released as a single in 1988 for the "Imagine: John Lennon" soundtrack. It’s also on "The John Lennon Collection" from 1982, 1990’s "Lennon", "Lennon Legend" from 1997, "Instant Karma" from 2001, and "Working Class Hero" from 2005, and 2006’s "Remember". There’s also a demo version released on 1998’s "The John Lennon Anthology". A different demo snippet is featured on 2003's "Fly on the Wall".
