Paul: "We nearly always went up to his little music room that heโd had built at the top of the house, Daddyโs room, where we would get away from it all. I like to get away from people to songwrite, I donโt like to do it in front of people. Itโs like sex for me, I was never an orgy man. So John and I would sit down and by then it might be one or two o'clock, and by four or five o'clock weโd be done".

โIn the spring of 1974, Paul stayed at the Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles. There he met Lennon and the two ended up at the studio for a jam session. Soon after that, McCartney wrote the track Call Me Back Again on electric piano, reportedly he intended it as an invocation to his friend, and at first he even thought to make that clear in the lyrics. During the recordings, Paul apparently changed his mind, but rumours say that he mentioned Johnโs name in some of the takes.โ

"He was a giant, a great, great soul, with all the humanity, all the wit and humour, all the wisdom, the spirituality, the common sense of a man and compassion for people. He inspired love and had the strength of a hundred men. He was like the sun, the flowers and the moon and we will miss him enormously. The world is a profoundly emptier place without him."
โBob Dylan about George Harrison.
