In 1971, John Lennon released two powerful anthems: Power to the People and which solo track?

• A. Imagine
• B. Jealous Guy
• C. Instant Karma
• D. Happy Xmas War Is Over

Answer: (A)

Lennon's 1971 output pairs a direct, rallying political stance with a universal dream for a better world. Imagine is the best match because it became his defining solo peace anthem, released on the 1971 Imagine album and issued as a single that year. The song asks listeners to envision a world without borders, possessions, or hunger—a timeless, hopeful counterpoint to the more urgent call to action in Power to the People. Other tracks listed don’t fit the exact year or vibe: Instant Karma came out in 1970 with a sharp, immediate edge; Happy Xmas War Is Over is a Christmas-season protest song; Jealous Guy is from the same era but did not serve as the prominent 1971 solo anthem. So Imagine best complements Power to the People as the standout 1971 solo track.
