Paul McCartney is a genius. We took him for granted, or at least I did, all those years ago, but now, hearing stories like this my mind is blown. The four Beatles together? A bloomin’ miracle!!
I agree with you. I always thought Peter and Gordon were going far. I go to pieces was my favorite. I met Gordon at a Beatles convention in Chicago, I can't remember what year tho
I'm sitting there with my youngest daughter (25 years old) and we're watching that "Get Back" documentary... the episode where Paul McCartney was writing the song "The Long And Winding Road" in the studio with the cameras rolling. He starts off with the first verse written, and he's starting to flesh out the second verse singing "The wild and windy night...something something, something something..." By the end of that episode he's got the song fully done and we're both floored. I look over and she's actually crying. She says "I can't believe I'm sitting here literally watching him create this beautiful masterpiece." The man is a genius.
He was in Jamaica and dinner with Dustin Hoffman who said he didn't believe Paul could write a song about anything, and they pulled out a magazine which had an article about Picasso's death and last words, and Paul sat there with a guitar and wrote "Picasso's Last Words" (from Band on the Run) right in front of him. Dustin Hoffman was blown away and said to his wife "look he's doing it right in front of us!"
Wow! So glad I found this! I am also 77 (someone else mentioned their age) and grew up with the Beatles and the “British Invasion”. I swear my friend had the first Beatle record in America. His aunt in the UK sent him a 45 with four songs on it saying, “These are the hottest musicians in Europe.” Back in the 60’s we had no idea who collaborated with who so your insight makes those memories even more precious! Thank you, Gianni❤
Dusty Ray Vaughn here. I had a Beatles single on Tollie Records: There's a Place/Twist and Shout before Introducing the Beatles was available here. Any thoughts?
TOLLIE started the label with a huge hit, the 45 of the Beatles' "Twist And Shout"/"There's A Place" It was taken from the Vee-Jay Beatles album, which was part of Capitol Records. Initial orders for the single reportedly topped 428,000 copies. (a side note) A second Beatles single, "Love Me Do"/"P.S. I Love You" was also a huge hit QUESTIONS? [ ] is your copy 45RPM or 33-1/3? [ ] what is the item number (its printers on the label? (if you have multiple releases include them) [ ] What is the condition of the Album Cover? [ ] What is the condition of the record? Regarding the printed label … [ ] is it purple, w/silver printing, & "TOLLIE RECORDS" in yellow above the center hole in a box made up of four pink lines? [ ] is it white l, with black printing, with "TOLLIE RECORDS" above the center hole in a printed box? Is there additional printed information? What does it say? [ ] is it yellow with black print, with a basic design and no graphics? [ ] You are a part of history and I for one am honored to converse with you in any way possible.

The moment you mentioned Peter &Gordon I just knew the song had to be A World Without Love. It’s so much Paul it’s a wonder we hadn’t realised it earlier. Thanks for this!
Paul McCartney had an absolute gift for song writing, not only the tune but simple lyrics that resonate. He was wired from a young age to be someone with a special talent.
I am sorry you were treated so callously. Kids of a certain age can be terrors, even if they're family, sad to say. Want you to know, you look like a very kind person, probably bc you know what thoughtlessness can do. God's peace to you & yours.
Cool story you shared, thank you. I used to go to Peter Asher’s Office in Beverly Hills/West Hollywood, back when I was a young lad delivering packages. I would see Mr Asher quite often.
It goes to show how immensely talented Paul is. Even a little song, quickly written is enough to propel other people’s careers to number 1 when they couldn’t do it themselves! Mind blowing.
I've always loved this song, and finding out McCartney wrote it made the story almost legendary. The fact it was a hit goes to show that not all music critics are right.
We could tell it was a McCartney song. That Peter was his girlfriends brother was a give away. Then, later, we found it indeed was. My brother was a big fan of credits. He knew every song writer, movie director and so forth
Nice work on this one. Just goes to show that even McCartney’s self deemed B list material was more top shelf than many other artist’s A list material. It’s amazing how easy it became for him to make it flow like water out of a tap…
Instantly loved this Song when it was released. Your backstory is fascinating as usual! Paul thrived when it came to writing hit Songs for other artists. Badfinger, and Mary Hopkins come to mind…thank you GT!
Old guy here, loved the music of that time period. My mom worked in a Woolworth and I recall the Beatles bobble heads on display. She's 101 and I reminded her of the bobble heads and wished we'd bought the whole display and assured our early retirements.
My mom worked at a Cohen's drug store. I still have a Beatle Booster button. One if the misprints. I reads ' Beatle Booster' which was used later in "Help". My mom could get every record there was through one of the distributors who delivered to Cohen's. The invasion changed my life.

It was a little less than a month to my 12th bday on Feb 9th, 1964 . By April '65 my brother, an old friend and a new friend were playing our first gig at the 'YMCA' where we recruited another new friend with a Wurlitzer elec. piano. Called out band the Barons. Cheezy name , huh ?
@@deandavidson1375, "The Barons" would have been a great name in the '60s: today "The Barrens" might be more relevant with climate change & all the other environmental damage. I was 1-2mos. shy of 15 in1967 when I picked up a guitar. My 1st song was "A Lighter Shade of Pale" by "Procol Harum", because EVERYBODY else was learning or played "E.B. & the Animals" "House of The Rising Sun" & I was sick-to-death of hearing it, much less learning it, & liked Procol Harum a whole lot better🤣😂🥲😏! Thanks for reaching out: I'm sorry to have kept you waiting! "Break-a-leg" & kind regards❣
I’ve always loved that song as well! I was in fact 12 at the time. Peter and Gordon were another fave of mine, although the Beatles were my fave. I’ve always said that I vaulted into instant puberty when I first saw the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show in1963! ❤️. Thank you for this story, Mr. Guitar Trooper!
Guitar Trooper has some of the very best content about my generation’s music on RUclips and possibly in the entire world. I’m astounded when any of my musician friends have never heard of him. GT is the ultimate “Deep Dive” into American music history.
Thanks for sharing this interesting info on Paul McCartney. One of my High school friends met Paul and I got to meet, Sean Lennon in December 2007 in Alexandria, Va. where he was performing at a saloon/nightclub! Just plain cool!
Sir Paul is an absolute treasure. I am so blessed that I have been able to grow up from a young boy listening to him as a Beatle and then his solo career. The more I learn about him the more amazed I am. Greater than Leonardo Da Vinci?
I really enjoyed this piece! I knew McCartney wrote World Without Love, but hearing his teenage version of it made me very happy. Thank you again XXOO Judy PS I was eight years old and screaming, Beatlemania was not manufactured., it was REAL !
I love Paul. I love the Beatles, together, solo, and in any variation. I love Peter and Gordon, and World Without Love was a radio hit. I adored it. It was one of the first singled I got. I’ll be 70 on the last day of May, and I only learned that Paul wrote this song a few years ago. I was surprised that it took so long post the start of the internet for this info to reach me. Thanks, Guitar Trooper for posting this.
I hit send too soon! Continued ....... I was born in 1954, so I was age 8 when The Beatles came around. I liked Elvis Presley, Liitle Richard, and The Shadows, but when I first heard The Beatles, well, it was like listening to music from another world. So, being a child of the '60s, I just wanted to say that your particular channel resonates deeply with me. My name is Rob, and I'm a London-based musician, poet, writer, and actor.
Another outstanding mini-doc! The Vic Flick connection to the song and the Beatles themselves blew me away! My favorite Paul-penned song for Peter and Gordon is "I Don't Want To See You Again", but that is just the opinion of this old guy. 😊
Chad and Gordon have passed. That’s why Peter and Jeremy are touring together. They carry on the heritage of both duos. What a fantastic show they put on… and the stories, Wow!!
I loved the song, World Without Love. I was 4 when it came out, but I often listened to it on the local radio stations when we in the car growing up. My Mom would listen to the popular radio stations as she drove us to school- until we all transferred to public school.
Thanks for expressing Our interest in 60s music. We were in ou teens then growing up in the Midwest USA and really enjoyed the British Sound!🌍🌎🌎🎼🎵🎶🎸‼️‼️
Thank you. I didn’t realize that Peter went on to do all of those things. You learn something new every day. I love all of Paul’s songs, including the ones that Peter and Gordon recorded. Paul is the most amazing person and musician!
Thank you for the wonderful piece you did on this song and it’s origin. Well written and well spoken- kept my interest all the way till the end. God bless you. 👍🙏
I knew Paul wrote this, but thanks for filling in a lot of the history around their relationship. Long before I knew Paul wrote it, I loved Peter & Gordon's "World Without Love".
Absolutely love the musical history. I am sharing your channel to many many people that will truly enjoy your hard work excellent outstanding work. Amy video coming up on Greoge Martin “And I Love Her”. Thank you so much. We love your work.
All though I’m familiar with many details of this story I still enjoyed it very much. I’m a self proclaimed musicaholic and I love such stories. I love all the different variations of RnR up until about the mid 90’s. To day for me personally I find it much harder to find music I love. Thank God for RUclips and the internet. 50’ to the very early 70’s are really my passion. I’ve always loved this song! One of my personal all time favorites. Thank you for the we video, keep up the good work!
I loved how you gave this , you painted a truely beautiful picture of how people and music come together. You gave this old girl a ride back in time, i enjoyed every moment. And i learned things i didnt know. I love the music from this era, who wouldn't.💞
Glad you liked it! And, let me assure you, finding true trivia on these guys is tough. I always get peppered by chatter from hard core fans that know the stuff. My hope is that I can deliver it in a way that isn’t just dry facts, because dry facts are a lot easier to find!! That is why I endeavor to structure my videos as stories with a beginning, middle, and end. I can’t always do it, though. Then it’s not as interesting.
My youth, Camp Urland, Woodville, TX Summer Camp, Peter & Gordon, " A World Without Love" how fabulous a story about a song I truly loved. That summer a local church in Woodville, invited the staff to a social and we all went. That song was playing and i remember with my extremely shy self to interact with a couple of the girls there. A Great Memory for my 15 year old self. Thanks for the full background on this wonderful 60's era song.
Yet again, the Trooper knocks it out of the park (baseball, yes? I'm British so my exuberances would be cricket-related and make no sense!). You've got this whole spinning the narrative out thing up to mastery lever, Sir Trooper. Six minutes on the edge of my seat this time ... the mounting tension and building excitement ... and it turns out to be a song we all know but about which we have hitherto known next to nothing! Actually, thinking about it, maybe "knocked it for six" would be an understatement anyway. I'll keep the baseball reference. ;) Thank you, Trooper.
Hey David! Thanks for the great comment and kind words!! And - I might know more British slang than you think. Might In 1964, I spent 3 months living in London - in Saint John’s Wood, no less - just a block or 2 from both EMI and Macaa’s home) Please help me spread the love 💕 by sharing the videos!!!
@@the_guitar_trooper Always welcome. :) I'll use more in further comments then ... this could be fun. :) I shared the video on my Fb. I hope that's okay. It was too good not to. 👍
Great to hear the story behind the success of the song and the singers. I was 15 in 1964 and loved all the British groups. Beatles are the top of the pyramid.
Paul actually added as a fan on one of our band's sites years ago. We corresponded briefly but I never had the pleasure of meeting him... My loss, definitely.
Yea ! Thanks for divulging this, "A World Without Love " sung by Peter & Gordon is one of my fav songs since my H.S. days & since then I never thought it was Paul McCartney's original composition. Love it !
I'm 75, and remember all of these songs. Love 'em ALL. But you never hear things from behind the scenes like this. It's cool stuff. Thanks for the info.
This information is absolutely fascinating. Who knew? What a thrill to harken back to the old tunes and get the behind-the-scenes story that no one knew. Keep up the good work!
Enjoyed your video clip, as collector of music as born in1958 ,fantastic piece of music history, start .my record collection when 13yrs,next month celebration my 66yrs birthday ,still more Music collect
As I watched and listened to your video, I noticed that your voice is very easy on the ears. You remind me of a very famous voice we used to hear every week on the radio. Mr. Casey Kasem. The way you have with words, as you report on people and songs, really reminded me of him. Keep up the good work. Loved your video, by the way. I liked and subscribed to your channel hoping to hear more like this one. Thanks again.
Thanks SO VERY MUCH for your view, support, and kind words! There are many out there and new ones posted as I have time to produce them. Check out the main channel page and the playlists. You can binge on a playlist of Beatles subjects!
As a RUclips revenue sharing partner, I’m prohibited from playing long clips of copyrighted content on revenue-producing videos longer than a minute. 😣
Thanks for the trip down memory lane. A very insightful and interesting video. I was a young teen when this song came out and remember it well, as I do with many others of that era. They were wonderful musical times to experience.
Vic flick was a renowned session guitarist in England. Play the James Bond theme and many others. He was on Pawn Stars and sold that guitar. He had a list that showed what songs he used it on. I believe that he got 50k for it
You cant deny that Paul was one of the greatest musicians of the 60s and 70s. I'm sooo happy that I was alive at this time to hear his music. Thanks Paul.
McCartney's demo of "World Without Love" shows a different feel to the song. Once the song was in the hands of Peter & Gordon and their producer it was a vast improvement to the song. Definitely not a song for the Beatles. Lennon and Harrison thought the line "Please lock me away" was a joke. Imagine their amazement when the song became a number one song in many countries.
I ask my mum for the record for my 13th birthday back in Liverpool. Played it 5 times at my Birthday celebration at home. Love the song so much and great to hear it's history, thanks.😊
I used to hear A World Without Love on the AM dial when it first came out but I never heard of the song Woman. I looked for it on RUclips and I played it for about 15 seconds. It's lacking. Now I know why I never heard of it. I probably changed the station when it came on.
I dunno what to think. Both Macaa and Lennon were cranking out so many songs that could afford to flip several to other performers and never miss them.
great back story! thank you from the minute I started watching I knew what the song was! born in 1955, I was always a keen pop historian.... I have only just recently really appreciating Paul McCartney's immense song writing talents
Like many I am now in my late 70’s and love the fact that the songs we all loved and the eclectic set of singers and groups that era spawned are still very much alive and appreciated today. Keep up the good work 👍
What a super interesting video filled with so much musical history. I will be checking in with your channel on a regular basis. Doctor George Whitehead (79 years old, and LOVED these songs)
It was a kind gesture from Paul to give away a song to a friend. Oh how wonderful and free is youth!😊
It may not have been entirely altruistic. He was, after all, dating the guy’s sister rather seriously.
@@the_guitar_troopermmmmm seems he may have had other things on his mind.......

Thanks for sharing this interesting info on Paul McCartney. One of my High school friends met Paul and I got to meet, Sean Lennon in December 2007 in Alexandria, Va. where he was performing at a saloon/nightclub! Just plain cool!
@@brittonbanks646 Yeah! Thanks for watching, Britton! Please share the channel and videos for me!!
Sir Paul is an absolute treasure. I am so blessed that I have been able to grow up from a young boy listening to him as a Beatle and then his solo career. The more I learn about him the more amazed I am. Greater than Leonardo Da Vinci?
I don’t think he ever approached helicopter design. LOL
YOU Sir, are an Exceptional Story teller, and I've enjoyed listening to this video VERY MUCH!
Glad you enjoyed it, Elizabeth !! Thanks for watching!!
Join the channel and you can see these videos days before they are released to the public!!
I loved this song as a kid in the 60's.
Hey - Thanks for watching!!
I really enjoyed this piece! I knew McCartney wrote World Without Love, but hearing his teenage version of it made me very happy. Thank you again XXOO Judy PS I was eight years old and screaming, Beatlemania was not manufactured., it was REAL !
Thanks for listening, Judy! Please help me to spread the love 💕 by sharing the videos!!
A catchy tune. I wish I could have written songs like that at 16.
I wish that I could at ANY age. LOL
Great video. At 71, and a fan of the Beatles since the beginning, I enjoy hearing stories that I wasn't aware of.
Glad that you enjoyed it, Ted! And thanks for the sub!
same here 70now can't get any better than the beatles
I love Paul. I love the Beatles, together, solo, and in any variation. I love Peter and Gordon, and World Without Love was a radio hit. I adored it. It was one of the first singled I got. I’ll be 70 on the last day of May, and I only learned that Paul wrote this song a few years ago. I was surprised that it took so long post the start of the internet for this info to reach me. Thanks, Guitar Trooper for posting this.
@@foxandscout Thank YOU SO VERY MUCH for watching and subscribing!! Welcome aboard!!
Loving this ..I'm 77 pretty soon 1 N life is getting better...
Congrats, Gordon!! And thanks for the view!!
Great, you are wonderfully smooth and enjoyed your history lesson here very much!
Glad you enjoyed it! Please help me to spread the love 💕 by sharing the videos!!
This is the very first record I bought at the age of 11 for my mother. Thank you so very much for sharing the amazing history of the song 👍🇦🇺
Thanks for listening!! I appreciate your support very much! Please share the video for me!!
I hit send too soon! Continued ....... I was born in 1954, so I was age 8 when The Beatles came around. I liked Elvis Presley, Liitle Richard, and The Shadows, but when I first heard The Beatles, well, it was like listening to music from another world. So, being a child of the '60s, I just wanted to say that your particular channel resonates deeply with me. My name is Rob, and I'm a London-based musician, poet, writer, and actor.
And Thanks again for watching and the comment!
I loved hearing this well put together history about Paul McCartney and those that made the beginning of this era!
Hi Debra! Thanks SO VERY MUCH for the view and the kind words! Please share the videos and the channel for me!!
Another outstanding mini-doc! The Vic Flick connection to the song and the Beatles themselves blew me away! My favorite Paul-penned song for Peter and Gordon is "I Don't Want To See You Again", but that is just the opinion of this old guy. 😊
Hey, Thanks for watching!! Great to see you again!!
I agree guarddave. One of the best Paul penned.
This was so enlightening. Thanks so much for treating this as a humble documentary. Amazing job.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I had the privilege to see Peter and Jeremy in concert in No. Cal a few months ago. What a show!!!
It was Peter & Gordon...Jeremy was with Chad a diff duo !
@@Ina-Lori-tm2zh
Heh heh...thanks for pointing that out!
Chad and Gordon have passed. That’s why Peter and Jeremy are touring together. They carry on the heritage of both duos. What a fantastic show they put on… and the stories, Wow!!
Listening to this beautiful song on my playlist here in the Philippines 05-31-2024
It is an earworm, no doubt.
What a great channel... I absolutely loved that song. So thankful this popped up on my feed. THANK YOU....!!! ❤❤
Glad you enjoy it!!!
Have loved that song since I was 10 in 1964. Those were exciting times!🎉❤
Yep! Thanks for watching!
I'm the same age and I also loved that song as well as The Knight in Rusty Armour by Peter and Gordon.
Same
I loved the song, World Without Love. I was 4 when it came out, but I often listened to it on the local radio stations when we in the car growing up. My Mom would listen to the popular radio stations as she drove us to school- until we all transferred to public school.
Thanks for the view and the comment!
Beautiful melody! Stunning song!
It is a McCartney earworm alright! Thanks for watching! Please help me to spread the love 💕 by sharing the videos!

Thanks for the view, Shirley! You can help the channel by sharing the videos!!
Thank you. I didn’t realize that Peter went on to do all of those things. You learn something new every day.
I love all of Paul’s songs, including the ones that Peter and Gordon recorded. Paul is the most amazing person and musician!

I knew Paul wrote this, but thanks for filling in a lot of the history around their relationship. Long before I knew Paul wrote it, I loved Peter & Gordon's "World Without Love".
Thanks for the view, Dennis! Please help me to spread the love 💕 by sharing the videos!!
Your voice is magical! I could listen to your narrative voice for ages.

Any content with Vic Flic in it gets a thumbs up. One of the unsung heroes of the music that defined my youth.
Hey! Thanks for the view!! Please spread the love 💕 by sharing the link and the video!!
Wasn't Vic Flic on almost every great song?
@@SW-mc2zx Nope. He was one of several famous session guitarists at the time.
Just discovered you today. You're a likable old guy! I was born in 1959! Guys like us have just had more years to love music!

Love this! SO interesting! Thanks for the deep dive.
You are so welcome! Please help me to spread the love 💕 by sharing the videos!!
All though I’m familiar with many details of this story I still enjoyed it very much. I’m a self proclaimed musicaholic and I love such stories. I love all the different variations of RnR up until about the mid 90’s. To day for me personally I find it much harder to find music I love. Thank God for RUclips and the internet. 50’ to the very early 70’s are really my passion. I’ve always loved this song! One of my personal all time favorites. Thank you for the we video, keep up the good work!
Glad you enjoyed it! And THANKS for the view and the sub!!

I loved how you gave this , you painted a truely beautiful picture of how people and music come together. You gave this old girl a ride back in time, i enjoyed every moment.
And i learned things i didnt know. I love the music from this era, who wouldn't.💞
Thanks A MILLION, Susan, for the view and the kind words! Please do me a huge favor and share this puppy!!
Great video! At last, someone produces a Beatles story that hasn't been done a hundred times!
Glad you liked it! And, let me assure you, finding true trivia on these guys is tough. I always get peppered by chatter from hard core fans that know the stuff. My hope is that I can deliver it in a way that isn’t just dry facts, because dry facts are a lot easier to find!!
That is why I endeavor to structure my videos as stories with a beginning, middle, and end. I can’t always do it, though. Then it’s not as interesting.
This is my RUclips show, the Beatlemaniacs. It’s more of a discussion show. ruclips.net/video/zUQnf9M3fk4/видео.htmlsi=PwKtYPKQ2szDBC1a
My youth, Camp Urland, Woodville, TX Summer Camp, Peter & Gordon, " A World Without Love" how fabulous a story about a song I truly loved. That summer a local church in Woodville, invited the staff to a social and we all went. That song was playing and i remember with my extremely shy self to interact with a couple of the girls there. A Great Memory for my 15 year old self.
Thanks for the full background on this wonderful 60's era song.
Thanks for the view and comment, James! Please share the video and the channel for me!
Yet again, the Trooper knocks it out of the park (baseball, yes? I'm British so my exuberances would be cricket-related and make no sense!).
You've got this whole spinning the narrative out thing up to mastery lever, Sir Trooper. Six minutes on the edge of my seat this time ... the mounting tension and building excitement ... and it turns out to be a song we all know but about which we have hitherto known next to nothing!
Actually, thinking about it, maybe "knocked it for six" would be an understatement anyway. I'll keep the baseball reference. ;)
Thank you, Trooper.
Hey David! Thanks for the great comment and kind words!!
And - I might know more British slang than you think. Might
In 1964, I spent 3 months living in London - in Saint John’s Wood, no less - just a block or 2 from both EMI and Macaa’s home)

I'll use more in further comments then ... this could be fun. :)
I shared the video on my Fb. I hope that's okay. It was too good not to. 👍
@@DavidAndrewsPEC share away, Man! Let the whole world know!! Thanks!
@@the_guitar_trooper Will do! :)
@@the_guitar_trooperyou might have lived close enough to Lords cricket ground to have a few sixes hit your way.🏏😊
Great to hear the story behind the success of the song and the singers. I was 15 in 1964 and loved all the British groups. Beatles are the top of the pyramid.
Thanks for the View Mitchell! Please help me spread the love 💕 by sharing the videos and the channel!
John would always laugh out loud when Paul sang "Please, lock me away..."
Yeah. John had zero support for the song.
when Peter and Gordon sang the song...
Paul is awesome writer-singer-guitar player...one in a million 🌟
Yeah well in these years John also laughed at the disabled, ridiculed homosexuals and beat his wife and kid.
Paul actually added as a fan on one of our band's sites years ago. We corresponded briefly but I never had the pleasure of meeting him... My loss, definitely.
Wow, this is a fascinating part of music history! Now I have to get the Peter and Gordon albums, thank you, sir! Keep up the great work 😊
Thank YOU for watching, Joe! Please help me to spread the love 💕 by sharing the videos!!
Wow, fascinating stuff!! Great job, Trooper👏👏👏
Hi Cindy!! Glad you enjoyed it! Please share this puppy for me!
Yea ! Thanks for divulging this, "A World Without Love " sung by Peter & Gordon is one of my fav songs since my H.S. days & since then I never thought it was Paul McCartney's original composition. Love it !
Thank YOU for watching! Please help me spread the love 💕 by sharing this video with your friends!!
Once had this vinyl recording ---in 1964 part of a greatest hits album -I forget the name --I am 75 now 1
It was “The Best Of Peter And Gordon” Capitol Records - T-2549 released 1956
I'm 75, and remember all of these songs. Love 'em ALL. But you never hear things from behind the scenes like this. It's cool stuff. Thanks for the info.
Glad you enjoyed it, William! Please share the channel and the video for me!!
Still one of my favorite songs ever.
It's definitely an earworm!
Thanks A MILLION for the view, Melissa! Please help me to spread the Love by sharing the videos!!
This information is absolutely fascinating. Who knew? What a thrill to harken back to the old tunes and get the behind-the-scenes story that no one knew. Keep up the good work!

The sixties era was unrivalled for music and innovation
Thanks for the view!
As I watched and listened to your video, I noticed that your voice is very easy on the ears. You remind me of a very famous voice we used to hear every week on the radio. Mr. Casey Kasem. The way you have with words, as you report on people and songs, really reminded me of him. Keep up the good work. Loved your video, by the way. I liked and subscribed to your channel hoping to hear more like this one. Thanks again.
Thanks SO VERY MUCH for your view, support, and kind words! There are many out there and new ones posted as I have time to produce them. Check out the main channel page and the playlists. You can binge on a playlist of Beatles subjects!
Paul-a man of many talents.😊
Well said, Diane!

As a RUclips revenue sharing partner, I’m prohibited from playing long clips of copyrighted content on revenue-producing videos longer than a minute. 😣
😂 yep, play the dang song 😂
What’s the name of the song 😂❤ please🙏
@@jryland6 Just fast forward the video. it’s in the video with a visual text at 6:18 and mentioned after that as well.
This dude is ridiculous
Thanks for the trip down memory lane. A very insightful and interesting video. I was a young teen when this song came out and remember it well, as I do with many others of that era. They were wonderful musical times to experience.
Glad you enjoyed it, Mitch! Please help me to spread the love 💕 by sharing the channel and the videos!!
Vic flick was a renowned session guitarist in England. Play the James Bond theme and many others. He was on Pawn Stars and sold that guitar. He had a list that showed what songs he used it on. I believe that he got 50k for it
I had stop to make the James Bond reference before the narrator mentioned it😊
HA! Thanks for watching!!
It was his Strat, not the one he used with Peter &Gordon.
You cant deny that Paul was one of the greatest musicians of the 60s and 70s. I'm sooo happy that I was alive at this time to hear his music. Thanks Paul.
McCartney's demo of "World Without Love" shows a different feel to the song. Once the song was in the hands of Peter & Gordon and their producer it was a vast improvement to the song. Definitely not a song for the Beatles. Lennon and Harrison thought the line "Please lock me away" was a joke. Imagine their amazement when the song became a number one song in many countries.
No, when Paul performs a song it has a completely different feel to it, outworldly
It’s a wild business alright.
I ask my mum for the record for my 13th birthday back in Liverpool. Played it 5 times at my Birthday celebration at home. Love the song so much and great to hear it's history, thanks.😊
Nice memories! Thanks for the view!!
You’re the same age as me! Born and brought up in Liverpool I always loved this, had no idea Paul wrote it. Happy days!
@@Lynnefromlyn How about THAT! One of our best friends, by chance, is a mere 2 weeks older.
Im not surprise the Beatles did not record this song even though im sure its John Lennon who dislike becàuse Paul wrote it not him.
I’m not sure about that one. Both of them helped to record other songs that they personally didn’t like, written by the other guy.
A most enjoyable presentation. Real interesting information. Presented in everyone of THE GUITAR TROOPER’S channel. Good job
Thank you kindly, James! I appreciate your support! Please help me to spread the love 💕 by sharing the channel and the videos!
I used to hear A World Without Love on the AM dial when it first came out but I never heard of the song Woman. I looked for it on RUclips and I played it for about 15 seconds. It's lacking. Now I know why I never heard of it. I probably changed the station when it came on.
Thanks for watching the vid! Please share it for me!!
Well just keep across this while I was searching for old music videos and documentaries and this was incredible thank you very much
Glad you enjoyed it, Marianne! Welcome aboard!! Please share the site and videos with your friends!!
Wow ! I do think that the Beatles should have produced both A World Without Love and Woman. This is 2 songs 🎵 that goes well with them 👌.
I dunno what to think. Both Macaa and Lennon were cranking out so many songs that could afford to flip several to other performers and never miss them.
Born in 67 I've heard this song my whole life. Thanks for the story of it's long birthing process.
Hi Russell! And THANKS for the view and comment!! Please help me to spread the love 💕 by sharing the channel link and the videos!!!
