Album: A Hard Day's Night
Year: 1964
Written by: Lennon & McCartney
In February 1964, The Beatles conquered America when they made their debut appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, and they instantly became international superstars. Before going on tour throughout The United States, Great Britain, Europe, and Australia, they filmed their first movie, which was called A Hard Day's Night. The movie was a huge success and it remains very popular almost 50 years after it was released. This video is a clip from the movie.
Along with playing the harmonica, John does all the vocals for this lively love song. (Although Paul sings along in the video, he is just miming.) George contributes one of his signature guitar solos in the break, playing his iconic 12-string Rickenbacker guitar. The blond woman in this clip is Pattie Boyd, a 20 year-old model who was hired to be in the movie and who, two years later, would become George's first wife.
