The countdown started in 1976 when there was no reference other reference point, sadly 4 years after 1976 the Dakota would take on a new distinction.
Late on the 8th of December in 1980, the music world dramatically changed, & the possibility of a full Beatles reunion was lost, All_Those_Years_Ago.

Alan White "...performed with Lennon on the Imagine album and the single, "Instant Karma". When Lennon introduced White to George Harrison, he was asked to perform on the All Things Must Pass album."

After the Death_of_John_Lennon, there was no way that any reunion could ever take place. However, members from various bands have been known to sing & play each others songs from time to time.

The_Beatles Anthology_Project became the closest possible reunion.

No one seems to know why JL was drawn to live in between 2 buildings topped with twin towers.

The Dakota just seemed to be the right place to set up a big time residence in NYC.

It is a rare combination to have a movie with such stunning visuals along with an equally spectacular soundtrack.
Of course, there are many versions of the soundtrack & movie to appreciate.
