Nominated LP / LOST (Harrison) Lead vocal: George Recorded in eight takes on February 15, 1965. The introduction features Paul and George Martin on a Steinway piano and John playing an electric piano. On U.S. album: Beatles VI - Capitol LP The Beatles - Old Brown Shoe - Non-LP B-Side (Harrison) Lead vocal: George On February 25, 1969, his 26th birthday, George Harrison went to Abbey Road Studios and recorded elaborate eight-track demos of three of his latest compositions: “Old Brown Shoe,” “Something,” and “All Things Must Pass.” All three of the demos recorded this day can be found on the “Anthology 3” album. “Old Brown Shoe” had made a brief appearance near the end of the “Get Back” sessions with a few run-through/rehearsals on January 28, 1969. The full band revisited the song for a proper recording on April 16, 1969. The rhythm track was finished in four takes, with George on lead guitar, Paul on jangle piano, John on rhythm guitar (which would be erased in favor of a Hammond organ part played by George on April 18), and Ringo on drums. 1969. On U.S. album: Hey Jude - Capitol LP (1970) 3 George Harrison – Woman Don’t You Cry For Me – Thirty-Three & 1/3 ‘76 Originally written in Sweden in 1969 while George was on tour with Delaney & Bonnie and Clapton. It was almost included on All Things Must Pass, but ultimately wasn’t used until later on. The track has been described as “tough, almost funky” that was not unlike the music Eric Clapton was making at the time. 9.12 BREAK First Sunday with no NFL Football since like September…but ya do get 57th Grammys tonight Paul McCartney, Kanye West and and Rihanna are about to take their collaboration, "FourFiveSeconds," to the stage, as CBS has confirmed the trio will perform the song during the 57th annual Grammy Awards Sunday night. Instead of doing what we do every year and play the Beatles GRAMMY WINS….we’re gonna play The Beatles Grammy losses 1964-1970 First one LOST ALBUM OF THE YEAR 1966 (HELP!) 4 The Beatles - You’ve Got To Hide Your Love Away - Help! (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John Recorded in less than two hours on February 18, 1965. Written entirely by John Lennon, who freely admitted the obvious Bob Dylan influence. Lennon wrote this at Kenwood, his home on the St. George’s Hill estate in Weybridge, Surrey (where the Beatles would be photographed for the cover of their “Rubber Soul” album). John’s original lyric was “I can’t go on feeling two foot tall,” but when singing it for Paul the first time he accidentally said, two foot “small.” Lennon then laughed and said, “Let’s leave it … all those pseudes will really love it.” The first of their songs since “Love Me Do” in 1962 to feature an outside musician. Johnnie Scott provides the flute solo at the end of the song, though he is not credited on the album jacket. On U.S. album: Help! - Capitol LP LOST ALBUM OF THE YEAR 1966 (HELP!) The Beatles - For No One - Revolver (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: Paul Written entirely by Paul in March 1966 while on vacation with then-girlfriend Jane Asher at the Swiss ski resort of Klosters. The backing track was recorded in 10 takes on May 9, 1966 with only Paul (piano) and Ringo (drums) present. John and George do not 5 perform on this song. Overdubs included Paul on clavichord, and Ringo on cymbals and maracas. Paul’s lead vocal was recorded on May 16. The baroque-style French horn solo was credited to Alan Civil and recorded on May 19. Ringo’s original drum part was removed from the track in the reduction mixdown. The song was originally called “Why Did It Die?” Paul: “I was in Switzerland on my first skiing holiday. I'd done a bit of skiing in ‘Help!’ and quite liked it, so I went back and ended up in a little bathroom in a Swiss chalet writing ‘For No One.’ I remember the descending bass line trick that it's based on, and I remember the character in the song - the girl putting on her make-up.” On U.S. album: Revolver - Capitol LP LOST ALBUM OF THE YEAR (REVOLVER) 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. John Lennon pushed to have his “I Am The Walrus” as the A-side of the coupling with Paul’s “Hello, Goodbye,” but his song was deemed too unconventional and less commercial than Paul’s catchy tune. The title is inspired by the Walrus and the Carpenter from Lewis Carroll’s “Through The Looking Glass.” Lennon described his lyrics as purposely being Dylan-esque. On U.S. album: Magical Mystery Tour - Capitol LP LOST Nominated ALBUM OF THE YEAR (MMT) 6 The Beatles - Because - Abbey Road (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John, Paul and George The group recorded 23 takes on August 1, 1969, with George Martin on a Baldwin spinet electric harpsichord matching note with John on his Epiphone Casino electric guitar and Paul on his Rickenbacker bass guitar. For the backing track Ringo kept the beat gently tapping out a beat on the hi-hat. This was for the musician’s headphones and was not recorded on the tape. Take 16 was deemed the best backing track and John, Paul, and George added their lush harmonies to it. On August 4, the three recorded their vocals two more times, adding to the already thick layers of harmony. Lennon was inspired the write the song when he hear Yoko playing Beethoven’s piano sonata in C Sharp minor, opus 27 number two (aka “The Moonlight Sonata”). He asked her to play the chords backwards and wrote “Because” around that reversed chord sequence. The gorgeous three-part harmonies of “Because” are showcased on an a cappella mix of the song on the “Anthology 3” album. 7 LOST ALBUM OF THE YEAR (ABBEY RD ) Spinning Some Beatle Grammy nominations that they LOST on this th 57 Grammy Sunday 2015 BREAK HERE Some Beatle Grammy nominations that they LOST (read `em) The Beatles as solo artists had there share of nominations that they didn’t win….no one more than Paul who had 28 Grammy nominations as a solo artist…and we’re gonna play `em all right now… but we will play one…this next one didn’t win in 2001… Paul - Vanilla Sky - SDTK Got nomination for Grammy Award category Best Song Written for a Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media (from movie "Vanilla Sky" (2001) for "Vanilla Sky" 8 George Harrison – Stuck Inside A Cloud - Brainwashed ‘02 This is another intensely personal confession as song, relating how tough it is to part from things, alluding to battles with cancer and mortality (yet written years before he ever learned he was ill) and done in a direct non-maudlin manner. 2004 Got nomination for Grammy Award category Best Pop Vocal Album for "Brainwashed" John Lennon – I’m Losing You - Double Fantasy ‘80 This was another track where Cheap Trick had provided a very “Cold Turky-ish” backing track – that due to money issues between Cheap Trick management and Yoko – left them off the album for good. This version is a middle-of-the-road of sorts with the usual cast of Double Fantasy session musicians. 1982 Got nomination for Grammy Award category Best Pop Vocal Performance - Male for "Double Fantasy" 9 Some nominee’s from the SOLO Years that didn’t win…yet they are all winners HERE on BWTB 9.42 BREAK Have em say How about I’ll Cry Instead The Beatles - I’ll Cry Instead - A Hard Day’s Night (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John 10 A country-influenced Lennon-McCartney rocker recorded on June 1, 1964. John Lennon says that he wrote it for “A Hard Day’s Night,” but the film’s director, Richard Lester, didn’t like it and replaced it at the last minute with “Can’t Buy Me Love.” The decision to cut “I’ll Cry Instead” from the film was so last minute that the American soundtrack LP, which had been rush-released by United Artists Records, included “I’ll Cry Instead” in its song line-up. Released as a single in the U.S. on July 20, 1964. On U.S. album: A Hard Day’s Night - United Artists LP Something New - Capitol LP The Beatles - I’m Looking Through You - Rubber Soul (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: Paul Written by Paul after an argument with then-girlfriend, actress Jane Asher. Initially recorded on October 24, 1965, the song was re-recorded from scratch on November 6, but McCartney was still not satisfied. Four days later, on November 10, the group took another stab at it. Paul’s lead vocal was superimposed the next day. The version issued by Capitol Records has two false starts. On U.S. album: Rubber Soul - Capitol LP The Beatles - Doctor Robert - Revolver (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John John’s song about a doctor that dispenses pills and other comfort to his clients was rumored to be about Dr.
