Well the lone outlier I see here is #7 – “I Go To Pieces”, WRITTEN BY Del Shannon. All the other songs listed are the compositions of John Lennon & Paul McCarthy.The songs recorded by them on the list are #’s (giving my fingers a rest here!) 1, 2, 9, & 10.
Peter & Gordon are responsible for #’s 3, 6, 7, & 8.
Billy Joe Krammer & The Dakotas recorded songs 4, & 5.
I guess another outlier is Del Shannon himself because I believe he’s the only Non-Brit in this flurry of song writers & recording artists.
As an aside (& this probably isn’t news to you) but with the release of the Jackson docu. & all the great box sets everywhere there id highly visible & upticked second & third etc. GUESSING & ARGUMENT re. Who “REALLY WROTE WHAT” in Beatle Land.
Oh … the replacement song allegedly written by John & Paul …. my entry would be “Don’t Let Me Down”; written by John & Paul. I would like to include “Happy Christmas (War is Over) by John & Yoko, but Yoko was not a Beatle; a whole long & winding story for another time!
MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY 2022!….. wood
All songs. Written by. Lennon. McCartney. Except. I go to. Pieces. Written by. Del. Shannon. All songs recorded. By. Peter. And. Gordon, billy. J. Kramer Beatles.
Jim beats ME! I knew that but slow on the draw. haha
I’ll take a stab at this. I think all are Lennon-Maccartney written songs except #7. I’ll replace with Love me do.
Beatles did 1,2,9,10 and my replacement for 7
Peter & Gordon did 3,6,7,8
BJ Kramer did 4 and 5
Best I can do
Well I think Clark pretty much nailed it. Unless you wanted to make a distinction between the songs credited to both John and Paul, and just one or the other.
Lennon wrote “Tell Me Why” and McCartney wrote “A World Without Love”. I do see how “I Go To Pieces” feels like a Beatles song.
Hey Clark
“Yeah, Yeah, YEAH Clark, you nailed it! And here’s the question for you and Jim Gorman, who wrote “ I go to pieces” ?
Del Shannon
