John Lennon, rock star, transitioned to Lennon family man in New York City during the 1970s, finding freedom in the city's mayhem. Lennon and Yoko Ono moved to New York in 1971 following the breakup of the Beatles. During that time, Lennon wrote honest and poignant songs that spoke to a generation in the midst of political and social upheaval.
Watch photographer Bob Gruen and guitarist Earl Slick tell tales of private moments with Lennon, while PBS personalities and fans share memories triggered by his songs. American Masters: LENNONYC and PBS Arts mark the musical master's 70th birthday and 30th anniversary of his death by sharing your memories of Lennon - the man and his music.

A user-submitted slideshow of images from the December 14, 1980 Vigil for John Lennon in Central Park, NY. Produced by YouTube user VinnyH who took these photographs and says:
"I was 25 and a lifelong Beatles fan already. The typical longhaired guitar playing kid from Yonkers. After college I worked in various photography jobs and have always looked to these photos as my one venture into photo journalism. I try not to judge anyone but always thought that John Lennon was a cool guy who had gotten past his demons and was doing well. I was shocked when it happened and realized there are many different possibilities in life, not always what we want or expect."
