Amazing Songs & Other Delights # 74 – The Beatles edition by Bill Rivers & Raquel Pinheiro @ Yé Yé Radio Monday 16

Amazing Songs & Other Delights # 74 – The Beatles edition by Bill Rivers & Raquel Pinheiro airs Monday 16, 3-4pm (gmt) on Yé Yé Radio:  yeyeradio.com (or on the app).

Amazing Songs & Other Delights # 74 – The Beatles edition is, once more a collaborative programme between me and Bill Rivers. We both love The Beatles. As a child, around Christmas tv would show The Beatles films and I would be taken to see Yellow Submarine on the big screen. Bill and I picked Beatles songs, assorted covers , songs from solo fab four. You can see who picked out on the tracklist below the text. I love to do shows with Bill. He always comes up with songs, covers, I either didn’t knew or had forgotten.

The first record my parents to me dance to was a German Beatles compilation. The Beatles were mum and her sisters band. Like me, mum is partial to George (Harrison), having a special place in her heart for the by all, myself included, beloved Ringo. Bill’s favourite Beatle is also George. Paul comes second for Bill. No wonder there’s so much George being played on the show. 🙂 Solo George, Beatles George. While My Guitar Gently Weeps by The Beatles opens the show, While My Guitar Gently Weeps covered by Lucinda Williams closes it. I’ve been fascinated by Lucinda’s version since I heard it a few weeks ago.

Interestingly, my favourite Beatles song is Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown) that was written by Lennon. Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown) wasn’t always by favourite Beatles song. As a child it would be any from the mentioned German compilation. Or from the first album. Or a few from Yellow Submarine that, for years, for me was only an animated film. Rubber Soul ended up become by favourite Beatles album. Bill’s favourite Beatles current album is Magical Mystery Tour.Why is George pretty much everyone favourite Beatle? I don’t know. I always loved George and Ringo. I’m the person who plays bass and forgets Paul McCartney plays bass. I see Paul as a songwriter, which he, of course, is.

Back to George. George brought many Innovations to The Beatles. He was always on the look out for new things. It was George’s idea of having Eric Clapton play the guitar solo on While My Guitar Gently Weeps. George has the best solo album of the four Beatles, All Things Must Pass. There’s a great documentary about George as well, George Harrison: Living In The Material World.
