It's Astonishing That Both James Paul McCartney Jr., And Richard Starkey, aka Ringo Starr Are Still Around, Making Amazing Beautiful-Thoughtful Music For Us To Listen To And Enjoy . . . :-)

Absolutamente certo.🙏

That's NOT PAUL

@knutz7 Oh wow! You're so lucky! 💜

Unbelievable only 6 yrs!!! From meet the Beatles to Abbey Road. It’s like going from a go cart to a Bentley. In the movie “let it be” not one of them were yet in their 30s!!! 😮

But they were together for much longer - at least 5 years ground work went into the band prior to them “ breaking” in 1963 . You can’t ignore those 5 years , you have to add them onto the 63-70 . That’s 15 years , not 6 !

They also had a brilliant manager and an equally brilliant sound engineer. Mr Martin exposed them to some innovative musical ideas and Brian gave them the public image and made the record deals.

@@waynedwyer6509 Brian Epstein made some astounding mistakes with The Beatles.

I first heard them when I was 10 years old in 1964.

Yes, . . . It's Beem Quite A Rumble Of A Ride . . . :-)

Early Beatles not PM

Actually, I think those perceptions of John and Paul don't always hold. Some of John's best songs are his ballads - In My Life, Hey, you gotta hide your love away, etc! That is when he is at his best. Paul, is often best with a harder 'rock' style, such as you find on Abbey Road, Back in the USSR, etc. Listen to his voice in 'Oh, darling!

Buddy Holly invented them in even a shorter period of time! & all alone!

@@nicmerone7190 Buddy Holly was brilliant, creating great songs at a supernatural rate, but of course just didn't have time to come close to the Beatles in achievements. I agree he was super important to their DNA, but they also absorbed Little Richard, girl bands, the Goons, show tunes, and of course Elvis who also helped create Holly. But if Holly had lived, he seems capable of anything and might have been greatest of all.

I recently got Bluetooth hearing aides, they make all the difference.💜

True. Lennon's music was great. But it boggles the mind that so many people are SO caught up in Lennon worship that they think he was some super guru on things of life that they try to live by things he said. He was not a moral compass anyone should gauge themselves by.

Sorry, Lennon was the artist. Paul was the commercial pop writer. Without Lennon, Beatles wouldn’t be relevant today. This is a totally Paul sponsored video, if you fall for his history revisionism campaign then you’re truly naive. John and George are dead, they can’t defend themselves, Paul’s insecurity and ego knows no limits

All gratitude for it❤❤❤❤❤

I was going to comment saying the same thing. I stopped watching at 5:53 because I couldn't hear what the interviewees were saying.

I agree about the backing track drowning out the conversation, but the content was great in spite of that. It could have mixed a little better.

I agree. I had to bail out. Too difficult and frustrating trying to understand what they were saying

100% agreed. I'm only about 1/4 through the doc, and although it's gotten me very invested, I did realize quite early on that the audio mixing is terrible. Having said that, it's certainly already taught an old Beatlemaniac a few new tricks, which is honestly what's kept me going. I'd think any time an old Beatles fan is able to learn something new, they'll likely weather any storm in anticipation of the next new morsel. :) Anyhow, for as much smack as I've talked (25% of the way through and taking a short pause), this documentary has been otherwise terrific.

Looks like someone hasn’t heard of automation haha 😝

Took them decades to shrug Elvis off. He's no2 now.

it’s one of those fantastic tunes which was huge but for some reason daytime music radio in England ( BBC R2 & BBC Local Radio at least )never play because it’s those same obligatory songs by Elton ,Whitney ,Billy Ocean ,Rod ,Take That , Cindi , Madonna which god only knows they cannot stop repeating. I tried BBC R Solent for the 1st time in a year & nearly cried when “ I’m still standing “ followed the all so vital Traffic & Travel…..

Agree!

Meh

"Think of me every NOW AND THEN, my old friend" the last words John said to Paul.

Love the song and was in immediate state of weeping. How wonderful to have this. Reminder of youth and total love.

Yeah, I think even Peter Jackson’s computers would give up on this. Unfortunate because there’s some great material in this video.

Agreed a great album. Since then Paul and George Martin did say they hadn’t given George a fair chance and didn’t appreciate how much songwriting talent he had

Was so happy George was the first Solo Beatle to receive a Grammy for Album of the Year for ATMP. ALSO Marwa Blues received a Grammy for best instrumental off his last album Brainwashed. ♥️🕉️🎵

@@dbagdon - "All Things Must Pass" was nominated for album of the year - but Carole King's album "Tapestry' won. George Harrison's song "My Sweet Lord" was nominated for Record of the Year - but Carole King's "It's Too Late" won. And the first solo Beatle to win a Grammy was Paul McCartney when his song "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey" won "Best Arrangement" at the 1971 Grammys. Harrison's excellent "Marwa Blues" did win a Grammy for "Best Instrumental". But McCartney's "Rockestra Theme" won that same category in 1979.

The Mike Williams channel is a disgrace! Why is it that there's never any disagreement comments on the channel? What so wrong with free speech! Anyway anyone who talks about the power of the occult can not be trusted to tell the truth it's 2023 not 1623!

I had to have a chuckle at the TV ad where he said that we think of him as a whingeing pom. He is universally loved from what I gather, or I hope so. I was 8yo when they toured Australia back in '64 so I had no chance of getting to see them. One of my life's disappointments.

Faul isn't bad either

He used to be my favorite rock and roll singer too but sadly he has lost most of his voice these days.

At his age, doing just fine. Agree with prior comment that the voice over music mix on this presentation needs work. If Norman Smith were still around, he'd fix it right quick! Insiders will know what I mean!

So True. it was the interaction between them all(including George Martin & technicians), that made them great.

THIS IS AN UPDATED AND CORRECTED COMMENT : I have always thought that each Beatle was a distinctive 1/4 of the group, hence here why fans always had their personal favorite Beatle, mine was George . Even thought Lennon was the creator or founder of The Beatles , and that he decided to take a chance on him, Harrison was actually Paul's best friend at the time. and liked what he heard. Harrison was to become a far better musician than Lennon ever was, he learned to play over 20 instruments on his own, more than Lennon ever did, he was the one that made the sitar fashionable . He was the quiet genius , he was the one that save " And I love her ", originally, they had made a drum version , which was actually not bad at all, but Harrison came up with the guitar lead opener, which he doubled back to back at the end, that's when he earned Lennon's respect, and he stop looking down on him. No one can even imagine the Beatles as only 3, that would be like a car with 3 wheels, as George Harrison once said about Ringo. And this was while the real McCartney was alive. When you put together that when the real McCartney died, he left about 500 songs already written between him and John, + that Campbell did know how to play the guitar and the bass, actually has done an excellent job in replacing McCartney, ( actually, Campbell did messed up big time, when they did the All you need is love show, he came out playing the bass with his right hand, everyone knew that the real McCartney was left handed, even then he got away with it ) + and the fact that the whole thing was The late Queen’s idea, she was afraid that millions of teenage girls world wide would commit suicide, when it became known that Paul had died, is the reason the law will never go after Campbell. But those who would know the truth, the real McCartney’s family, Jane Asher and his second wife Heather Mills, you would have to watch George Harrison's " Last will and testament " to understand why I say this. If you look at the type of music Campbell has produced on his own, compare to the music done by The Beatles, is almost child’s play, it doesn’t have consistency, if you were to compare “ Girl “ or “ I’ve just seen a face “ to Campbell’s “mama miss America” or “ Uncle Albert”, oh pleeeease, give me a brake. As big a Beatle's fan that I was ( it's getting real old to be honest ), this last song as well as " Free as a bird " would had been better if they never appeared in public, you can tell that the creativity and imagination of the Beatles had gone dry, say for example if you were to compare these 2 songs to " The word " or " Your going to loose that girl " or " While my guitar gently weeps"., which is an anthem for guitar playing and listeners lovers. I grew up with The Beatle's music, they gave me happiness and strength on sad and lonely days , Is when they disbanded that's when I became an Elvis fans in 1969. I strongly recommend , if you get a chance to watch watch.how/movie/paul-mccartney-really-is-dead-the-last-testament-of-george-harrison/32337?Google&Search&t_source=64&gclid=Cj0KCQjwtJKqBhCaARIsAN_yS_kyPFWObwPJQc9FXMBYxU68N-vKVo1f0EABMi6aks66vDdUpJE-GgwaAjB6EALw_wcB , that you do it, it will bring you out of many doubts. The fact that he wasn't the real McCartney, was one reason they broke up, not as much the Yoko thing , yes, that didn't helped at all to the situation , that was like throwing gasoline into the fire, but the fire was already there. McCartney ( Campbell ) intended to control The Beatles , bringing in his brother in-law ( Atty. John L. Eastman ) and Allen Klein to be the group's managers, when this didn't go down well, it was in his best interest that they broke up. When they did the Beatle's Anthology cd series, you could tell that Harrison was kinda distant from Campbell. When the real McCartney died, an ultra secret contest to find someone who looked like McCartney started in California , the judge was none other than the late Dick Clark . So Campbell sore of hit the lottery here . Ringo, what can I say about Ringo? He is a good drummer , but the late Charlie Watts of The Rolling Stones was far better, if you compare Ringo's finest drumming, as in " Rain " which he himself has stated was his best, to Charlie's " Paint it black ", there's simply no comparison. Plus, somewhere in 2000, Ringo gave a news conference stating that he didn't want to hear from his fans and would not be answering any fans letter anymore, he is an ungrateful person, this is where I like and I think that Elvis was a far superior entertainer , he never forgot how to be grateful to his fans, they were the ones that made him. After The Beatles disbanded ,I bought all the George Harrison , john Lennon music . When Harrison tour the states, I went to see him, Lennon hardly did any touring at all . I just never liked Campbell's musical style, it's for kindergarten kids , I did buy about 4 Ringo albums, but when he did that news conference, I threw them away. As I mentioned, being a Beatle's fan has gotten pretty old by now for me. Thanks for reading my comment.

@@jesuscastillo3335 grow up!

I think we're getting Paul's version.

​@@jesuscastillo3335Stop spreading false information. Look at the man in the eyes and you know it's Paul McCartney. Anyone that says different is a gullible child

❤❤❤❤

Paul’s main base is Peasmarsh in Sussex U.K. He spent lockdown there.

Yeah, I'm not having trouble with it either and I have some hearing loss in one ear.

Hi Steven, don't feel bad. I remember once when we used to haul our own sound equipment, leaving the microphones at home. A friend of mine who owned a music store, a couple of miles away bailed us out with his Mike's. Some days are diamonds.👍

WOW!WE'LL WATCH ⌚ ON THE BUS 🚍!😊

Paul is the only one alive. Of course he’s behind all this nonsense. It’s pathetic really

Do you not remember all the unfair persecution Paul suffered because of John’s drug fuelled attacks on him, thru the media. Then the music media continued to attack Paul for the next decade through the media. It was during this time that Paul was rescuing the Beatles business affairs. All the Beatles are families are at least twice as wealthy as they would have been without Pauls creativity and business savvy. Don’t you think he has the right to be acknowledged for his massive contribution to their success and wealth.

@@allymayfulyes! Your answer is better than the one I was going to write 😊. Why do people get upset with Paul for being alive and talking about his life or letting others speak about him and say he’s great? Should he be quiet and never talk about the Beatles again? I don’t think so! Apparently any artist can be proud of their work except for Paul McCartney.

@@hw343434just shows what you know you plonka think you’ll find Ringo is still here try educating yourself before embarrassing yourself lol 😂

@@allymayfulNot at the expense of John.

Naa, that's not the fact.

Yes it is.

Oh trust me it’s not an accident. Paul just can’t stand it when John gets even a little attention.

6 months old, so not clickbait deliberately, more likely named after John's last words to Paul?

Because Yoko is retired with Al'shammer, Olivia Harrison is giving all her George money to NWO world government, Democrat candidates and anti Trumpism, and Ringo is just being Ringo and playing the part he was cast in - Paul is the official story now, and to be honest, Paul is getting better at telling it.- Until the story suddenly changes as it oft does - Pauls what we got left .

@@beneathpavement1Except that John never said that

I bought all the wingd album plus à few solos of Paul
