Lennon 1971 and looking for the rasp

I got tagged in pesbuk on a post showing Ozzy Osbourne's cover of John Lennon's "How".  It's from Lennon's 1971 "Imagine" album, and I got reminded of how awesome that album is. It's a slow burner, seemingly simple songs that cut through after two or three spins of the vinyl. "Gimme Some Truth", "How", "How Do You Sleep", and that unassuming anthem since massacred by a thousand unworthy covers, "Imagine"

I'll steer away from "Imagine" and just do the B-side, "Oh My Love", which some critics say is the finest vocal performance of Lennon. Here's my take :

Oh My Love (Lennon cover)
