If I have to go
You'll be thinking of me
Somehow I will know
Someday when I'm lonely
Wishing you weren't so far away
Then I will remember
Things we said today
You say you'll be mine, girl
Till the end of time
These days such a kind girl
Seems so hard to find
Someday when we're dreaming
Deep in love, not a lot to say
Then we will remember
Things we said today
Me, I'm just the lucky kind
Love to hear you say that love is love
And though we may be blind
Love is here to stay and that's enough
To make you mine, girl
Be the only one
Love me all the time, girl
We'll go on and on
Some day when we're dreaming
Deep in love not a lot to say
Then we will remember
Things we said today
Me, I'm just the lucky kind
Love to hear you say that love is love
And though we may be blind
Love is here to stay and that's enough
To make you mine, girl
Be the only one
Love me all the time, girl
We'll go on and on
Some day when we're dreaming
Deep in love, not a lot to say
Then we will remember
Things we said today
Mental how consistently good they were.
All in a 6 year time period. 1963- 1969. Abby Road was the last album that they recorded, even though it was released before Let I Be. ....What a way to go out! Thanx RP!
Great producer but beyond "Killer Joe", what else did he write? Maybe he was jealous about how prolific the Beatles were with their high quality songwriting. Two of the greatest songwriters of the 20th century and the 3rd guy would have been the main songwriter in almost any other band.
His criticism seems to be about their musical abilities, not their songwriting prowess. Apparently Jones called McCartney about the statements, saying he was misquoted.
A piece of a 2/7 Variety interview with Quincy Jones reveals he had/has little musical respect for the Fabs
The Beatles were terrible musicians.
“They were the worst musicians in the world. They were no-playing motherf—ers. Paul was the worst bass player I ever heard. And Ringo? Don’t even talk about it. I remember once we were in the studio with George Martin, and Ringo had taken three hours for a four-bar thing he was trying to fix on a song. He couldn’t get it. We said, ‘Mate, why don’t you get some lager and lime, some shepherd’s pie, and take an hour-and-a-half and relax a little bit.’ So he did, and we called Ronnie Verrell, a jazz drummer. Ronnie came in for 15 minutes and tore it up. Ringo comes back and says, ‘George, can you play it back for me one more time?’ So George did, and Ringo says, ‘That didn’t sound so bad.’ And I said, ‘Yeah, motherf—er because it ain’t you.’ Great guy, though.
Yeah, and what did Quincy Jones ever do for us?
Yeah. And how many times did that happen? Was QJ at every recording session? And...I'm not aware that Mr. Jones's protege Michael Jackson played any instrument whatsoever other than his vocal chords and his dancing body. Perhaps Jones might have acknowledged that after this passive aggressive babble.
Maybe it's true that separately the Fabs were not Juilliard geniuses (except that Lennon and McCartney each played several instruments), I don't know, but together their blend seems to tell a very different story. It's highly unlikely they would ever have become stellar tunesmiths and melody masters with low-end musical talent.
Maybe Quincy was just having a bad day
Yet, I find myself thinking of the Beatles constantly when listening Porcupine Tree's Stupid Dream and Lightbulb Sun albums.

No disrespect but... who cares really?

Quince can be bitter I guess - Peter Jackson is in the process of making a film about the Beatles, looks like they can play to me. Poor old Ringo, they always pick on the drummer.

Quincy came from jazz so he may have been dismissive of pop/rock.

I don't think this is an attack on the Beatles. I've heard the same thing from many musicians. However, none of them could craft a tune of such enduring appeal. I liked the Beatles. All my adult children Millenials, Gen Z and Zoomers like the Beatles. I can appreciate that there existed and exists still better musicians, together or separately, than the Beatles. They should go write Helter Skelter.

Was Mozart a good pianist ? i don't know and i don't care, genius simply goes beyond that.

Agreed
That pretty much sums it up .... great harmonies!
Miscreants.
Yes, the US/Capitol album was red with black lettering. The Britain/Parolophone album was the blue one above.

“Everybody's born knowing all the Beatles lyrics instinctively. They're passed into the fetus subconsciously along with all the amniotic stuff. They should be called "The Fetals".”
Sliding Doors (1998) – James Hammerton (John Hannah)
I've just been re-viewing the Beatles Anthology. It does a great job of surveying their music. But I am disappointed by the lack of coverage of their creative process. I get more satisfaction from a Terry Gross interview.
She was with the Beatles?! Who knew?
The UK original vinyl LP looked exactly like the label shown here on RP.
Everybody in my churches loves this song...
This song still puts a spring in my step... love it...
My elder daughter is named for her grandmother—but there's a bit of her that's after Lennon's mother, Julia. My ex was horrified that had we a boy, I would have pushed hard (NPI) for John Winston Lennon ______. She quickly agreed to Julia.
Huh?
You gots the dain bramage, dude.
Couldn't agree more!

Different from the version I remember. Must have been off a different (later) album?
This one has a really nice innocence to it, somehow, the way it's arranged and instrumented.
Darn I was too late!
