Below is a list of HDH and Beatles #1 songs in 1965. It’s almost as if they were handing the baton back and forth to one another. Half of that year, either HDH or Lennon and McCartney held the top spot.
Many have claimed to be the fifth Beatle. Most of them are wannabes, hangers on, or quite frankly, mildly deranged. There is one man however who was employed to be the fifth Beatle during the Get Back/Let It Be sessions by The Beatles themselves.
That man was Billy Preston. He did an excellent job and was hugely underpaid.
Born a full 18 years before the repeal of The Jim Crow Laws in Texas, with one of the finest Afro’s in the Western Hemisphere, Billy Preston was not the most likely Mop Top.
I don’t like The Beatles. I realize that is heresy to most music lovers – a bit like saying “I don’t like Citizen Kane” to a film buff, or “I don’t like Champagne” to just about anyone, but there it is.
I don’t like The Beatles very much.
By the time I started listening to music, The Beatles belonged to my Dad’s generation. I didn’t really understand why they were that different from The Monkees, and The Monkees had a cool TV show that we watched on Saturday mornings. They also had four boys, four matching haircuts and a specialty in harmony. What was the big deal? I knew all the words to Daydream Believer and that was good enough for me.
