One of the Greatest Songs Ever Recorded: “Little Woman Love” by Wings (Paul McCartney)!!!
For as long as I’ve been on the radio, and definitely for as long as I’ve been writing a blog, I will occasionally make a reference to a song being “One of the Greatest Songs Ever Recorded!” (GSER) I would usually follow that by saying that I would eventually start a category for it, but then…

One of the Greatest Songs Ever Recorded: “Little Child” by The Beatles!!!
As far as I’m concerned, pretty much every Beatles song is One of the Greatest Songs Ever Recorded! That’s my starting point when analyzing Beatle tracks! My radio show, “Theme Attic,” is on Wednesdays 12PM-4PM ET. The show can be heard on WHFR 89.3 FM in the Dearborn-Detroit area of Michigan, or it can be streamed with…

As I stayed up and waited for the final results of the Michigan State Primary, I received word from someone on Facebook that George Martin had passed. I have learned over time that one has to verify whether someone has really passed, but I knew in my heart that it was all too true. And…

It Was Fifty Years Ago Today: The Shea Stadium Concert, August 15, 1965!!!
https://youtu.be/Bt2d8JKtwiE Historically, The Beatles put together an unprecedented number of “firsts.” Many of which may never be duplicated again: The first appearance on “The Ed Sullivan Show,” the activity on the record charts in April 1964, the audience for the first performance of “All You Need Is Love,” and so on.

Paul Is Dead…Again??!!
There is an article on the internet that references Beatle drummer and soon to be Rock and Roll Hall of Fame solo artist Ringo Starr as having stated that the band actually did replace Paul McCartney with Billy Shears—a McCartney look-alike, after Paul died in a car crash. Since I have had some of my…

“Blue Moon of Kentucky” by Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr!!!
I was looking for “Blue Moon of Kentucky” by a different artist when I stumbled upon this little gem featuring three of The Beatles around the time of their Anthology sessions. Pretty cool!
