John Lennon Power To The People Greek 7" vinyl single (7 inch record / 45) ![]() The “ultimate mix” and an outtake of “Power To The People” feature on the Imagine: The Ultimate Collection.John Lennon Walls And Bridges Canadian vinyl LP In America, the record, with a different Yoko song, “Touch Me,” came out on March 22 and it made the Hot 100 on April 3 and climbed to No.11 shortly afterward. It entered the UK chart on March 20 and eventually made No.7. Rather than re-record it, the song was remixed with heavy echo to cover what the record label felt were the offending lyrics. Originally slated for release on March 5, 1971, in the UK, it got delayed by a week after EMI objected to some of the lyrics to Yoko Ono’s “Open Your Box” that was on the b-side. “Power To The People” was completed between February 11 and 16 at Abbey Road Studios, during some early work on the album that became Imagine, with a band consisting of Klaus Voormann on bass, Billy Preston on piano and keyboards, Bobby Keys on saxophone and because Ringo was on holiday, Derek and the Dominos’ Jim Gordon stepped in to play drums among the backing singers were Yoko and Rosetta Hightower. According to John, “I wrote ‘Power to the People’ the same way I wrote ‘Give Peace a Chance,’ as something for the people to sing. Almost immediately John began writing a song inspired by the interview and the day afterward began work on the song at Ascot Sound Studios. After John and Yoko returned to the UK from Japan in January 1971, they gave an interview to political activists Tariq Ali and Robin Blackburn of the Marxist newspaper Red Mole.
