Peter Asher's Thoughts on The Beatles

[@patrickbarrett5650]

I grew up during all this creativity. Constantly hearing new releases. Where is today’s talent? Is anyone looking for it?

[@BeatlesFan1975]

Yea, there is talent but it's being used on all these terrible, disposable pop and hip hop songs 😢

[@BeatlesFan1975]

No, nobody is looking for it. Nobody is looking for Rock music anymore. It's all about pop, hip hop & some country, New Music has no meaning anymore , in my opinion .

[@californiahiker9616]

Peter, you have such an excellent memory! Thank you!

[@sallykohorst8803]

That was very nice.i enjoy your channel.

[@thebeatlesforever]

Thank you so much!

[@DrHogfan]

Paul messed up messing around on Jane Asher . She's still gorgeous.

[@BeatlesFan1975]

It's hilarious she thought he should be faithful. He was a Beatle. He had too much temptation. Paul did the right thing marrying Linda, she wasn't as high maintenance as Jane Asher

​@@BeatlesFan1975si EL realmente la hubiera amado y se proyectaba para compartir un futuro juntos le hubiera sido fiel de verdad, y ELLA que era tan adelantada para su época hubiera profundizado sobre quien era realmente su pareja; se veian muy bien juntos ... pero no compartían el mismo sentimiento 🤷‍♀️

[@shippy555]

Great video, but at 5:30 it should be "Bungalow" !

[@ceedoubleyou]

I heard that, "Do You Want To Know a Secret", was about Neil Aspinal hook up with Mona Best at the time.

[@DrHogfan]

Pete's Mom?

[@ceedoubleyou]

@@DrHogfan : Yes, they had a son together. Vincent Roag Best.

[@andyjay9346]

"A World Without Love" charted at #1 in Australia, April 1964.

[@farrellmcnulty909]

I remember hearing John laughed when he first heard World Without Love.

[@joetamaccio9475]

Good stuff . I was riveted thank you

Thank you so much. You have a wonderful day too!

Paul's father, James, knew the Asher's. For Paul to leave Liverpool to London, Paul's father insisted Paul stay with the Asher's. That's how Paul and Jane became an item. Boy was he teased. George, younger, was allowed his own flat.

[@thebeatlesforever]

Thank you for sharing that information. I didn't know that.

[@sharynloshakoff5404]

How would Jim McCartney, cotton salesman from Liverpool, know the upper middle class doctor/ researcher and Symphony musician, know each other? Paul met Jane at a BBC broadcast, dated her for a few months, & then missed a train to Liverpool The Ashers invited him to spend the night which developed in a 2 year stay w/ the Ashers until Paul bought his Cavendish St home.

[@user-mi1oh1bf2o]

@@sharynloshakoff5404 dated for a few months? Paul announced his engagement to Jane in America in 1968. At a newsconference. Jane said no. Ask mcmac. Ask Ritchie.

[@user-mi1oh1bf2o]

@@sharynloshakoff5404 Jane was with us in India. Dated a few months? You can Google this, Wikipedia. Weren't here in 1968. The announcing of Apple.

What a curious fantasy!

[@alabamabandofbrotherscampb8777]

Another wonderful video!

[@thebeatlesforever]

Thank you so much I appreciate it!

[@tubergetrude333]

this was informative and fun!

[@thebeatlesforever]

Thank you so much I appreciate it.

[@ericstewart9742]

I thought I knew everything about the Beatles

[@strathman7501]

Re Drive My Car, "George Harrison provided the great guitar licks" This could be misleading. All the lead guitar (mainly slide) was played by Paul. George's contribution is the guitar part that's doubled by the bass line all the way through.

[@homedog659]

I was hoping to hear Peter's thoughts, What we have is your thoughts about the Beatles.

[@hjs5686]

you didn´t pay attention - starting at 3:00 the narrator quotes from Peter Asher´s book "The Beatles From A-Zed"

[@lawsonj39]

The narrator would have been well advised to remind the listener more often that she was explaining what Peter Asher thought, but that's what she was doing.

[@spockboy]

Nice video : )

[@thebeatlesforever]

Thank you very much!

[@Larrymh07]

As a kindergartner I remember confusing Peter & Gordon with Chad & Jeremy. I still do.

[@thebeatlesforever]

I can see why you would be confused by them, they had a similar style. and sound.

[@user-rl4sx8nt1m]

If George was not the best singer In the world,then tell me why he did so many lead vocal's on the Decca audition recordings.I've read that Brian Epstein put together the song selection for that audition.Thing's worked out for them In the end,but that was one time they all should have put their foot down and they should have put their play list together.🖤

[@farrellmcnulty909]

Sheik of Araby and Besame Mucho were very funny, but a couple of Lennon-McCartney originals in their place might've landed them the contract. As it is, they were much better off with EMI. They might not have had such growth as they had if they were stuck at Decca.

[@MaccaBulsi]

Du hast ja von Musik gar keine Ahnung!

[@tomasfagerberg6323]

A fun fact is, that when George Martin were studying music to become a professional oboe player, he took his lessons at the same Asher apartment that Paul later livet in. And yes, George's teacher was Peter Ashers mother.

[@user-mi1oh1bf2o]

Someone knows their history.

[@user-mi1oh1bf2o]

You have come upon the mcmac Asher connection. Paul's father, James, was not keen on the move to London Brian needed. To assure Paul's father, George Martin sponsored the Asher's as a temporary home for Paul. Without this I don't know if Paul's dad would have been good. He never trusted that Lennon lad. Polite.

[@user-mi1oh1bf2o]

Most people don't realize George was only 17 when they were in Hamburg. They played dive bars. 17 in a dive bar playing until 4:00AM. imagine what he saw, experienced. Like Warhol in fall of 1966 in NY. NOT George someone else. George stayed in San Francisco after Candlestick.

[@tomasfagerberg6323]

@@user-mi1oh1bf2o Yes, he was only 17 the first time in Hamburg. Soon he become older... 😀

[@thebeatlesforever]

Thank you for your comment. That was interesting to know.

[@troygaspard6732]

Peter went on to manage and produce Linda Ronstandt through the 70s and 80s.

[@user-mi1oh1bf2o]

Who did he manage at Apple?

[@thebeatlesforever]

Peter headed up their A&R Artist and Repertoire department. When he personally signed James Taylor. He believed in James TAylor and quit Apple in 1970 to follow James Taylor to the United States.

[@deadandburied7626]

I know of Peter from his being producer to Linda Ronstadt.

[@DawnSuttonfabfour]

Subbed.

[@ivanconnolly7332]

"Don't pass me by " has the line "you wus in a car crash and you lost your hair", which is exactly what happened to Phil Spector later in the 70's.

[@thebeatlesforever]

Thanks for sharing. I didn't know about that.

[@ivanconnolly7332]

Heard that on "Nothing is real"podcast. yes Phil's wigs resulted from a car crash.@@thebeatlesforever

[@howardmann8689]

What happened to jane ashers father

[@thebeatlesforever]

I had to dig around a little. Wikipedia stated the following: In 1964 Asher suddenly gave up his hospital post and perhaps all medical activities.[4] He suffered from depression in later life and reportedly died by suicide at the age of 57

[@arar8792]

if u have a cellar full of noise brian epstein book have a review on that

[@thebeatlesforever]

I just released a video because of your suggestion. I will do a few more videos on the book. It is a good one.
