Musical Interlude: All Those Years Ago (1981)

 George Harrison's "All Those Years Ago", a tribute to John Lennon, was released a month before ye scribe graduated from high school. The video is a montage of Beatles clips, including footage from "Help" & "A Hard Day's Night". Unofficially, it was a Beatles reunion of the surviving members, as Paul McCartney, along with then-wife Linda, contributed vocals, and Ringo Starr was on drums. Other guests included the McCartneys' Wings bandmate, Denny Laine, and Al Kooper. 

"Years" peaked at #2 on the Hot 100, blocked by Kim Carnes' "Bette Davis' Eyes".
