Julian Lennon to honor Inouye with new song
Julian Lennon, son of Beatles legend John, will perform his new song
this week at a dinner honoring Sen. Daniel Inouye (D-Hawaii).
The Wednesday dinner will benefit the Lupus Foundation of America, and awards will be presented to Inouye, Ted Turner and Human Genome Sciences/Glaxo Smith Kline. Two popular Democratic lawmakers will do the presenting: Reps. Jim Moran (D-Va.) and Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.).
{mosads}The new song, “Lucy,” will be performed by Julian Lennon and James Scott Cook, who are the co-writers.
“Lucy” was written in memory of one of Julian’s closest childhood friends, Lucy Vodden, who died of Lupus.
But this isn’t the first song Lucy Vodden has inspired. The classic Beatles tune “Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds” was written by Julian’s father after he saw a drawing Julian made of his friend Lucy when they were preschoolers.
