McCartney Times

The Beatles are perhaps one of the most markable names in the music industry, having a lengthy and successful career that is undoubtedly still recognized and honored. The band’s most recent activity since their ultimate split in 1974 is their last song, “Now and Then.” Released in early November of this year, the group’s last song is the product of the entire band, having sat in the demos since the 1970’s. “Now and Then” was written and sung by John Lennon, worked on by Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and George Harrison, and now over four decades later was completed and released by the band’s remaining members, Paul and Ringo. The original demo of the song was recorded by John Lennon on his piano in his home, nestled in New York City, in the 1970s. Following his death, his widow, Yoko Ono, gave three demos, including “Now and Then,” to the remaining band members to honor Lennons life and legacy. The other two demos were polished and released in the late 1990’s in accordance with The Beatles Anthology, the documentary series on the Beatles’ career. The other song that Lennon recorded, titled “Now and Then” as we know it presently, was tucked away to be later rediscovered by the band’s remaining members.
