McCartney Times

An instrumental addition made all the difference to Abbey Road track I Want You (She’s So Heavy) according to John Lennon.The Beatles‘ Abbey Road album was given the track-by-track treatment by Lennon over a series of interviews. When speaking on I Want You (She’s So Heavy), Lennon suggested it was a Moog synthesiser that made all the difference. Lennon would single out his own works as some of the best on the album, and rightly so. But he would also praise Ringo Starr and George Harrison‘s contributions to the album. Paul McCartney didn’t get off as nicely, with Lennon suggesting the Wings frontman’s voice would ruin one of the more interersting pieces of work. While he would call Maxwell’s Silver Hammer a “typical” song by McCartney, Lennon reserved his harshest words for Oh! Darling.Speaking of the song in an interview given in 1980, Lennon would suggest the problem with Oh! Darling is not the instrumental work, but McCartney’s voice. He said: “Oh! Darling’ was a great one of Paul’s that he didn’t sing too well. I always thought I could have done it better – it was more my style than his. He wrote it, so what the hell, he’s going to sing it.”
