- Tuesday morning, Dec. 9th, 1980, ABC Television's "Good Morning America" featured extensive coverage of the tragic death of John Lennon. Hosts David Hartman and Stephanie Edwards interviewed many show business luminaries who knew John Lennon, or had worked with him during his career.
This is my video compilation of all the segments broadcast on "Good Morning America" that day, spanning most of the two hours dedicated to reporting on the death of Mr. Lennon. My entire compilation of all these "Good Morning America" segments has been edited into four separate videos.
In "Good Morning America" video one, David Hartman opens the 7 o'clock hour announcing the death of John Lennon. Mr. Hartman then introduces ABC news anchorman, Steve Bell, who provides all the "hard news" information surrounding Lennon's death. A news video is presented, featuring a voice-over by Geraldo Rivera, who had a friendship with John Lennon. In the last segment of video one, co-host Stephanie Edwards introduces Pat Collins, who files her news report live, just outside the front gate of the Dakota apartment building where John and his wife, Yoko Ono, had resided, and where John Lennon was shot.

So many Beautiful Songs, we will never hear. Miss his Voice.
that one guy in the bar who was just learning of the shooting, his reaction says it all
Shocking...still in 2018
John had so much to give to us. The man (if you want to call him that) that killed him took more away from us then just a person.
The Beard Dream, I call him an insect. I've forgiven him (I think), but anyone who so callously takes another human being's life is still not fit to be called a man or a woman in my estimation. But then, maybe they are because man is the most destructive force on the planet. Man is the only member of the animal kingdom who kills with premeditated thought and with extreme prejudice. Thankfully, most of us are not like that. It seems to only surface in those who have an evil heart.
I heard that
@@dootdoot94xo44 geez why do these videos attract so many attention-seeking hyper-religious lowlifes? You have been indoctrinated my friend. ‘You can’t mock God and get away with it’- so it was part of God’s plan to have him callously shot 4 times in the back? Do you listen to yourself? Do you have any friends? Geez man…
Thank you for posting these videos
I felt very uneasy just with how they play a clip of an interview John gave and the host, with the reality that John Lennon is dead, mentions that was something John said yesterday. Idk how exactly to explain it but it’s just gut wrenching, as someone born a decade after this happened, to be imagining a scenario where I’m speaking of John Lennon having been very much alive just yesterday in a reality where he’s now no longer with us.
I know what you mean, think about this at 5pm he finished that interview and went to the studio by 11:07pm hes dead and by 9am the next morning he was cremated, gone forever so quick. Its insane how fast he was gone
One irreplaceable guy, John Lennon is. Truly an irreparable loss.
R.i.p John Lennon 1940-1980😭😭😭😭😪😪😪🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Still monumentally heartbreaking. I was 7 and didn't know who he was but I remember my teacher being choked up over it that morning.
December 8, 1980

"I am going into an unknown future, but I'm still all here,
and still while there's life, there's hope."
John Lennon, December 8, 1980
John Lennon was the greatest singer-songwriter and the most influential political artist of the twentieth century. He was assassinated on Monday, December 8, 1980, walking into the Dakota, his home on the upper West side of Manhattan, New York City.
In mid-November of 1980, I told my closest friends, John Lennon was about to be assassinated. I told them the powers that be were going to blame it on a lone crazy deranged fan, and that this person would never have a trial. I don't know how I knew all of this would come to be, except to say that besides my parents, John Lennon, someone whom I had never met, was the most significant person in my life. Perhaps because of my lifelong adoration, I was tapped into a precognitive form of what Dr. Rupert Sheldrake postulated in his theory, Morphic Resonance.
I was driving my taxi in Manhattan on that beautifully warm Monday evening of December 8, 1980. At around 10 pm, I was traveling without any passengers, when I passed by the Dakota.
About an hour later, I was still driving my taxi while listening, as always, to Vin Scelsa on WNEW-FM 102.7, when he suddenly announced John Lennon had been shot. A short time later, while trying to hold back tears, he announced the death of John Lennon.

When Vin Scelsa broke this horrible news of John Lennon's death, I was with a woman passenger in my taxi. I was on East End Avenue, the same street where I was born, in Doctor's Hospital. As soon as my passenger heard the news, she immediately broke out crying. Soon there were tears in my eyes and rolling down my checks.
I composed myself, turned my off duty light on, and finished driving my passenger to her home in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn (one block from where my paternal Grandmother lived). I dropped her off, waited until she was inside her home safely, and then headed straight to the Dakota.
It was about 11:45 pm when I arrived, and already there was a large group of people gathered. I double-parked my Peugeot 504 taxi just about twenty feet West of the archway, in front of the Dakota.
I opened the sunroof of my taxi and placed a portable speaker on the roof so people could hear WNEW-FM live. Soon hundreds of people had gathered outside of the Dakota. Throughout that solemn night, thousands of fans arrived, mourned, and left.
I know about these thousands of people coming to pay their respects and grieve the tragic loss of John in the middle of the night because I stayed in front of the Dakota for the next nine hours.
It was heartbreakingly sad for me to witness. At any one time during the night, there were dozens of grown men and women openly weeping like babies.
These nine hours were the catalyst that transformed my life. I swore on John's blood that I would do everything I possibly could to enlighten humanity and make our world better for future generations.
And every day for the last forty years, I have been doing just that.

3:35 "nothing happened before today"
the best song writer ever!!!
John was such a light to our generation.
i love John lennon so much
Boy, when I tell you people hated on Yoko but John loved her to death. He did not give a frick a frack what people thought.
People still have nothing positive to say on Yoko. She's still in the spotlight 39 yrs later.
@The SNES Man or the fact Julian had to buy the letters his dad wrote to him from her
A horrible tragedy,he was a great great talent.
manny4552 Also a great great asshole and hypocrite
+bionicbigfoot you're not a great man yourself. and not even a musical genius. so shut a fuck up or i'll see to it.

39yrs without our English born JOHN LENNON from Liverpool UK
I hope marc chapman never gets released ROT 4 what you took away from me and other fans
✌🏼I think his mother would be proud of the man John Lennon had become.
If heaven does exist, I think John would be happy, because he's with his mother✌🏼😁
8:20 - kind of kitschy to hear the original theme from Good Morning America. Nice touch. Really liking this montage.
wow I still believe he's died brakes my heart to its core I was 18 or 17 my mind can't remember stuff anyway I was a papergirl then when I actually heard about John Lennon's death was at school I didn't have any emotions really but I was sad then for over 30 years I did not go one day without remembering that name.
Rest in Peace John Lennon you are a talented soul
This time still shocks people its like a scar but this is like an amputated leg the thing that keeps you moving and growing but now I feel I can’t walk I can’t feel anything towards this
The Duke! Dave Sholin is a nice guy, have known him for years from working in radio. Very kind and sincere.
not like the other reporter who interview John, who trashes J&Y still today
finnaly found this....still hard to watch
While watching this forty years ago, every now and than my mom would shout from the kitchen, "Did they give the weather yet?"
What a waste! I was only ten years old when this happened. I’ve always felt cheated by John’s murder.😔
You're not alone Sister Lori .
It would seem that this glowing image of Yoko Ono, they are painting here, did not age so well with fandom.
he had a very good songs
You can say that again. Just imagine the luck or whatever you want to call it, that he met a man just as good in a small town in England. Amazing.
So it was that the greatest legend in British pop music to date, fell not in Liverpool but in the rich archways of New York preaching nothing but love, peace and an end to war. The man who shall not be named lives on protected by the very system that let him carry his weapon. May he suffer a worse fate.
I will never forget that morning in Dublin as I went around my city and people were crying in cars and street corners here is a song I wrote about that day
"When dreams they bloom and die we ask the question why
The purpose of our lives for the ones that's left behind
To decipher and revel the message in the seed that makes us look inside
To where our love it hides because love it never dies love it never dies"

To Robbie Dunn, That's Really Beautiful.😀 God Bless You.
@The SNES Man Same. God Bless. 🎶🎸☮
Turned 31 on Dec. 9th 1980......we all lost a piece of us that night ( the 8th)...in my life JFK 1963 MLK 1968 RFK 1968 and John 1980.
The Beatles 1st album was released in 1963.
1962*
The guy in San Francisco has the exact same background as the interviewer in New York
I loved Johns music and his Tenacity to speak out and sing AGAINST the establishment GOVT, and War! He was a threat to GOVT who had banished him from our Country. No doubt, our GOVT was Responsible for Johns Assasination!!!!!
rip john
Is Yoko Ono still living?
What about Julian?, he wasn't with him a lot,
Take The Living and The Healthy.I like that Slogan
For Dave Sholl the death of John Lennon must have been like here today gone tomorrow
He died right after my birthday ;(
tony #JimMorrison 12/8/43
seven wounds from a six shot
Some bullets can hit more than one target. John’s case was five shots with seven wounds.
GOVT back then hated John bc of his honesty, messages in his music warning us AGAINST war BUT peace was foremost in his public rallies and walks AGAINST hate and subliminally AGAINST our ROGUE GOVT. John was a man for peace and Love, you can hear his words in his music. 'Imagine' says it all. He was an exceptional man and talent! His memory of Love will never die.
GOVT was threatened by Johns politics. I have NO doubt our GOVT was behind his Assasination. Thats what l thought, thats what l know!
RIP John.......
8:21
a screw ball wow that term dissapeared by 1990
That's what he was
it's a bad nightmare all over, there are no words for a sane person to eat it can't be true! he should have been shot long ago in Chapman's house that he knows what's hurting us John
Did I see John give a Hitler salute? 😆
F Chapman
John Lennon is the in a way the best of the song writers even though they are many others that have talent s of that but John Lennon hits home on Top of the world of that in my opinion
Anyone who is pro Second Amendment needs to see this video.
