Well, there are a number of other clips in various locations in which George Martin and Paul discuss the writing and recording process for "Yesterday."
Considering the fact that "Yesterday" is the most covered song in history with something like 3000 different recordings of it in various versions by as many artists, I'm sure that original signed score is probably worth in the millions of dollars.
'Summertime' by George Gershwin is the most recorded song of all time with over 80 thousand recordings by various artists. The Guinness Book Of World Records was only parroting the Rolling Stone statement and that magazine only considers music from the rock era on.
@@donaldsaigh8785 Interesting. Thanks for the info. The original Porgy in Porgy and Bess was my voice teacher in the early 1990s here in Washington, DC. Todd Duncan. The best ears of any voice teacher I ever studied with and a really nice guy. He told me a great story about how Gershwin chose him to be his Porgy and "Summertime" is integral to this amazing story.
@@donaldsaigh8785 Well, thanks for correcting me! That's great to know. I've heard that so many times that I just took it as fact but I should know better than to make that assumption. I am going to check into what you're saying here though so I don't take what you're saying as assumption!
@@Sprtschk It's my understanding that Paul wrote the tune; Paul and John worked on the lyrics together, but it didn't quite work out, and Paul finished the lyrics by himself whilst on holiday in Portugal with Jane Asher. I don't know if many/any of John's ideas made in onto the finished piece, but reading John interviews where he discusses this song, I'm guessing not that many. Although, if you join the process of being in the writers' room, even if your ideas don't end up on the finished product, you still have earned a fee. Because now Paul knew what he wanted from knowing what he *didn't* want to do.
Just think if George Martin had demanded co-writing credit on "Yesterday" ... especially since John for many years made an absolute point in interviews that HE had had virtually nothing whatsoever to do with the song.
I think we're starting to acknowledge that George Martin was the 5th Beatle. Not just a producer but a composer and arranger. And that he played a major role in the breakthroughs that the Beatles pioneered in at least symphonic rock.
If you hear the album McCartney, recorded in 1970 it becomes impossible to believe, that Paul McCartney could be the real composer of a masterwork as Yesterday….the 1970 album shows that he was an amateur composer, a very charismatic singer, but that was all. Yesterday is the work of a master composer, not of an amateur. The question will remain open….
The question will remain open only to serial conspiracy theorists, not normal people. Paul wrote Yesterday. Many people have confirmed it. And just because you didn't like his 1970 McCartney album, it doesn't change that fact.
You probably also believe that Shakespeare didn't write Shakespeare. Even if McCartney never wrote another good song (which obviously he did) he still could have written Yesterday. Creativity and artistry has peaks and troughs. It's absurd to say that because he had what you consider a bad album later on he couldn't have written Yesterday. Don't confuse 'songwriting' with 'composing'. The recording you hear on 'Help!' was not the work of McCartney alone, of course, and no-one has ever said it was. He wrote the words and devised the melody. It was then produced by George Martin. The root of your suspicion seems to be that you don't really seem to understand the process of writing and recording popular music. The producer works with the band to fully realize their idea in a 'final' recorded form. It's been a homily for decades that George Martin was 'the fifth Beatle' and that he was a tremendously important part of the Beatles records. It's not a mystery or a conspiracy. No George Martin - no Beatles as we know them.
@@Chinaboatman Methinks Leonardo has some non-musical 'issues' with McCartney that's warping his opinion (maybe jealousy). Maybe he also thinks Leonardo da Vinci didn't paint the Mona Lisa or Bill Gates didn't start Microsoft.
You mean the same album that contains another masterwork of his called Maybe I'm Amazed. Nice try. McCartney's first record was intentionally made up of small ditties, tracks that McCartney wrote just for the fun of it without great artistic aspirations. However it does contain some fully-fledged songs like Maybe I'm Amazed, Junk, Every Night etc.
Three notes does not a copyright infringement make. But the ascending line after is a bit similar too. You get the prize for finding the song that sounds most similar though. But I don't think he ripped it off
What is George's point, that he had something to do with writing the song? I'd think the fact that Paul wrote his name next to Lennon and Mozart, who obviously had nothing to do with the song, was in jest and renders that note meaningless.
It is obviously a short part of a longer clip. It would have been great to hear the rest and at the same time it is interesting to wonder what that actual score would have fetched in a music memorabilia auction?
Perhaps simply pointing out the fact that Paul was thanking him for the contribution. The songwriting contract was LENNON/ MC CARTNEY. No matter what, until the end of the Band. Mozart was probably tongue in cheek humor. Best Wishes
Martin wrote the string arrangement, according to Pauls suggestion. George Martin stated this in another interview, I cant remember where, maybe in the Compleat Beatles.
I wish this was longer.

@@donaldsaigh8785 really ? never heard of him or that song before lol
Well, let's just give Me and Mrs Gershwin's other son his just due. Ira was the lyricist, George wrote the music.
it's cute he also included John Lennon too :"3 they did not wanted to be apart.
John helped with the lyrics tho, it wasn't just a cute thing between friends.
Actually, every song they wrote was “Lennon/McCartney” back then… no matter who actually wrote it. They had an agreement.

Uh oh! you walked into a snake pit of Paul fans, John's fans and Beatles fans all together
Lennon's only contribution to the song was the title. This is a Paul McCartney song
You were The 5Th BeAtle
Thank You👑🌟♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🌟👑
Actually the second in importance after Paul. Paul-George (Martin)-John-George-Ringo.
@@lferreira1673 Actually, no.
He arranged and wrote the orchestral part for Strawberry Fields. Best prog rock song ever.

George was credited as producer

This is Awesome! I am definitely pressing the like button right now!
1965, it only seems like yesterday !
yeah and all my troubles seem so far away
Oh! He touched the relic...
Where is the rest of this interview???
Is there a way to get this score?
✌💖
Touching story about the genuine original Paul. He was a kind, humble soul. Nothing like his CIA/MI5 replacement.
Yawn!
Yep
I think we're up to about 20 fifth beatles now.
Wow…. I wonder what that’s worth.
I wonder how much that score sheet is worth ?
Still bothered that he never finished Game of Thrones. Nice song though.
Madonna has not sold more or even as much as the Beatles.
Si pusieran suptitulos se agradecería....

Lol. Stfu. Paul is not just "some" composer.
Entiendo el inglés de todo el mundo menos el de los ingleses.....FUCK !!!
Para ser más justo, no puedes culpar a los ingleses por eso.
His English is clear!
I'm non- native english speaker and didn't miss a word.
Hablan más claro y menos apresurado que los americanos. Yo vivo acá.
Es un inglés puro, fino, germano, elegante y exquisito
Paul took the start of the song from Besame Mucho.
