- In 1970 the Beatles no longer existed as a band. Ringo, Paul, George and John had released their solo albums and it seemed that the four would not get back together for a long time, but the band was dragging financial and commercial problems that had not been fully resolved since the death of Brian Epstein. And in a 3-on-1 dispute to choose a new manager and solve apple's problems, Paul McCartney had to sue his bandmates. This is the story.

Better call Paul
Paul had no other alternative than to have to sue the other 3. As time went on the other three had a fall out with Klein also. Thank God for Mick Jagger for giving Paul the heads up.
Paul had actually brought Mick Jagger to a meeting to tell the other three how bad Klein was, but when they showed up, Klein was already there. This spooked Mick and he just said something along the lines of “Well he’s alright if you like that sort of thing.”
@@jameswright2209 Jagger slipped Paul a note that said stay away from him.
Paul's decision to sue them was moronic and cost them millions. He's done a phenomenal job of setting the narrative and deflecting from that fact. Don't believe me? Add up their record sales (solo and Beatle) from 1971-1974 and then you get a number.You'll have to separate the sales per year. Now use compound interest at 7% and add that for every year. The difference in the two numbers you get at the end is what his suit cost them. Not to mention the lawyers fees and the aggravation of living on an allowance for four years.
00:07 - must have hurt for John to admit Paul was right and he and the others were wrong. I understand he didn't want to "go into the details of it"...
Paul was willing to compromise and have it not be Eastman. He recognized the optics of that as looking like nepotism or whatever. He was only adamant that it could not be Klein. The other three were stubborn-with John and George full of contempt, and Ringo willing to go along with it. Ultimately, Paul was proven right.
John and George could be super hostile despite the way they’re made into saints now. Paul was more decent and deferential than he’s ever given credit for. People resent him for being controlling, but he’s the only reason we got Sgt. Pepper or any albums after it.
Paul was totally correct in what he did.
Klein would have taken everything that The Beatles had worked so hard for..
John admitted that Paul was right in the action he took against his friends in The Beatles...
I'm so glad that John and Paul made up and were friends again before John was so cruelly taken from us...😢
And In The End The Love You Take Is Equal To The Love You Make.... ❤
Paul understood more than the other Beatles how to deal with legal problems. To say any more about that, would be presumptive and beyond my scope.
What a fantastic video have a wonderful day ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊
Paul was trying to save the Beatles and the other 3 wouldn’t believe him. Allen Klein ripped off the best band ever.
I can understand why the other 3 were reluctant to be managed by Paul's father in law but since Macca was so opposed to Klein I would have thought that they could have found someone else. Klein was vile, didn't give a shit about his clients only enriching himself so Paul was correct in not having anything to do with him and he had no option but to sue the other 3.

Can I get a yellow submarine album video bc the story is rlly interesting 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
The breakup was messy and it didn’t help that there was already fractions in the band starting in the get back sessions Plus also Brian’s death still had a looming shadow over the band
Actually the fraction in the band started with The White Album.
@@daytripper9222 well yes the fractures started but you don’t see it until the get back sessions
@@nvm9040 True, you don't see it but you can definitely hear it in some of the tracks on the The White Album.
@@daytripper9222 most definitely but everything was changing within the group
Alan Klein was about to screw overThe Beatles, as Stan Polley successfully screwed over Badfinger. The lawsuit was justified.
Nothing is Real does a good job of explaining much of the nuance that was involved in the Allen Klien story. It seems that many of the same people who thought it absurd to use Yoko as a scapegoat for the breakup of the Beatles now like to believe Klien as the scapegoat.
You omitted one fact...John was the one who announced he was leaving the Beatles and, for his own (or Oh No's) reasons, allowed Paul to be blamed for the breakup. Most people (including myself) believe that if it wasn't for the toxic influence of "Oh No" on John, the Beatles would never have permanently dissolved the band. Paul was the last person who would have desired that to occur.
Im presuming you're running low on the old crystals of meth there sonny to come up with that misogynist old piece of flatulence.
Yeah? Have you not read one of George Harrison’s interviews where he said that it WASN’T Yoko’s doing about the split (including Maureen, Patti and Linda in that as well)? George pointed out that they had never had any time away from each other (longer than six months) and THAT was why they split.
I think they would have lasted a little bit longer, but George said they had problems long before then so maybe not
They blamed Paul for the breakup because he announced he was leaving the band to the press. John did it privately because Paul himself and Allen Klein asked him to.
Paul was right in a terrible situation
Sony owns it all now😢
Paul does, he bought it in 2015
When i hear about all these manger's and bad deals.. for most bands, I think about Peter Grant. He may have been "tough" but he was fair (correct me if I'm wrong) he made sure Zeppelin received most of the money and split it 4 ways...then his 20% Grant never laet other lawyers push him around or Zeppelin. I don't think ive read or heard Zeppelin having money problems.. amongst themselves ir with record labels.. except for the song reminds the same film, during msg concert $250 grand was nicked. Peter was a a brilliant manager and he was looking out for the 4 unlike Klein and most mangers who are looking out for themselves. Paul suing the Beatles saved their asses really. Paul was smart to do what he did.👍🏻🎸 The Beatles are still the greatest band, my favourite.
There was a rumor Klein had a hit put on Sam Cooke via some wise guys.
Cooke definitely was killed in mysterious circumstances. It wouldn’t surprise me if he, Klein, was a party to it.
Brian Epstein's death isn't cut and dry either. Klein had been trying to get him to sell him the Beatles contract for some time
It was the 30 december 1970.
He had to.
Didn't Michael Jackson end up with the rights to the Beatles early music, if so the Beatles still lost. Music industry, what a rip off for the artist who does all the work.
Yeah, and ironically that was Paul’s fault. He suggested to Jackson to get into music publishing, to which Jackson replied ok, I’ll buy the Beatles’ songs. Paul thought Jackson was joking, until 1985 when Jackson did exactly that.
He's getting it back due to a change in the us copyright law . Anyways he sued Sony over it and appears to have stuck a favourable deal with Sony since they settled it out of court.
I just wonder, of everything that Paul got from winning the lawsuit (if it was the rest of all the the earnings they had made through the years) “Did he split it ($) with the rest of the Beatles, or keep it for himself ???
if only sam cooke were alive by then to tell them about alan...
Boy you just stepped right over the fact that John several months before Paul made that statement had quit the band. You know I'm 74 and I do have to say it's mind blowing to me how history is in the short few years of the Beatles which was a long time I mean it's what 60 years now that being said how many of the facts are misconstrued. I've read a few books but every one of them are biased and one way or another. You know the interesting thing is you can go down the rabbit hole with the Beatles and hear these questions answered in their own mouth. Being interviewed various ways. That's why I find it interesting that TH-camrs get so mini facts wrong
You left out the Northern Songs debacle where Paul bought more shares behind John's back; and foolishly refused to buy their early song rights ! That was the beginning of John not trusting Paul's money decisions.
That last George song… can anyone remember the name?
Dear AI voice: "corps" is pronounced core, not corpse.
Well it was a corpse…
@@Bluemusic66 A Paul Corpse
Paul the Legend of the beatles. Got more albums more 💰🤑💲biggest hits . Bless 🙌 Paul McCartney
Paul McCartney was absolutely right and doing what he did because Alan Klein didn’t represent the Beatles very well as did Brian Epstein but one thing I think Alan Klein did you very right was the red and blue albums which are fantastic.
This is true. And I think Klein was behind the "The Beatles Again/Hey Jude" album as well.
John and George could write good music but that was it. They were dumb as rocks when it came to leading the group and business. Even McCartney wasn't all that great about business, but he was a good judgement of character!
John was never a good judge of character!!
Wrong on a few facts. For one thing the other three did not want Paul's relatives representing them. Which was their first mistake. They had a fantastic and long reputation in the industry. And Klein was known as a thief. I do not believe I don't want to check right now but I think that meeting you talking about did not happen before and if it did there was no resentment about the other Beatles about that. They couldn't blame their representation because they didn't have the money after all
need tag get viral
You know if back in 1964 if they would have asked the Beatles: "Which one of you will sue the others in the future?" they would have all said Paul.
Klein was horrible quite far from adorable known for doing things
To the stones and Jagger told Macca Sooooo
he said "stay away either that or you will pay" Macca understood that this man was certainly up to no good. But as he told the boys of the fact a noise came from behind!
Macca got his revenge though, he was right and John admitted that in his Johnesque way.
John IS Documented in an interview that Paul Did Not do this for the Collective Four but for HIS OWN SAKE! After John Walked Out on The Beatles Permanently, it is Documented that Paul Succumbed to Alcoholism until his Wife Linda Helped him through it. This is what his Beautiful Song "Maybe I'm Amazed" is about!!
This is a lode of nonsense. I get it, we all love the Beatles and want them to be the heroes of the story. It is so much easier to point fingers at Klein than it is to accept that they could be cruel to each other. It's a convenient answer. Take John's quote at the top. The primary reason he is saying this is because the Beatles money is frozen. Their money was frozen for over four years. From 1971 to the end of 1974, all four of them are on an allowance. The biggest music stars in the world live on an allowance like children. meanwhile their frozen money can not be used to make more money through investments. Which costs them 10's of millions of dollars. To get that money unfrozen, they have to make a deal. Paul will not make that deal until Klein is out of the way. So Lennon has to throw Klein under the bus to get the wheels started so they can make the deal and unfreeze their money.
I HAVE 2 CALENDARS IN FRONT OF ME. ONE IS FROM SEPTEMBER 1966 THE OTHER IS FROM NOVEMBER 1966 SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 11TH 1966 OR WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 9 1966? LOOK AT THE BACK COVER OF SGT PEPPER WHAT IS GEORGE POINTING AT ? MCCARTNEY NEVER DIED I DON'T BELIEVE IN PID.
James Paul McCartney died in car crash on September 11 1966 and was replaced by William (Billy). This is the truth no matter what.
So dumb that an adult wrote that
this is basically the revisionist history as told by Paul, and Paul of course is known to tell the story as he sees fit.
That ole rascal Billy, he really thinks he IS Paul
