“Nobody Told Me” by John Lennon

"Nobody Told Me" comes from Milk and Honey, the 1984 album that also holds Yoko Ono's "O' Sanity", the single's B-side. Released on Polydor after John Lennon's death, it's his song top to bottom, written alone and produced with Ono, with a stacked band behind him: Lennon, Earl Slick and Hugh McCracken on electric guitars, Tony Levin on bass, Andy Newmark on drums, George Small on keyboards and Arthur Jenkins on percussion.

The promo clip was stitched together from his earlier videos, as most of his posthumous clips have been. It gave him one last lap of the top 10 on both sides of the Atlantic: number 6 in Britain in January 1984, his final new single to climb that high there, and number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100, his last American top 10 hit.
