The legacy of the Beatles has always been a part of Julian Lennon's life, a fact that evokes a series of complicated emotions from the son of the late John Lennon. But at the end of the day there is also closeness. So, when Julian unexpectedly crossed paths with Paul McCartney recently, it was an exciting occasion for all. Julian, 59, is a musician as well, a career he began in '84. Even before then, though, he was inspiring the creative process, as he's a driving force behind "Hey Jude" and "Good Night." He is the son of Lennon with first wife Cynthia. It was McCartney who primarily penned "Hey Jude" to comfort Julian with Lennon and Cynthia split up.

As The List notes, Yoko Ono, who Lennon eventually married, influenced his politics, career, and personal conduct, which had a ripple effect on his music. His relationship with her, though, started as an affair while Lennon was still married to Cynthia. The fallout made times very turbulent for Julian, who was just around five when his parents split.

"I started with the idea 'Hey Jules,' which was Julian," he said of the creation of "Hey Jude," continuing, "don't make it bad, take a sad song and make it better. Hey, try and deal with this terrible thing. I knew it was not going to be easy for him. I always feel sorry for kids in divorces."
