JOHN & YOKO - A LOVE STORY
by Sam Isakof 03 Jul '05

03 Jul '05

Dear Sirs, Re: JOHN & YOKO - A LOVE STORY (full feature 145 min.) =========================================== Set against some of the greatest music ever written, JOHN & YOKO tells the inside story of the extraordinary relationship between the most outspoken Beatle and the artist who changed his life. After 14 years of searching for peace, they found Paradise. Then on Dec. 8, 1980, after a recording session which later became a part of the Milk and Honey album, a figure emerged from the shadows of a dark New York street and John Lennon met his death. JOHN & YOKO is the true story of two incredibly talented artists who touched the lives of millions. The sound track of the picture includes some of the most famous songs: IMAGINE, HELP, COME TOGETHER, LET IT BE, SGT. PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND, STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER, I WANT YOU, OH MY LOVE, YELLOW SUBMARINE, GIVE PEACE A CHANCE, REVOLUTION 9, WHEN I'M SIXTY-FOUR, Dec.8.2005, will be the 25th anniversary of the assassination of John Lenon.. We believe that it will be appropriete to release a DVD of this extraordinary feature. Please let us know whether you might have an interest in releasing such DVD. Best regards, Sam Isakof. . --------------------------------- Yahoo! Sports Rekindle the Rivalries. Sign up for Fantasy Football
