An incredible, witty, and historic reflection on the song that started it all. In this 2009 interview, Paul McCartney credits George Martin for the success of "Please Please Me."
Paul reveals that the song was originally a very slow track written by John. It was George Martin who suggested speeding it up, famously telling them after the session: "Gentlemen, you've just made your first Number One." Paul's humorous take on learning to "listen to grown-ups" and his admission that the band eventually outgrew even their producer's authority is a must-watch for any fan of the Fab Four's early years. ????✨
