Former Beatle Paul McCartney Says No Collaboration Compares To John Lennon ; Recalls Writing A Song With Michael Jackson In His Office

Music legend Paul McCartney who will re-release his "Flowers In The Dirt" album which was recorded in the 1980s, opened up in an interview about his iconic band The Beatles. During the interview, he elaborated on what it was like to work with John Lennon.

Paul McCartney who was being interviewed by the BBC claimed, the best Beatles hits were written in the bedroom. He said Lennon and he would sit opposite each other on twin beds facing one another and keep strumming ideas to each other like a ping pong match.

While The Beatles were known as the "fab four" it was Paul McCartney and Lennon who were responsible for carving out the unique sound of the band. Furthermore, he told the interviewer in terms of collaborations his best was with Lennon and that it was a fact he had come to accept.

Paul McCartney compared strumming along with Lennon in front of him to that of staring in front of a mirror. As the former Beatles member was left-handed,  Lennon was right-handed. He added since Lennon's passing it is that one memory he has held onto throughout the years.

Paul McCartney further added that while Lennon was the best, he looks forward to collaborating with other artists. He said each artist brings their own unique mix to a song, the Daily Mail reported. He said Stevie Wonder would show up late for dinner when invited as he would be running his fingers over the keyboard figuring a song. Further, he added that with Michael Jackson he sat in his office and played on his piano and a song was made up in an instant.

Furthermore, Paul McCartney said he was having fun making a new album. He said he is working with a producer who previously worked with Adele and is responsible for her success at the recent Grammys. He said his only worry was that people would claim he was courting the 'flavour of the month."

Meanwhile, aside from making a new album Paul McCartney has been in courts battling to get the rights to his music from Sony/ATV who hold the publishing rights to his classic songs, the Express reported. The songs include popular hits such as "Love Me Do"  and "All You Need Is Love."
