    • Tom Eames
    • With a Little Help from My Friends. With A Little Help From My Friends (Remastered 2009) This was written by Lennon and McCartney for the Sgt Pepper and given to Ringo Starr to sing.
    • Magical Mystery Tour. Magical Mystery Tour (Remastered 2009) This was released on the band's Magical Mystery Tour soundtrack album, which was a double EP in Britain but an album in America.
    • Yellow Submarine. The Beatles - Yellow Submarine. A children's song written by Lennon and McCartney for Revolver, this catchy tune was sung by Ringo Starr.
    • Free as a Bird. The Beatles - Free As A Bird. In 1994, the surviving members of the Beatles reunited to finish three John Lennon demos. Two of them were recorded, with this Jeff Lynne-produced track being the lead single.
    • “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” Writer: Harrison. Recorded: September 5 and 6, 1968. Released: November 25, 1968. Not released as a single. The lyrics for “While My Guitar Gently Weeps,” George Harrison’s first truly great Beatles song, began as an accident — but a deliberate one.
    • “A Day in the Life” The ultimate Lennon-McCartney collaboration, “A Day in the Life” wasn’t recognized as the band’s masterwork until the Eighties, after Lennon’s death.
    • “I Want to Hold Your Hand” “I Want to Hold Your Hand” was the first exposure most American had to the songwriting magic of Lennon and McCartney. It set off Beatlemania, and represented what producer George Martin calls “the apex of Phase One of the Beatles’ development.”
    • “Strawberry Fields Forever” Lennon once said growing up “was scary because there was nobody to relate to.” Strawberry Field, a Liverpool youth’s home near where Lennon grew up, represented those haunting childhood visions.

    • 'Helter Skelter' From: 'The Beatles' (1968) One of the Beatles' toughest tracks is all raging guitars, scarred vocal cords and blistered fingers. Its abrasive tone rocks the tranquility found elsewhere on the White Album, while still being an integral part of that LP's sturdy-but-crumbling structure.
    • 'Here Comes the Sun' From: 'Abbey Road' (1969) Abbey Road's second side is mostly dominated by a multi-song suite orchestrated by Paul McCartney. But this lovely George Harrison song opens the side with a beam of sunshine that carries in with it the Beatles' glorious final notes.
    • 'Paperback Writer' "Paperback Writer" was the only Beatles song to reach No. 1 in 1966. But Beatlemania was far from over. The group was stretching its sound – check out the fatter bass anchoring the track – and boundaries during the era, recording the mesmerizing Revolver before moving on to the colorful popscape of Sgt.
    • 'Revolution' The Beatles reworked "Revolution" so many times during the troubled White Album sessions that three versions appeared in 1968: a bluesy, acoustic crawl found on The Beatles, a messy sound collage also on the LP and this plugged-in electric version, which was released as a single as the B-side of "Hey Jude."
