John Winston Ono Lennon was a part of the legendary boy band The Beatles who is the most successful band in the history of pop music. The band was first named Quarrymen but changed to The Beatles in 1960. However, Lennon decided to go solo after a decade and produced his own albums titled "JohnLennon/Plastic Ono Band" and "Imagine". In 1969 he changed his name to John Ono Lennon, after his marriage with Yoko Ono. He decided to quit the music business momentarily to be able to take care of his son, Sean. A couple of years later, he came back with a new album titled "Double Fantasy." Unfortunately, he was killed just three weeks after his album's release.
In 2012, Lennon's album sold over 14 million copies in U.S. alone and 25 of his singles reached number one on the US Hot 100 chart. He was also voted as 8th in 100 Greatest Briton list of BBC poll and ranked 5th as the greatest singer of all time by Rolling Stone.
