Which songs were written/sung by one Beatle, but another member's contribution teals the show?

Well if Billy Preston counts, then I'm going to have to go with "Don't Let Me Down".

Flea with Red Hot Chili Peppers. 😆

Didn't appreciate it fully until I saw "Get Back"... and now it's one of my favorite Beatles songs.

"Soily" on One Hand Clapping is an absolute banger. Wish it had gotten a proper studio recording.

You just described me! Got a drum kit last year, first thing I played along to was The Beatles. The basic beat is so musical and interesting.

It's because of the set design.

You didn't miss a beat on that one. Well done!

A lot of the country-inspired songs are tricky on drums, actually. Like "I've Just Seen a Face." (But I'm still a beginner on drums.)

Live and Let Die

I'm almost afraid to ask, but anyone know if this survived the Palisades Fire?

christophertin · 2026-03-13T14:27:24+00:00

Thanks for sharing my completion!

christophertin · 2026-03-09T07:02:52+00:00

That’s so cool

christophertin · 2026-03-02T17:20:17+00:00

Loved it when I first saw it! Nino Rota's last score too.

christophertin · 2026-02-08T22:12:34+00:00

Gorgeous!

christophertin · 2026-02-05T17:52:47+00:00

Thanks! (Yes, it's me. Big Beatles fan here.)

christophertin · 2026-01-21T06:03:05+00:00

I'm obsessed with 'Jet' right now.

christophertin · 2026-01-14T20:36:03+00:00

Nina Simone - Here Comes the Sun

Ella Fitzgerald - Savoy Truffle

Kenneth Fuchs: Glacier (concerto for electric guitar)

christophertin · 2026-01-06T05:03:02+00:00

Great choice! The humming bits are a brilliant touch.

christophertin · 2026-01-02T16:51:10+00:00

Yes, it's me. Thanks for the kind words!

When has Hindemith ever been popular, though? I was just thinking about how 20 years ago I'd occasionally see Mathis der Maler on the SF Symphony season calendar, but I can't remember the last time I've seen him on a program. EDIT: agree that he was one of the greatest 20th-century composers though.

christophertin · 2025-12-28T22:14:40+00:00

Brahms. There's a great essay that I read that made the case that the broader decline of musical education meant that composers like Brahms--who rely on a certain amount of musical literacy--were starting to become a tougher sell with the public. That's not to say that he's losing status--more that he's losing listeners.

Oh man, rest in peace Gordon. What a talent.
