(read) And yeah…later on today’s show… Producer of the new Ron Howard film on the Beatles…Eight Days A Week - The Touring Years – Nigel Sinclair will be calling in around 10AM… filling in for Jackie DeShannon …until then…. Cue-àhere’s the lads. 3 The Beatles - You Won’t See Me - Rubber Soul (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: Paul Written entirely by Paul. Recorded in two takes on November 11, 1965, at the final recording session for the “Rubber Soul” album. The song is notable for Paul’s melodic bass line, something new to rock and roll. Paul: “It was very Motown-flavored. It's got a James Jamerson feel. He was the Motown bass player, he was fabulous, the guy who did all those great melodic bass lines. It was him, me and Brian Wilson who were doing melodic bass lines at that time.” Beatles roadie Mal Evans is credited on the album’s back cover with playing Hammond organ on this track, but it is inaudible in the final mix. On U.S. album: Rubber Soul - Capitol LP The Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour - Magical Mystery Tour (EP) (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocals: Paul and John When Paul McCartney was in the U.S. in early April 1967 he came up with the idea for a Beatles television film about a mystery tour on a bus. During the April 11 flight back home he began writing lyrics for the title song and sketching out some ideas for the film. Upon his arrival in London, Paul pitched his idea to Brian Epstein who happily approved. Paul then met with John to go over the details and the two began work on the film’s title track. The title track was written primarily by Paul but was not finished when McCartney brought the song in to be recorded on April 25, 1967. John helped with the missing pieces during the session. On U.S. album: Magical Mystery Tour - Capitol LP 4 The Beatles - I Am The Walrus – Magical Mystery Tour (EP) (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John The Beatles’ sixteenth single release for EMI’s Parlophone label. On U.S. album: Magical Mystery Tour - Capitol LP 1967 saw the release of the Beatles’ greatest single combination (“Strawberry Fields Forever”/”Penny Lane”), their most critically-acclaimed album to date (“Sgt. Pepper”), a worldwide audience was clamoring to purchase their “All You Need Is Love” single, and, as December rolled around, they were enjoying yet another number one single for the record books (“Hello, Goodbye”/”I Am The Walrus”) and the double-EP set for the music from “Magical Mystery Tour” was selling briskly and would land at or near the top of the singles charts in Great Britain. The Beatles were on a roll. What could possibly go wrong? George Harrison – When We Was Fab (Harrison-Lynne) - Cloud Nine ‘87 While attending the Australian Grand Prix with Jeff Lynne in November 1986 – this track started out as “Aussie Fab.” George and Jeff would pull out the song every so often, tinkering with the sound and the now-famous piano riff (Jeff’s 5 concept). “Ausie” was soon replaced with “When We Were,” which was then refined by Derek Taylor to “When We Was.” To cement the “Fab” concept, Ringo added his first drumming contribution to a George record since “All Those Years Ago.” The song was released as the second single off the album, and did quite well, reaching the Top 25 in the Billboard charts. 9.27 BREAK Still to come live Kobe…Kate Taylor….(James sister) sing a Beatles song or two…Producer of the new Ron Howard film on the Beatles…Eight Days A Week - The Touring Years – Nigel Sinclair will be calling in around 10AM… filling in for Jackie DeShannon today. It’s the 15th anniversary of 9/11/2001…I had just started hosting the show…and I remember we got a memo of songs the radio station owners didn’t want the jocks to play…and at the top of the list was John Lennon’s Imagine… which threw me a bit…so I played like every version I had of it John Lennon – Imagine – Imagine ‘71 John’s most famous anthem, and one of the most memorable songs of all time, this was to be considered John’s “Yesterday.” It was inspired by Yoko’s poem “Cloud Piece” from 1963. It continues to have massive radio play to this very day and was infamously censored (and retracted) by Clear Channel following the 9/11 attacks. This was John’s dream – no religion, no wars, no possessions – his utopian ideal. George Harrison – Beware Of Darkness - The Concert for Bangla Desh ‘71 6 Paul & George’s Friends - All Things Must Pass – Concert For George John Lennon – New York City – Some Time In New York City ‘72 QUIZ #1 In the 1970’s who was the last Beatle to play in Madison Square Garden?

Eight Days A Week! 10.27 BREAK It’s that time of the show where you guys try and read my mind …I’ll think of a song real hard…you key in and read my mind! The Beatles - Wild Honey Pie - The Beatles (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: Paul The second of two Paul McCartney solo performances recorded on August 20, 1968, for the “White Album,” the first being “Mother Nature’s Son.” George Harrison had taken a week-long trip to Greece and on this particular day John and Ringo were in Abbey Road’s Studio Three recording a very short edit piece for “Yer Blues” (specifically, a “two, three…” count-in shouted by Ringo) and supervising the mono mix of “Revolution 9.” This left Paul alone in Studio Two to record and, in the case of “Wild Honey Pie,” experiment a little. Paul plays bass, electric and acoustic guitars, harpsichord, and drums. He also provides three vocal tracks. Running just 52 seconds, it is the shortest track on “The Beatles.” 11 The Beatles - A Taste of Honey – Please Please Me (Scott-Marlow) Lead vocal: Paul The Beatles knew that adding a variety of music styles to their stage act would garner them more bookings. They loved ballads and were always on the hunt for songs that would add a touch of ‘sophistication’ to their live show. Among the songs they found to fit this need was the ballad “A Taste Of Honey.” A popular instrumental of the day, the band came across a version with lyrics and added it to their repertoire in 1962. Bobby Scott’s original version won the Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Theme of 1962. The title was sometimes sung as “A waste of money” by Beatle John at 1962 and 1963 shows. Paul’s vocal was double-tracked here, the only time this was done on the debut LP. On U.S. albums: Introducing… The Beatles - Vee-Jay LP The Early Beatles - Capitol LP The Beatles - Honey Pie - The Beatles (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: Paul Similar in style to his “When I’m Sixty-Four” and “Your Mother Should Know,” “Honey Pie” is a 1920s-style vaudeville number written entirely by Paul McCartney. The demo recorded at George Harrison’s home in late May 1968, which can be heard on the “Anthology 3” album, shows the song was mostly intact as the Beatles began work on their new album, but at that stage it didn’t have the spoken introduction found in the final version: Paul McCartney – Flaming Pie – Flaming Pie ‘97 The title track, it evolved out of jam between Paul and Jeff Lynne (during recording of the track, “Souvenir”). It was recorded in a single session on February 27th, 1996. BREAK 12 A flaming taste of wild honey pie all from Paul… QUIZ #2 HERE We just played A Taste Of Honey found on the Beatles Please Please Me LP…for the prize…we said this many times over the years…what words did John Lennon sometimes sing instead of A Taste Of Honey….it rhymed …. 800-955-KLOS…play along at home…here’s a hint! The Beatles - Money (That’s What I Want) – With The Beatles (Bradford-Gordy) Lead vocal: John Originally recorded by Barrett Strong and released as a single on Motown’s Tamla and Anna labels in 1959 and 1960 respectively, peaking at #23 in 1960.

John Lennon – Steel and Glass - Walls And Bridges ‘74 Much like “How Do You Sleep” three years earlier, this is another blistering Lennon track that sets its sights on Allen Klein (who had contributed lyrics to “How Do You Sleep” those few years before). The Beatles - Revolution 1 - The Beatles 2 The first song recorded during the sessions for the “White Album.” At the time of its recording, this slower version was the only version of John Lennon’s “Revolution,” and it carried that titled without a “1” or a “9” in the title. Recording began on May 30, 1968, and 18 takes were recorded. On the final take, the first with a lead vocal, the song continued past the 4 1/2 minute mark and went onto an extended jam. It would end at 10:17 with John shouting to the others and to the control room “OK, I’ve had enough!” The final six minutes were pure chaos with discordant instrumental jamming, plenty of feedback, percussive clicks (which are heard in the song’s introduction as well), and John repeatedly screaming “alright” and moaning along with his girlfriend, Yoko Ono. Ono also spoke random streams of consciousness on the track such as “if you become naked.” This bizarre six-minute section was clipped off the version of what would become “Revolution 1” to form the basis of “Revolution 9.” Yoko’s “naked” line appears in the released version of “Revolution 9” at 7:53.

  • “My Girl”—The Temptations (1964) Added to the National Registry: 2017 Essay by Mark Ribowsky (Guest Post)*
    “My Girl”—The Temptations (1964) Added to the National Registry: 2017 Essay by Mark Ribowsky (guest post)* The Temptations, c. 1964 The Temptations’ 1964 recording of “My Girl” came at a critical confluence for the group, the Motown label, and a culture roiling with the first waves of the British invasion of popular music. The five-man cell of disparate souls, later to be codified by black disc jockeys as the “tall, tan, talented, titillating, tempting Temptations,” had been knocking around Motown’s corridors and studio for three years, cutting six failed singles before finally scoring on the charts that year with Smokey Robinson’s cleverly spunky “The Way You Do the Things You Do” that winter. It rose to number 11 on the pop chart and to the top of the R&B chart, an important marker on the music landscape altered by the Beatles’ conquest of America that year. Having Smokey to guide them was incalculably advantageous. Berry Gordy, the former street hustler who had founded Motown as a conduit for Detroit’s inner-city voices in 1959, invested a lot of trust in the baby-faced Robinson, who as front man of the Miracles delivered the company’s seminal number one R&B hit and million-selling single, “Shop Around.” Four years later, in 1964, he wrote and produced Mary Wells’ “My Guy,” Motown’s second number one pop hit. Gordy conquered the black urban market but craved the broader white pop audience. The Temptations were riders on that train. Formed in 1959 by Otis Williams, a leather-jacketed street singer, their original lineup consisted of Williams, Elbridge “Al” Bryant, bass singer Melvin Franklin and tenors Eddie Kendricks and Paul Williams.

  • Super Bowl Singles Sunday 2017
    1 TH PLAYLIST FEB. 5 2017 SUPER SINGLES SUNDAY As we feature the Beatles 1 PLUS LP 2 9AM The entire NEW Beatles 1 PLUS (including bonus highlights) The Beatles - Love Me Do – Please Please Me (McCartney-Lennon) Lead vocal: John and Paul The Beatles’ first single release for EMI’s Parlophone label. Released October 5, 1962, it reached #17 on the British charts. Principally written by Paul McCartney in 1958 and 1959. Recorded with three different drummers: Pete Best (June 6, 1962, EMI), Ringo Starr (September 4, 1962), and Andy White (September 11, 3 1962 with Ringo playing tambourine). The 45 rpm single lists the songwriters as Lennon-McCartney. One of several Beatles songs Paul McCartney owns with Yoko Ono. Starting with the songs recorded for their debut album on February 11, 1963, Lennon and McCartney’s output was attached to their Northern Songs publishing company. Because their first single was released before John and Paul had contracted with a music publisher, EMI assigned it to their own, a company called Ardmore and Beechwood, which took the two songs “Love Me Do” and “P.S. I Love You.” Decades later McCartney and Ono were able to purchase the songs for their respective companies, MPL Communications and Lenono Music. Fun fact: John Lennon shoplifted the harmonica he played on the song from a shop in Holland. On U.S. albums: Introducing… The Beatles (Version 1) - Vee-Jay LP The Early Beatles - Capitol LP The Beatles - From Me To You - A Collection of Beatles Oldies `66 (McCartney-Lennon) Lead vocal: John and Paul The Beatles’ third single release for EMI’s Parlophone label.

  • The Rutles: All You Need Is Cash
    SPOOFS The Rutles: All You Need Is Cash In the 1970s, Eric Idle, a former member of the legendary British com- edy team Monty Python, featured a Beatles parody song called “It Must Be Love” on Rutland Weekend Television, his own television show on BBC-2. The song had been written by Neil Innes, who had previously worked with Monty Python and the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band. The song was performed by ‘The Rutles’, a Beatles look-alike band featuring Neil Innes as the John Lennon character, and Eric Idle as the Paul McCartney character (vgl. Harry 1985: 69). In October 1976, the parody was shown on America’s NBC TV’s show Saturday Night Live as a se- quel to the running gag of a Beatles reunion for $3,000. The parody went down so well that Eric Idle and Neil Innes decided to produce a feature program about The Rutles for television. Idle, who was a close friend of George Harrison, was allowed to watch Neil Aspinall’s unreleased do- cumentary about The Beatles, called The Long and Winding Road. Aspi- nall’s film featured a bulk of famous footage of The Beatles, from their first televised performance at the Cavern Club in Liverpool to their last group performance on the roof of their Apple business building. Idle u- sed The Long and Winding Road as a model for his fake-documentary about The Rutles and basically re-told the history of The Beatles pro- jected upon this imaginary rock band, adding essential elements of par- ody and the Pythonesque sense of surreal humor.

Alphascript Publishing. Taschenbuch. Book Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'Free as a Bird' is a song performed by The Beatles. The single was released on 4 December 1995, as part of the promotion for the release of The Beatles Anthology video documentary and the band's Anthology 1 compilation album. The song had been written and recorded as a demo by John Lennon in 1977. Paul McCartney asked Lennon's widow Yoko Ono for any unreleased material by Lennon, and 'Free as a Bird' was chosen as being the song all three remaining Beatles could be involved in, as they could finish the arrangement and write extra lyrics. Je Lynne of Electric Light Orchestra was asked to co-produce the record as he had worked with George Harrison as part of The Traveling Wilburys. The music video for 'Free as a Bird' was produced by Vincent Joliet and directed by Joe Pytka (Space Jam) and depicts, from the point of view of a bird in flight, many references to The Beatles songs, such as 'Strawberry Fields Forever,' 'Penny Lane', 'Paperback Writer', 'A Day in the Life', 'Eleanor Rigby', 'Helter Skelter' and many, many more.
