Yellowsnow Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 No edna. It's much more famous. It appeared years later on one of the best Beatles albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 What is "When I'm Sixty Four"? (though it's always been the official answer, I personally doubt about it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowsnow Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Tbh I was surprised too: "He later learned to play the piano and wrote his second song, "When I'm Sixty-Four"." - Wiki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Yes, I read that some time ago on a couple of web sites, but I don't think it's true... yet I can check, my brother has an amazing book with all the facts about the Beatles songs... (I just have to find him on the phone and he's always very busy...) Edit: I found this in our main page: Paul McCartney wrote the music for this when he was about 15, and used to play it when The Beatles were still known as The Quarrymen. He put lyrics to it later in honor of his father's 64th birthday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowsnow Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Good job edna So I think it's safe to say it was one of his first compositions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Well, if it's so... ...this band recently performed on TV as a tribute to the Beatles. In fact, the logo of their name on the drum was similar to the Beatles' logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazooka Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Who is RAIN ? I'm doubting myself. That seemed too simple. The RAIN tribute band/show has been around, in various incarnations, for decades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazooka Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 [smaller]Chord Changes for 600[/smaller] Burt Bacharach hated Arthur Lee & Love’s 1966 altered version of this song, first recorded by Manfred Mann for the soundtrack of film released in 1965, but the Love cover was used in the 2000 film High Fidelity.

bazooka Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 That's it, edna ! Although Love never really hit big in the US, Arthur Lee's musical career was quite interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 Tony Middleton's version was very good too... I agree, Love are a great band but their cover wasn't among the best things they did... "My Little Red Book" - Middleton He started as a member of one of the most famous bands in history, both playing piano and being the roadie... but the manager said he wouldn't fit so he remained in the dark, playing.
