Welcome to Entertainment and celebrity news, today. Two minutes of pop culture that matter, the Beatles didn't just crank out their own massive hits, they also rose songs for other artists that became chart smashes. John Lennon and Paul McCartney penned early tunes like, I want to be your man for the Rolling Stones in 1963, which even made it on to. The Beatles' own album later that year. Paul McCartney kept the generosity going with tracks like, Come and Get It for Bad Finger on the Apple label in 1969, and a world without love for Peter and Gordon, which topped the UK charts in 1964. He even used a fake name, Bernard Webb for their follow-up, woman to test if it could succeed without the famous credit. Fans might be surprised by Lennon McCartney gifts to singers like Billy J. Kramer, whose bad to me hit number one in the UK in 19. 63, or Silla Black with Love of the Loved, and her TV theme, Step Inside Love.
These songs often stayed unreleased by the Beatles themselves. George Harrison chipped in two, writing, Sour Moxie for Jackie Lomax with Paul and Ringo playing on it, though it didn't char big. He also co-robed for Cream's final album in 1969. This habit showed the Beatles huge reach, boosting careers from pop duos to supergroups, and proving their songwriting magic worked anywhere. Next time a 60's classic plays, it might have fab four fingerprints. DNN is sponsored by our partner. When you want calm, do not reach for your phone.
