Peace, as seen on a Harlem sidewalk

52 years ago, John Lennon and Yoko Ono recorded a Christmas song with 30 children from The Harlem Community Choir aged around 4-12. On October 31 the children visited Lennon and Ono at The Record Plant and recorded the chorus and counter-melody backing vocals on the verses.

The song was built on John and Yoko's 'War is Over' billboard campaign from 1969, and following the success of 'Imagine'.

John had recorded an acoustic demo of the song at the St Regis Hotel in New York City in October 1971, before going to the Record Plant Studio with Phil Spector on Thursday, October 28, but a key moment came on the afternoon of Halloween with the Harlem children.

The Harlem singers would be aged from their mid-50s to mid 60s today.
