The song that brought Paul McCartney to tears for John Lennon?
Did you know that ,"Think about me every now and then, my old friend." were supposedly the last words John Lennon ever said to Paul McCartney before John was murdered in 1980, in New York.
When Paul was recording his Tug of War album in George Martin’s studios at Montserat, he also recorded a song with Carl Perkins (Get it). Carl spent eight days with Paul, Linda and George Martin. It was a great time between old friends who had shared such a legendary musical past.
Carl Perkins sang the song, which he named My Old Friend, for Linda and Paul, saying it was his gift for having him as a guest. Half way through the song, after singing "if we never meet again this side of life, in a little while, over yonder, where there's peace and quiet, my old friend, won't you think about me every now and then?" tears streamed down Paul's face and he stood up and stepped outside.
