    The Beatles are the gift that keeps on giving ❤

    One of my favorites is Ringl’s “It Don’t Come Easy’ written by George.

    I honestly never understood the Beatles/Stones rivalry, where you either liked one or the other. I loved both. They were both very different musically, but both were incredible at the time. Both bands were massive influences on my developing musical tastes throughout the 60's.

    By late 1974, Bowie was staying in New York City, where he met John Lennon during his "lost weekend" period of estrangement. Shortly after Lennon reunited with his wife Yoko Ono, the pair jammed together, leading to a one-day session at Electric Lady Studios in January 1975. There, Carlos Alomar had developed a guitar riff for Bowie's cover of "Footstompin'" by the Flares, which Bowie thought was "a waste" to give to a cover. Lennon, who was in the studio with them, came up with the hook when he started to sing "aim" over the riff, which Bowie turned into "Fame" and thereafter, according to Marc Spitz, wrote the rest of the lyrics to the song with Lennon. However, according to Doggett, Lennon made the "briefest lyrical contributions" that was "enough" to give him co-writing credit. Bowie later said that Lennon was the "energy" and the "inspiration" for "Fame", and that's why he received a co-writing credit. Lennon stated in a 1980 interview: "We took some Stevie Wonder middle eight and did it backwards, you know, and we made a record out of it!"

    How people can say the Beatles aren’t one of the all-timers is fucking beyond me.
  • Let's not forget "It Don't Come Easy", which George wrote and gave to Ringo to record. Great song!
  • @TooSkinnyKenny
    "It's For You" is on "Three Dog Night Captured Live at the Forum" but it sounds totally different . James Brown sampled "Fame". "Come and Get It" is on one of the Beatle Anthology collections.

    Can you even ‘imagine’ what music we could of had if John wasn’t murdered.
  • @peterbland7227
    The Rolling Stones/Beatles kerfuffle was just a promotional gambit by the Stones management.
  • @wendyhamm9722
    I love the band Badfinger! They were considered the second coming of the Beatles. On purpose.
  • Never knew that Keith Moon recorded 'Move Over Miss L.' Only familiar with John Lennon's version. Quite remarkable that the Beatles established Apple Records not only to record their own music, but also help other less well known artists get their music out there. Do not know of any group before or since offhand who has ever done that.
  • @michaeldiaz6224
    Why wasn't Ringo Starr included in the photo? The Beatles had four members, not three.
  • @joealomar-cu3qb
    when The Beatles broke up none were even 30 yet imagine if they had stuck it out all those 70's classics done by them (band on the run,imagine,it don't come easy, give me love), the sales figures would take an already staggering total to the trillions
  • Thanks for this video, very informative! Love LOVE both Lennon's and McCartney's talents, and it's so fun to learn they contributed so much to other artists' hits, that's amazing! None of the Lennon-penned tunes came as any surprise to me. But Lennon never had quite as much of a musical head on him, tune-wise, even George Martin said so. Their gifts were: Lennon lyrics - Mac melodies. I've long heard it said you can read Lennon, and you can hum McCartney - I think that's true! But that's why they made such a good team - so awesome!!!!!

    The Beatles had many facets, Lennon's music was always grittier, McCartney's sweeter. Between them & George's eastern influence & Ringo's solid drumming they often hit heights no one else has attained. Great early blues/rock, beautiful hippy era music, soothing ballads & a strong Message here & there.
