YELLOW SUBMARINE Â ![]()
 For Yellow Submarine, just four new songs were included on that album, and IMHO, George Harrison wrote the two best by far:  "Only a Northern Song" and "It's All Too Much".  The two Lennon/McCartney songs are "Hey Bulldog" and "All Together Now"; "Yellow Submarine" and "All You Need is Love" had been released previously.  Ringo Starr would typically have a lead vocal performance on each Beatles album – examples include "Yellow Submarine", "Act Naturally", "Boys", and the terrific Carl Perkins cover, "Honey, Don't" – but hardly any of his songwriting made it onto the Beatles' disks.   (June 2015)  |
