John Lennon Said 1 Song Turned the Plastic Ono Band Into The Beatles
John Lennon said one song turned the Plastic Ono Band into The Beatles. He said people undervalued Yoko Ono’s role in the Plastic Ono Band. He discussed how people reacted to the group after one of their songs became a huge hit.
John Lennon said people dismissed the Plastic Ono Band when they released their first song, “Give Peace a Chance.” Subsequently, he said another song transformed the Plastic Ono Band into The Beatles. The track in question was an international hit.
The book Lennon on Lennon: Conversations with John Lennon includes an interview from 1975. In it, John compared Wings to the Plastic Ono Band. “Wings is almost as conceptual a group as Plastic Ono Band,” he said.
“Plastic Ono was a conceptual group, meaning whoever was playing was the band,” he added. “And Wings keeps changing all the time. It’s conceptual. I mean, they’re backup men for Paul.”
