GET BACK Paul McCartney writes The Long And Winding Road with Mal -#shorts

Mal: Anymore songs?
Paul: Oh, yeah. one of the most beautiful songs of all time

Magic

Mal was aces. What a dude. Wishing I could have met him.

Genius! A magical minstrel. 🎹🎹🎹🎹👑

Paul worked like a dog. I imagine he still does.

Mal was one of the very few who could walk among the band and talk to them while they were working. He played some simple things on a couple Beatles songs and is said to have helped with a (uncredited) lyric or two.

George Martin was every bit as important as Mal was. Actually more. Martin was present for the first #1 single. Martin's classically trained ear was less about conceptual creation and more about adding the finishing touches. He took the semi complete product and gave it the detailed polish and shine. Martin added the string quartets, the swirly circus sounds, the trippy sound effects, and the symphony accompaniments. It wasn't until the Beatles evolved back to a more traditional rock n roll sound in the "Let it be" album that Martin saw a diminished contributing role. All after Beatle manager Epstein had died, and the newly formed Apple Corp. was changing the band's direction. By then, they were practically solo artists anyway.

Unreal the job Mal had. Hearing genius at work. It is mind boggling

❤

Too bad Mal was never credited on the projects he contributed, earning a measly wage, dying a pauper…So much for the myth of the Beatles being so generous and kind…

The effortless genius

Mal had a kind face

Paul and Ringo doing what they know best

Oh Mal...

Just great to watch a master at work thanks for the video il faro26

thats what genius level is.

Now i sing “The 2nd verse I haven’t got yet……”

Mal Evans - The real fifth Beatle.

The look on Linda's face at the end. Pure love and amazement.

I don't know what's more intriguing: hearing a song I've heard hundred of times in my life in its building block stages with my mind filling in the blanks during the unformed 2nd verse, or Paul saying he's never seen The Wizard of Oz.

I could never get weary of the composition of this song 🎵 it's magical by Paul McCartney

Casually just banging out a masterwork

I think Billi Shears did a good job!

Mal tell glyn to not add an orchestral arrangement

Pure musical genius , the music just magically flows out of him

Genius. We are lucky to have him in our lifetime

I love how Mal is so entranced all the time. He knows the kind of genius that is playing out before his eyes. He knows he is witnessing history in the making, and wants to let every sweet second in.

amazing

a historical document showing a genius at work.

McCartney was at his peak during this album. Wish we had seen John at his peak, think this was a particularly bad time in his life. A peppers documentary would have been great.

Linda Esstman was beautiful

I loved the relationship Mal had with each Beatle. Dude was a mate who was ready to help with anything. I also like the convo here with Paul

More songs??? and...

Paul was a magician. Plain and simple, he just touch a piano, bass, or guitar and the most beautiful music just poured out. To see someone so beyond talented create masterpieces on this documentary is what I imagine it must have been like to see da Vinci sketch, or Raphael paint.

who is the girl?

Incredible that there is film footage of McCartney playing this wonderful song for the first time.

Paul never seen "The Wizard of Oz"? Wow, Hopefully by now he seen it.

This Get Back docu was like opening up a treasure chest full of golden nuggets!
