The Song that Brought Paul McCartney to Tears (for John Lennon)

- "Think about me, every now and then, my old friend". These were supposedly the last words John Lennon ever said to Paul McCartney before John was murdered in 1980, in New York. These words would mystically revisit Paul a few months later in a song penned by Carl Perkins. This is the story of exactly what happened, including proof in the way of a Carl Perkins interview that I don't believe is on RUclips anywhere else...
More info on Lennon and McCartney's supposed final meeting: www.newjerseystage.com/articl...
The above, coupled with Carl Perkins' interview (linked below), in which he says Linda and Paul visited the Dakota 'three weeks or something like that' [before John was murdered], leads me to believe John and Paul's last meeting was early November, 1980.

Brothers quarrel, but they are still brothers!
❤ Yes most definitely , John is letting them know ..he still loves Paul ,,,great friends! 💜🎶🎶🦋
I am sure that he looked shock when the cameras were in his face.To loose a lifelong friend is tragic.
I used to pester my mum 1970s, why no Beatles reunion? She would say, oh they will one day, 😢
Just 2 of them left for the reunion.😂
Your mother knew they were SHIT
There were plans for the Beatles to reunite in Central Park had John lived. Not a lot of people know this but a concert was planned for the Great Lawn.
Thanks for sharing!
Blokes often turn nasty when married to a nasty woman
It was talked about, not planned. A lot of Beatle reunions were talked about.
@@bcask61 There's also the rumour/legend that Lennon and McCartney had booked (or tried to book) studio time in New York but alas, were never able to play together again.
Wrong. They would have reunited eventually but nothing was ever planned for Central Park, and it wouldn’t have been for free.
I believe it, because it would be awfully strange for Perkins to make up a conversation out of thin air that a living McCartney, if the conversation hadn’t actually happened, could easily contradict.
Twit! Do you think McCartney would spend the time and the money to sue an idiot? It's the same reason that The Royal Family never sue anyone. You can say whatever you want about the King and Camilla, Queen of the United Kingdom, they will never lower themselves to sue you....and quite right too.
"I believe it, because it would be awfully strange for Perkins to make up a conversation out of thin air that a living McCartney, if the conversation hadn’t actually happened, could easily contradict."
Paul M. has a lot more to do with his time than pretend that he isn't himself. What a ridiculous statement and belief that you have. SMH
I absolutely agree with Paul that John was channeling communication via Carl to Paul. It's beautiful!
Ridiculous bs.
@@josephblue4135 then you haven't experienced it to know.
@@JoanneJaworski no,, it is silly everything exist for a purpose what is a ghost doing for a purpose , example battle of the somme they took 6 spiritual readers there camped on the site for two days and nights but did not tell them ,,nothing happened .they moved to pashondale battle field and this time told them well the stupid stories they came out with, ,because they were told ,when asked why they had not had spirits visit at the first camp site they looked silly ,like gold fish mouths half open ..lies for cash,,sorry its nonsense,,everything living on earth will die has died never have cave man ghost or iron age bronze age red indians ,,always white wealthy or middle class edwardian or victorion or resent .do you see,,
I´ve lost the line .... who is Carl ??
Yes I remember Carl Perkins personally speaking about this in an interview on the Beatles channel.
Thanks for this. Spreading the word of Love, just as the Beatles did and will continue to do, is quite the appropriate way of describing these guys ! They were and are…wonderful! And so is what you have done here. Congrats
The white peacock story gets even spookier when one learns that John told his son Julian that if he were to pass away early, and he felt troubled, to look for a WHITE FEATHER for reassurance that he was there.
I was just about to mention that. I wonder if Julian ever told Paul that.
That's pretty common. I've said exactly that to my kids.
Hence, Julian’s White Feather Foundation.
Nope. Not me
@@pixie3760
Oh I believe this I've seen Carl Perkins interviewed. I do know that I'm 74 I remember very clearly significant things that have happened in my life. And how could either one of them forget this.
Was having a chat with my friend and he showed me your channel, I checked it out and was surprised to see a familiar face! Congratulations on the RUclips stuff, It's good to see you're doing well! this video is really cool and super informative. I'm not much of a music nerd but I was hooked xD -Jess H (ME School)
Hi Jess! I totally remember you from ME! Thanks for the kind words, hope you're doing well!! :)
Most songwriters have great memory.. after all, they have to remember words to be able to sing their song.. I still remember songs I wrote back in 1967.. when I was 13..I'm now 69 .. so yes I believe Carl...
❤
Very interesting. Good reporting. Also just to add to the white peacock, there is the Julian Lennon comment about the white feather being John
There are no coincidences
😅
Art Garfunkel gave an interview where he talks about John asking him how it was getting back with Paul Simon, saying he was thinking about getting back with his own Paul. It would have happened
"Reportedly battling a heroin addiction"... He admitted to it himself in interviews. It's also what his song cold turkey is about, well quitting it.
Well put together video with a lot of clips and info I never seen and was unaware of.
No I never knew that they were going to reunite and play in Central Park that would have been cool to see
They booked Art and Paul instead.😂
They reunited and nobody bought their records. Free as a Bird didn't even get to the top ten. Nail to the coffin of CRAP4.
That gave me chills.
It gives you chills, it makes me vomit any time I accidentally listen to their SHITY songs.
In SNL, it was George Harrison that turned up on SNL…
That's true. He came down and was haggling for his share of the 3k. Lol
Then he stuck around and played a couple songs with Paul....Simon.
George, first in 1976 then Ringo in 1988 and finally Paul in 1993.
Love ever dies - Forevermore
I’m sure the group would have gotten together for Ringo’s wedding to Barbara in 1981. Maybe sing some oldies around the piano. John did say that he would have went to Eric Clapton’s wedding if he were invited, so there could have been a reunion in 1979. Alas, it was never meant to be.
hE was invited, he just didn't go. what he said was had I known all the others were going i would have gone too
"...would have went..."
Is _atrocious_ English.🥺
@@brigidsingleton1596 Yikes! You are absolutely right.
@@stevenboettcher4796
Thank you for that acknowledgement.
There's hope in the universe afterall!! ❤️🖖
Perkins doest seem like a guy that would make stuff up like that
Watch a video a while back , Carl Perkins had made a similar comment to Paul, and Paul literally got up and walked out of the room. its was a few years before anyone knew about the song Lennon had composed. If im not mistaken Linda McCartney told Perkins that was the last thing john said to paul .
As far as I know they didn't go to SNL because Yoko Ono didn't allow John to go.
Good grief. Everything f##ked up once ONO got her claws into John.
John refused to participate in the Concert for Bangladesh because Yoko wasn't invited.
They were too tired to go. THAT is the truth.
@@markzappasodiAnd high. 😅
That's so strange after I came to the United Sates when I was 9. I got two video tapes. Now & Then and Look Who is Talking Now... and I would play them obsessively becauseI was home alone a lot after school and whenever. So I would play Now & Then... like on repeat forever. ... Now & Then....
Also Ozzy tune "Mr. Crowely" makes "paul" sad bout his late pappy
Belle histoire
Hi, fellow Beatle fans! I have been reading over some of your comments, and I have some very special things to say. First of all, I believe there will be a Beatles reunion with all four--in Heaven! That may disappoint you fellow earthlings, but hear me out. In a different sense, there has long been a reunion of them all, all over the world, here on earth. I wrote a long post explaining all that from my POV, and from the POV of--well, shall we say, a certain Jewish Carpenter that I know VERY well! He told me--and John--way back in 1989 that Jesus is a Beatles fan. I noted that a number of people say they were channeling John at some point. I knew I wasn't delusional, but of course there were times when I did think I was. In fact, I kept trying to figure out whether our dear John went to Heaven or not. I can prove I knew things about John that I had no natural way of knowing. The one I remember was the impression that Paul's song, "Let it be" featured not so much the Virgin Mary but John's Aunt Mimi, who raised him. There, that said, I think you will take me at my word. I don't know where I read that, but I was just as surprised as you to realize that the spirit that had entered me in 1984 and couldn't leave until I tricked two pastors into thinking I had a demon that needed to be cast out, was, in some sense or another, really John Lennon! They said a simple prayer and walked out. Immediately, John was gone and my ability to think straight was back--at least temporarily. John found himself back again in me a while later, again unable to leave voluntarily. But this time whatever had made things extra confusing to me while John tried desperately to help me was gone. I need to wrap this up soon because morning has broken and I have to help out in Sunday school. I am bipolar. I found out that for me it isn't an illness but a gift. Jesus is much more real and complete in me than John ever was. So let me leave you with this: I wrote a long letter to you all that was way too long to post. I will put that on my website soon. First I need to make some changes to the site, because the whole purpose of the site changed radically this time I had a manic incident. I was trying to make a living as a literary editor, and God made certain I got no bites for years... because He knows I am NOT chiefly an editor. I'm a WRITER! So visit my site anytime you like. It has some stories you can read from before, and poems. When I've got my site renovated enough, you can read my Letter to the World. Then, you will read about the play I'm writing called "Shades: Dying to Meet You." You will LOVE it! It will be a musical in the Portland, Oregon area. I will play Lennon, and I'm a woman. I know John would love that. More details later, loves!
Whew, finally posted! Thanks to Yeshua Ha Machiach! I may have spelled it wrong, but the lifetime-sought opportunity to study Hebrew landed in my lap recently, and I'll be sure to get it right in a while. So to my fellow English speakers, the name means Jesus the Messiah. But there is something very fun about his name in Hebrew, and it totally floors me: His name is YES! Look at it, short for Yeshua is Yes and Yesh. We have been speaking his name all the time and not knowing it. I thought Yoko would be especially pleased to hear this. Sure hope she finds out soon. I would be very nervous to have her attend my little play that I'm writing, but I know she will love it someday, and so will you. It's called "Shades: Dying to Meet You." You will read about it on my website, when the site is renovated in a little while. It's based on my experiences with a very odd John and an even odder Jesus in 1984 and 1989, and possibly in 2024. All I can say is Jesus is real; ask Him to be your Lord and Savior. Sorry to sound stereotypical, but He WILL come into your body and soul and life if you believe he will. And He will transform you, all in time. Something big is happening in the world today. He has been using other Heralds of His spring. Maybe you are it too? Join the inside of the greatest spy ring the world has every known. My code name is 99. Jesus is Maxwell but his hammer isn't silver. He just knows how to reprogram every part of me as He has in stages for me. Programmed to Get Smart. You better believe the Master has a sense of humor. He's a riot to be around! Love, peace, and lots of babies, physical and spiritual... The Second Eve. I am eager to find out if anyone else has ever been called by that name. But whatever you are meant to be... Tag, you're it!
Wow, no replies yet? I am nervous!
The day John was murdered is still the worst day of my life😢
Seemed like everything went downhill after Lennon was killed.
Thanks!
Wow, thanks so much! This is my first ever Super Thanks 😁👍
"one of" the greatest? Is there anyone really debating that? Simon and Garfunkel were great, I grant you, and there have been others... but this is the all-time best for me.
Ich finde es schon grausam, wie alles, was die Beatles je getan haben, Jahrzehnte später so haarklein auseinander genommen wird. John kann sich nicht mehr dazu äußern. Und auch Paul findet es sicher nicht so gut, daß jedes seiner Worte so auf die Goldwaage gelegt wird.
Ich bin froh, daß ich ein Nobody bin.
Tausend Grüße an Paul und Ringo.
Interesting -
Paul spent the rest of his life looking for a '' John Lennon-alike'' song writing partner.
He had a vast array of short-term song-writing partners, but none of them recreated the melodic and lyrical magic created by Paul and john's partnership.
Sir Paul McCartney may have a reputation of being pig headed by some.
This Is Absolutely Untrue.
Paul McCartney As With The Second Beatle Ringo Starr Only Problem To Critic's Is Basically Only Critic's Just Being As Desprate Foxes Looking For A Story Of Both Paul and Ringo Starr..But The Beatle Legacy Memorabilia Belongs To Paul McCartney & Ringo Starr. Full Stop. ❤
George Harrison told to Michael Aspel in 1988 that they were overslept that night and didn't really care what was going on. George said that in that sleepiness he told himself that John had been hit by a bullet, but he did not know that he was dead, and while he was comparing himself to John being dead, he went to sleep, as if it would be better in the morning, so that upon awakening he found that John was still dead... It was only in the morning that it all of that hit him with finality.
I feel like it's not that far fetched for john to say these words to paul, he seemed to be so cryptic in the way he would speak when it seemed to be "close to home"/something personal. He'd bring up lyrics in interviews and it kinda shows how he draws from his surroundings to tie his word play together
A few corrections. The photo of the Threatles with the peacock is from 1995, not 1994.
John and Paul were watching Lorne Michaels make the reunion offer live on tv. It hadn't been offered on the previous week's episode. They said that they were too tired to go to the studio, not too stoned to go.
I thought the last time they spoke was on the phone…
I thought that too. I thought their last conversation was on the phone and about baking bread (I think McCartney said this on the Howard Stern Show and writes it in a book of his). So, I was surprised to hear what Carl Perkins said in the interview at 8:20 ish in the video… intriguing! Take a look in the description for some links that suggest their last meeting actually took place in person in November, 1980. Could be wrong though!
Paul and John last saw each other in person in April 1976 so this entire report is incorrect!
Chills
Maybe that was John humming in background of Now a Then. ( Cause he forgot the words....)
I don’t think they were drifting apart in 1965…. Just saying
Lennon and McCartney give çĥills

4:52 In the US you mean right???? Cause AMERICA is a whole continent not just that country!!!!! 🤷🏻♂
Never going to happen, John knew that they could never live up to the hype....nrver be as good as once were...
I think the will document it song that drove Paul McCartney to tears was Louis Louis…!
Before the beatles the uk was in black and white very grim
James Paul McCartney died in car crash on September 11 1966 and was replaced by William (Billy). This is the truth no matter what!
You're telling me the real Paul McCarthy is dead
He's been dead since 1966
@@justiceforjamespaulmccartney ty now you made sense.
Unfortunate and it is, but Paul wanted to make a duo concert with John, and John told Paul the very most arrogant nesty remarks to go where etc. John was professionally, very jelous of Paul. My huge question is, why is are some people are trying to paint John, so nice When actualy, Paul started out, the musical grou - s - in the very start, and John went along with him!
It was John's band
Song for Yoko by John ...?
George showed up.
Live aid 1985 they reunite
m***f**** brought tears to my eyes, dammit!
yeah, but your long drawn out presentation of it is murder. ugh. the one 00:00 - 00:06 line is enough tor me. all the rest of the BS that follows surrounding it is just BS.
John and Paul last saw each other in 1976..not 1980 john did indeed say that to paul at that last meeting
There are some accounts by James McCartney that his dad mentioned John seeing him as a baby. James was born in September of 1977. Although this isn't confirmed, it would suggest they saw each other later than 1976. The 1980 theory is based on what Carl Perkins says in this video at 8:19 - he mentions 'we stopped by the Dakota, three weeks' - we know Paul didn't visit Lennon for a period of three weeks in 1976, so it would suggest Carl meant to say 'three weeks before he died'. The following link also supports the 1980 theory! www.newjerseystage.com/articles/getarticle.php?titlelink=an-interview-with-stephen-larsen-about-my-old-friend-the-final-meeting-of-john-lennon-and-paul-mccartney
Strawberry Fields forever!
Quite strange enough that the Stones don't have a drummer and bass guitarist,while the Beatles have.😂
Paul McCartney did not die it was just a rumor I remember when that was going on
you have a great voice mr mongoose. quality radio vocal.
Thanks! I actually used to be a radio DJ but sadly because of COVID and other business issues, I lost my job. So I’m using RUclips as a way to share my nerdy passion for music instead!

I don’t believe he said them words he might’ve actually wrote them words in a note or a letter, but I do not believe he said them words…….
Of course its true, and yes they would of got together, anything is possible.But what does it matter now.
Hilarious conspiracy stories but interesting all the same

Ole Billy will push the agenda to the bitter end...Oh and thanks for the music William
Everyone grows up
This is horse pucky feathers, Lennon wouldn't ever reunited period. and I cheer for that !
No, not true. John said it could be a possibility.
I am always intrigued about the Paul is dead conspiracy. This would explain how John fell out of love with Paul. Paul is certainly not as likeable after 1966.
You'd cry too if you knew in your heart your friend was bigger than Jesus.
No, John never said he was bigger than Jesus. In an interview he noted, not boasted, that The Beatles were more popular than Jesus with kids in the UK. He was bemoaning that. He was stating a sad fact. He wasn’t happy about that fact, being a man who used his fame to promote love and peace. I believe he was assassinated for his pro peace views.
Give it a break.
Morto nel 1966?ma vala.
Silly sausage
😉😉
Lol… fake Paul. He’s Billy.
What I'm thinking is your yapping to much but never get to the point!
Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for the comment ❤️
Beta Male
Dont speak like that of John Lennon. Too many bad things have been said of him that werent true. Without Lennon there was no Beatles, Paul was good with light dance music, but John was the heart & soul of the group.
Your comment about Paul’s music renders you a complete fool and non-credible. By the end of the Beatles, Paul absolutely fully equaled John.
You just showed yourself as a fake Beatles fan. “Light Dance Music”?? 😂😂😂
Yeah, Sgt Pepper, Get Back, Back in the USSR, I’ve Got a Feeling, Day Tripper, Helter Skelter, Hey Jude, We Can Work it Out, Got to Get You Into My Life, Drive My Car, Lady Madonna, Why Don’t We Do It in The Road, The Night Before, Let it Be, Eleanor Rigby, Paperback Writer, Magical Mystery Tour, Fixing a Hole, With a Little Help from my Friends, I’m Looking Through You, Things We Said Today, Can’t Buy Me Love, Hello Goodbye, Penny Lane, The End Medley, You Never Give me Your Money….and about 35 more.
All “Light Dance Songs” huh?? Please leave the site.
There wouldn't have been The Beatles as we remember them today if all of them hadn't been involved. Try and think what it would have been like if Georges song's were never included? Sean Lennon once said in an interview when asked what made the Beatles so popular and life changing and he said that the Beatles were like a car. A car won't move without all 4 wheels and that's what the Beatles were. Without any one of those parts, it wouldn't have been the Beatles as we know them today.
He cried, you fools who care if he cries or not, how much money you got Paul? And why is Aleister Crowley on the cover of pepper?
Nobody cares about Faul the Faker!
That’d be faul not Paul🤬imposter ‼️
Yes, but Billy saved The beatles and has done a fine job
John & George both killed themselves.
1- John told the world where he was living, u don't give your address away when your in the limelight, u never know what kook is listening, in John's case it was Mark David Chapman, I read some of Catcher In The Rye & it had nothing to do with John at all. Mark's elevator just didn't go to the top floor, he just wanted to kill John so he could be famous, that's it, he now has a life sentence.
2-George he decided to smoke a carton of cigarettes a wk, on his album "Dark Horse" his voice was very raspy why, too many cigarettes he was filling his lungs with smoke & slowly killing himself, look up all the famous people music or TV who smoked & died. Type this into your computer-images of a person's lungs after 30 yrs of smoking, black as the road. With cigarettes u only get 20 to a pack & with
each inhale it goes right to your lungs killing yourself with each puff of your cigarette, but their your lungs.
You ought to be ashamed of yourself.
Is it true that Marvin gayes last words to his father were... Morning dad are you in a good mood today?.... 😅
C'mon Paul, there's no crying in rock!! Knock it off - and stop talking about John. Lennon was a miserable SOB, and he often made flippant remarks about you and your songs. Stop patting this guy on the back.
the thing is, Lennon was always the genious not miserable stupid. he easily so fucking real and honest and they all (beatles) new it and recognized that !
Too bad Yoko Ono came into the picture and John became a race traitor. So sad. When the Beatles broke up, a lot of hearts were broken as well.
Your sick views about relationships and race have had no place anywhere in the last 200 years.
Explain to me why my views are sick? Japanese do not promote miscegenation. Jews do not like to breed with other than their own. Why is it always when a White Man wants to keep his race pure some creature like you tries to set me straight. It is your ilk which has caused the racial troubles we find ourselves in by not paying attention to the importance of race and genetics in the first place. Do you wear a yarmulka by chance?
@@charlie-obrienI was just going to write something very similar.
What an enormously unfortunate comment to make. Very un-Beatle like, I may add.
Race traitor??! … does your right arm ever get sore from being perpetually in “Sieg Heil” mode??
PAUL WAS VERY ANGRY ON JOHN! YES, WHEN HE PAST AWAY ,HE WAS CRIYNG COME ON!!! PAUL, SHAME YOURE SELF!!!
The song that brought tears to his eyes was like this: Hay craps your songs are shit and don't get better better. NanaNanananana, hay cripes.
The Americans always take the piss out of the British. The four actors with no musical talent appeared in the sitcom to ridicule the British's CRAP4. They made songs and had 4 number ones to prove that the CRAP4 was a pile of hipe (SHYTE in a real meaning).
