Offline Oh, you must be talking about the record producer, arranger, composer, conductor, audio engineer and musician who helped fill the gaps between the Beatles’ raw talent and the sound they wanted to achieve. Most of the Beatles’ orchestral arrangements and instrumentation (as well as frequent keyboard parts on the early records) were written or performed by him. It was this man’s idea to put a string quartet on “Yesterday “, against McCartney’s initial reluctance. On “In My Life “, he played a baroque piano solo. For “Eleanor Rigby ” he scored and conducted a strings-only accompaniment. For “I Am The Walrus “, he provided an original arrangement for brass, violins, cellos, and vocal ensemble. That guy.
Yeah, not many Beatles’ fans give him enough credit. His name is John Doe, I believe.
What kind of wood is John talking about on “Norwegian Wood ”?

At that point John climbed down the ladder and gave Yoko a weird look, saying ‘How the bloody hell did you manage to write that?’ Yoko shrugged and said ‘Who knows?’ Then John was smitten with her and they fell in twu love and got married. The end.
What is the title of the song written for the video game Destiny that Paul McCartney is officially releasing this Monday, ‘Hope For The Future ?’

Offline Dude, you need to learn your Beatles a little bit better. They don’t all live together on ONE album. They are spread across THREE albums. Sheeshhhh. The level of non-understanding of some people.
That’s right folks. That IS NOT a way to answer questions on the BB.
