I was reminded by my friend Eddie Deezen that the Beatles song “Her Majesty” was recorded on this day- July 2, 1969.
Eddie posted:
“Her Majesty” was written by Paul McCartney. It was sung entirely by Paul, with no other Beatles featured. This makes Paul the only Beatle to record two songs completely alone, the other being his classic song “Yesterday” in 1965.
“Her Majesty” is also the shortest song ever released by The Beatles. It clocks in at just 23 seconds. It took Paul just three takes to record it.
As “Her Majesty” is the final song on the album “Abbey Road”, it is, technically, the last song on the last Beatles album.
I'm just a guy who likes the classics. I love Old Time Radio Shows. I love Classic TV. I love Classic Movies. I love songs from the "Great American Songbook". I dig songs from the first decade of Rock and Roll. Don't get me wrong, I am not opposed to newer things. My musical taste ranges from Classical to Classic Rock and Country to Rap. I love a good book and am always looking for something to read. I tend to lean toward historical fiction, biographies, mysteries, and more.
I have always believed that our past (and the things we've experienced in it) make us who we are today. That being said, after reading through some old My Space blogs (yeah, that's about how long it's been since I blogged regularly), I decided that I should once again write. Welcome to my blog. I hope you find it interesting, thought provoking, and entertaining in some way.
