LENNONYC : JOHN LENNON and JACK DOUGLAS, MUSIC PRODUCER ON ELVIS and the EARLY ROCK AND ROLLERS

LENNONYC is a documentary put out by PBS : AMERICAN MASTERS

Jack Douglas was the music producer of Lennon's album DOUBLE FANTASY.  In this film, he talks about the song "Starting Over" and John talks about that time in his life when he was reaching back to his roots in early Rock and Roll.

JACK :  "He's doing his Elvis Impersonation... the Elvis intonation.  It brought back the feeling of early Rock and Roll."

JOHN :  "It was tongue and cheek Elvis.  It was John Lennon - American Rock and Roll - not competing but enjoying it."

John Lennon goes on to mention Gene Vincent, Buddy Holly, and Elvis Presley as inspirations to him as a developing musician.
