@JohnnyNoir I think we fully agree. It's a beautiful song, just over-orchestrated in its original rendition.

@helenS we do. It didn't need all the added touches Spector used

@JohnnyNoir absolutely

@redredred I don't think so.

@MissBarbaraThat sounds like legal posturing. I was an adult when it came out about the time the band broke up. It was well known the George couldn’t be forced into a studio at gunpoint with the others then. McCartney played drums, keyboard, guitar as well as bass and clearly wrote the song.
