News that the pre-school child that inspired John Lennon to write Lucy In The Sky for the Beatles Sgt. Pepper album had died came a few weeks ago (story).   Lucy was a classmate of Julian Lennon when he came home from a nursery school and showed his father the picture he'd drawn of his friend.  Julian will honor Lucy Vodden again, this time in song.  Lennon was recording with James Scott Cook in New York when news of Lucy's death from Lupus reached him. Ironically, they were working on a song titled Lucy.  The pair decided to make the song a tribute to Vodden and to release it as a charity single to raise money for Lupus research in her honor.
