Today in Rock history: Hello Goodbye (The Beatles) was a hit. As with so many Beatles songs, the songwriting credit is Lennon–McCartney while it was either or, it was written solely by Paul McCartney in this case. Alistair Taylor, who worked for the Beatles manager, Brian Epstein, had asked McCartney how he wrote his songs, and McCartney took him into his dining room to give him a demonstration on his harmonium. He asked Taylor to shout the opposite of whatever he sang as he played the instrument—black and white, yes and no, stop and go, hello and goodbye. Taylor later said, I wonder whether Paul really made up that song as he went along or whether it was running through his head already. (1967) youtu.be/HBZ8ulc5NTg
