“Julia”

Side 2 of the White Album closes with the only pure Lennon solo effort while with the Beatles. The song is titled after John’s mother Julia, who died in a car accident when he was 17. She was far from the greatest parent, giving him to her sister Mimi to raise from youth, but mother and son were getting closer at the time of her death. A softer side of John on display here, the final track recorded for the LP.
