Yoko Ono paid her tribute to her husband by releasing a song on this date called Walking on Thin Ice- For John. Lennon had been working on this song the day he was shot and killed outside The Record Plant.
The surviving Beatles, George Harrison, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr came together, in a way, to record All Those Years Ago to remember their friend and fellow Beatle. Starr had actually recorded the song for an upcoming album, but decided not to use. Harrison was featured on the track as well. Later, McCartney and his wife added vocals of their own, and the song was finally released. Although the three Beatles were never together when the song was recorded, it was the first post Beatles track to feature all three of them.
