George Harrison instructed Paul McCartney during the creation of The Beatles' "Something," a development that was previously unthinkable. The song became George's first A-side.
The Beatles' producer used a line of John Lennon's "Imagine" to criticize the use of drugs even though the Fab Four were associated with the 1960s drug culture.
The Beatles' Dan Auerbach said The Beatles' "Eleanor Rigby" exemplifies something about pop music. He also revealed what he thought about The Beatles compared to The Rolling Stones.
Nile Rodgers of Chic said he's no Paul McCartney but he can really relate to a lyric from "Maybe I'm Amazed," which is his favorite song by the former Beatle.
