are notorious for the difficulty people have in using their material. Try sampling A Day In The Life and see how far you get.
But Tyrone Marshall, a Welsh singer-songwriter, has been able to sample one of John Lennon's last ever interviews and it's gaining him some coverage including in Lennon's home city.
Listen to a clip of Lovestance here:
"It's not out of our control; I still believe in love, peace... I still believe in positive thinking. People have the power. While there's life there's hope," says Lennon, in an interview recorded just 12 hours before his death.
, Marshall explained: "The samples come from an interview disc called John Lennon - Testimony... I thought the sample might be suitable and fit the song.
"I was amazed when I managed to get permission to use a sample of the interview. I was thought it was going to be really difficult, but luckily for me the interview disc didn't belong to the Lennon estate or Yoko Ono."
Having originally written Lovestance 17 years ago, Marshall is now able to release the song complete with the sample. It's coming out on 8 September on his own Whirlygig Records.
He said: "It's 30 years ago this year that John Lennon was murdered in New York and it's hoped that this single will continue to raise the issue of much-needed peace in the world, something that John was very passionate about."
Driven by interest in the Lennon sample, radio stations are now playing the single and Liverpool's Radio City may be joining the city's legendary Cavern Club in supporting it on the occasion of Lennon's 70th birthday.
