They sat side by side at the piano and hammered out the first version anyone had ever heard of this brand new song they had just finished called I Want to Hold Your Hand.
Amazement.
I mean, I thought, am I losing my mind or is this one of the best songs I've ever heard in my life?
Or possibly both.
But I was thrilled and amazed.
And they looked at me for some kind of reaction.
And I said, I think that's amazing.
And perhaps the biggest giveaway is the fact that I immediately asked them if they could play it again.
And perhaps the second giveaway is the fact that they were delighted to play it again.
I think they knew that they'd written something special.
Whether they had in mind the fact that it was going to change the whole attitude of the whole world, starting with America, that everyone was going to become a Beatle fan when they heard I Want to Hold Your Hand, that that was the magic track that set off the American Beatlemania epidemic.
I don't know, but that's what it turned out to be.
That's a good point.
Yes, that's correct.
I'm very bad at dates, as I told you, but yes, that certainly would be true.
It's a good question.
I don't really know I learned anything about becoming famous and certainly nobody was famous in a way that compared to the Beatles in any sense.
But certainly when we got to America, there's no question the template for the famous British Invasion member had been sort of set by the Beatles and that all the girls who chased you around the streets and stuff, which they did.
were following what they'd seen in the Beatles movie and how they knew everyone reacted to the Beatles.
The screaming reached fever pitch.
