What about Yesterday? One of the most frequently covered songs ever. Paul was no slouch. I think they were a fantastic song writing duo. Neither of them achieved anything in their post Beatles day close to what they produced collaborating with each other, imho.
I heard recently that the Beatles had made a decision to put out songs that would hit the Top 40 rather than produce more underground-style music in order to achieve fame, stardom and great wealth. Smart blokes.
When I was a 19 y/o kid in Ohio, I moved to LA and eventually found an apt in Hollywood.
One Saturday morning, KHJ was playing this new 2-record album and the guest DJ was explaining what was happening in the studio during the recording sessions. He did that for each song before playing it.
The album? Beatles “White Album”
The guest DJ? George Harrison
