@mince110: Who actually wrote the songs that made the Beatles legendary? Most carried the Lennon–McCartney credit, but the songwriting behind the band’s catalogue was more complicated than that name suggests. John Lennon and Paul McCartney were the band’s dominant songwriters, with Lennon credited as the primary writer on roughly 71 songs and McCartney on about 68. They also collaborated closely on around 16 songs, including “I Want to Hold Your Hand” and “A Day in the Life.” McCartney gave us “Yesterday,” “Hey Jude,” and “Let It Be,” while Lennon wrote “Help!,” “Across the a universe”, “Strawberry Fields Forever,” and “In My Life.” George Harrison eventually emerged as a major songwriter, contributing classics like “Something” and “Here Comes the Sun,” while Ringo Starr added “Don’t Pass Me By” and “Octopus’s Garden.” The Beatles’ greatness wasn’t the work of one songwriter. It was the combination of Lennon and McCartney’s partnership, Harrison’s growing voice, and Starr’s contributions that created a catalogue that changed music forever.#johnlennon #paulmccartney #georgeharrison #ringostarr #beatlestiktok
