Holy Moly First Time Hearing | The Beatles - Taxman Reaction 

Trivia: What beatles song has two entirely different bass lines running at the same time.

The Earth Wind And Fire version is, in my opinion, one of the only two Beatles covers that is better than the original ...that and maybe Joe Cocker's With A Little Help From My Friends.

@@tonycasey3183 Respectfully disagree. I love the original so so much. Far superior.

Don't get me wrong, I am a massive Beatles fan and I find most covers of Beatles tunes a poor copy. The EWaF version of Got To Get You Into My Life is the version The Beatles would have done if they had thought of it. It is also the ONLY good thing that came out of The Bee Gees Sgt Pepper movie. But, hey. we all have different tastes.

It was about George finding he was in the UK's 'super-tax' bracket in which 95% of his income went to the tax office, leaving just 5% for him. I don't think it exists any more in Britain and pretty sure there's nothing like it in the US currently. This was just for the very wealthiest in society - but since the Beatles had only just entered that exalted sphere, having come from relatively poor, working class backgrounds, it was all a bit of a shock for them, and didn't seem fair when they had worked so hard for so long to get to where they were.

I never considered that a misfortune. He didn't consider writing a song before joining the band, then was fortunate enough to attend a masterclass of songwriting. As the Get Back doc revealed, the Beatles helped each other on songs. George wrote his best stuff as a member of the band or immediately following the breakup.

Had he been in any other group of the period he'd have had MANY songs on each album, but that's the price you pay for being in a band with Paul McCartney and John Lennon!

Sorry but producer sir George Martin is the fifth Beatle, by rights of longevity and more participation, stuck with them all the way through, and participated in enabling their creativeness. Most producers would not have done that. Preston was a guest artist on the last two albums, a great musician, but hardly participated like Martin did in the full Beatles journey and creativeness.

@@thomastimlin1724 I think that argument has the merit of logic to it! I think your perception lays it out well as to the correct way to think about all of these complicated, collaborative relationship within the Beatles. One of the reasons I am now more open to this argument is when I found out that George Martin was playing the piano line on "Getting Better". Blew my mind when I learned that! Of course, his merits go far beyond a performance on a single song. George Martin, at least initially, was fundamental to their development and evolution as a band. That says a lot.

No matter how many people praise McCartney he's still underrated. Such a talent.

Absolute bullshit!!!! A better case can be made that George was a better bass played than Paul.

He seems to be able to master any instrument he chooses to play. The guy is a genius and I'll be seeing him at the o2 in December 😱
