That Sixties Music - The 1958 McCARTNEY SONG THAT NOBODY WANTED - Not Even The Beatles

He wrote it when he was 16 and didn’t like it. It remained unfinished and unpublished until 1964 when it became a top 10 international hit.
But the Beatles didn’t record it.

[@harrynutzach307]

I'm sitting there with my youngest daughter (25 years old) and we're watching that "Get Back" documentary... the episode where Paul McCartney was writing the song "The Long And Winding Road" in the studio with the cameras rolling. He starts off with the first verse written, and he's starting to flesh out the second verse singing "The wild and windy night...something something, something something..." By the end of that episode he's got the song fully done and we're both floored. I look over and she's actually crying. She says "I can't believe I'm sitting here literally watching him create this beautiful masterpiece." The man is a genius.

Cool story🥳🔔🌪️

[@dogscratchedoor]

One of the best Beatles songs imo

[@rogerjane1350]

Paul is AMAZING‼️💪💪

[@glennwallace9203]

He was in Jamaica and dinner with Dustin Hoffman who said he didn't believe Paul could write a song about anything, and they pulled out a magazine which had an article about Picasso's death and last words, and Paul sat there with a guitar and wrote "Picasso's Last Words" (from Band on the Run) right in front of him. Dustin Hoffman was blown away and said to his wife "look he's doing it right in front of us!"

[@lissajean]

It was a kind gesture from Paul to give away a song to a friend. Oh how wonderful and free is youth!😊

[@the_guitar_trooper]

It may not have been entirely altruistic. He was, after all, dating the guy’s sister rather seriously.

We could tell it was a McCartney song. That Peter was his girlfriends brother was a give away. Then, later, we found it indeed was. My brother was a big fan of credits. He knew every song writer, movie director and so forth

Dusty Ray Vaughn here. I had a Beatles single on Tollie Records: There's a Place/Twist and Shout before Introducing the Beatles was available here. Any thoughts?

TOLLIE started the label with a huge hit, the 45 of the Beatles' "Twist And Shout"/"There's A Place" It was taken from the Vee-Jay Beatles album, which was part of Capitol Records. Initial orders for the single reportedly topped 428,000 copies. (a side note) A second Beatles single, "Love Me Do"/"P.S. I Love You" was also a huge hit QUESTIONS? [ ] is your copy 45RPM or 33-1/3? [ ] what is the item number (its printers on the label? (if you have multiple releases include them) [ ] What is the condition of the Album Cover? [ ] What is the condition of the record? Regarding the printed label … [ ] is it purple, w/silver printing, & "TOLLIE RECORDS" in yellow above the center hole in a box made up of four pink lines? [ ] is it white l, with black printing, with "TOLLIE RECORDS" above the center hole in a printed box? Is there additional printed information? What does it say? [ ] is it yellow with black print, with a basic design and no graphics? [ ] You are a part of history and I for one am honored to converse with you in any way possible. Digital music doesn’t sound as good as vinyl and social media has diluted the real talent of the world by auto tuning voice and instruments YOU ARE THE REAL DEAL AND DON’T LET ANYBODY MAKE YOU THINK OTHERWISE!

[@chrisstewart8259]

I remember dancing at a concert in local dance hall in Warrington UK about 1963. Top of the bill were these buys, Peter & Gordon. Just before they came on the MC announced that they could not come as one them had layringitis, so the dance would continue using the early acts, The Merseybeats & The Undertakers, two real rocking bands totally polar opposites to these two. It brought the house down and we carried on bopping and rocking the night away! No wonder John Lennon is quoted as saying he would never sing or record a dismal, dreary, song that started with the words, "please lock me away". Peter and Gordon were not real welcome on Merseyside back then, swamped with so many really talented bands that came out of Liverpool and Manchester. Love those days.

Sir Paul is an absolute treasure. I am so blessed that I have been able to grow up from a young boy listening to him as a Beatle and then his solo career. The more I learn about him the more amazed I am. Greater than Leonardo Da Vinci?

Actually, thinking about it, maybe "knocked it for six" would be an understatement anyway. I'll keep the baseball reference. ;) Thank you, Trooper.

Hey David! Thanks for the great comment and kind words!! And - I might know more British slang than you think. Might In 1964, I spent 3 months living in London - in Saint John’s Wood, no less - just a block or 2 from both EMI and Macaa’s home) Please help me spread the love 💕 by sharing the videos!!!

McCartney's demo of "World Without Love" shows a different feel to the song. Once the song was in the hands of Peter & Gordon and their producer it was a vast improvement to the song. Definitely not a song for the Beatles. Lennon and Harrison thought the line "Please lock me away" was a joke. Imagine their amazement when the song became a number one song in many countries.

[@Bella-nt7ec]

No, when Paul performs a song it has a completely different feel to it, outworldly

I used to hear A World Without Love on the AM dial when it first came out but I never heard of the song Woman. I looked for it on KZbin and I played it for about 15 seconds. It's lacking. Now I know why I never heard of it. I probably changed the station when it came on.

Love the video and rhe song , I met Paul when he started his publishing company in Soho as me and a friend had an office on the second floor.

[@the_guitar_trooper]

Nice!

[@joseenriqueagutaya131]

Im not surprise the Beatles did not record this song even though im sure its John Lennon who dislike becàuse Paul wrote it not him.

[@the_guitar_trooper]

I’m not sure about that one. Both of them helped to record other songs that they personally didn’t like, written by the other guy.

[@DeadlyKiss000]

Beautiful melody! Stunning song!

[@romecottrell6444]

Wow ! I do think that the Beatles should have produced both A World Without Love and Woman. This is 2 songs 🎵 that goes well with them 👌.

[@the_guitar_trooper]

I dunno what to think. Both Macaa and Lennon were cranking out so many songs that could afford to flip several to other performers and never miss them.

[@jillfarley520]

You cant deny that Paul was one of the greatest musicians of the 60s and 70s. I'm sooo happy that I was alive at this time to hear his music. Thanks Paul.

[@doc6269]

As I watched and listened to your video, I noticed that your voice is very easy on the ears. You remind me of a very famous voice we used to hear every week on the radio. Mr. Casey Kasem. The way you have with words, as you report on people and songs, really reminded me of him. Keep up the good work. Loved your video, by the way. I liked and subscribed to your channel hoping to hear more like this one. Thanks again.

[@the_guitar_trooper]

Thanks SO VERY MUCH for your view, support, and kind words! There are many out there and new ones posted as I have time to produce them. Check out the main channel page and the playlists. You can binge on a playlist of Beatles subjects!

[@stephenbaker7079]

Hello from England ~ I was a teenager at the time the Beatles hit the scene. Up until then the most popular songs were mainly solo artists. This radically changed as more and more groups followed in the wake of the Beatles. There was no other group like them! At one point the New Musical Express paper list all top-ten best selling records as Beatles songs (perhaps someone could verify that). The Beatles spearheaded the famous 'British Invasion' and encouraged other groups to follow. The Beach Boys from the 'good ole USA' were a fabulous group much loved and admired by me, who had their own unique style: 'Good Vibrations' was a particular favourite of mine.

[@the_guitar_trooper]

"A World Without Love," is another example of how one recording artist can influence the sound and careers of other artists, thereby perpetuating all that is good about music.

[@the_guitar_trooper]

Well said!

[@JamesCallas-b5v]

My youth, Camp Urland, Woodville, TX Summer Camp, Peter & Gordon, " A World Without Love" how fabulous a story about a song I truly loved. That summer a local church in Woodville, invited the staff to a social and we all went. That song was playing and i remember with my extremely shy self to interact with a couple of the girls there. A Great Memory for my 15 year old self. Thanks for the full background on this wonderful 60's era song.
