Double Fantasy is the fifth album by John Lennon and Yoko Ono, released in 1980. It is also the seventh and final studio album released by Lennon during his lifetime. The album was initially poorly received. However, following Lennon's murder three weeks after its release, it became a worldwide commercial success and went on to win the 1981 Album of the Year award at the 24th Annual Grammy Awards.
The most distinctive thing about Double Fantasy, the last album John Lennon released during his lifetime, is the very thing that keeps it from being a graceful return to form from the singer/songwriter, returning to active duty after five years of self-imposed exile. As legend has it, Lennon spent those years in domestic bliss, being a husband, raising a baby, and, of course, baking bread
John Lennon & Yoko Ono’s final album together, 1980’s Double Fantasy, is a stirring mixture of songs about love and family as well as plenty of odes to unabashed rock ‘n’ roll. This new version, Double Fantasy Stripped Down, features the original album as well as Lennon & Ono’s original mix, which pares down the instrumentation and gives more focus to Lennon & Ono’s amazing vocals. John lennon & yoko ono - double fantasy (stripped down). 1. (Just Like) Starting Over 2. Kiss Kiss Kiss 3. Cleanup Time 4. Give Me Something 5. I'm Losing You 6. I'm Moving On 7. Beautiful.

Double Fantasy muestra un Lennon padre de familia reconciliado con la vida, agradecido con ella por tener un hijo, un hijo dificil de concebir con Yoko por tantos años. Le dedica Beautiful Boy, la mejor cancion que un padre le pueda dedicar a un hijo, un hijo deseado por supuesto, sino habria que preguntarle al pobre Julian. En Watching The Wheels, John le explica a sus seguidores el por que de sus 5 años de retiro, y que no desea mas volver a estar en medio de la beatlemania. Woman, es una perfecta cancion de amor, es la Girl del Rubber Soul que se hizo mujer, es su version de Girl en 1980. Although Yoko Ono made a valiant and even comical attempt at singing, she adds a nice dedication of their love for one another.
John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band.
