The Beatles - With A Little Help From My Friends

The Beatles - With A Little Help From My Friends 1967 “With a Little Help from My Friends“ (originally titled “A Little Help from My Friends“) is a song written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, released on The Beatles album Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band in 1967. The song was written for and sung by The Beatles’ drummer Ringo Starr as the character “Billy Shears“; it is ranked #304 on Rolling Stone’s list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. McCartney and Starr performed this song for the first time together at the David Lynch Foundation Benefit Concert in the Radio City Music Hall, New York on 4 April 2009.[1] Lennon and McCartney finished writing this song in mid-March 1967[2], written specifically as Starr’s track for the album. It was briefly called Bad Finger Boogie (later the inspiration for the band name Badfinger[3]), supposedly because Lennon composed the melody on a piano using his middle finger after having hurt his forefinger;
