The Beatles Overruled George Martin When George Harrison Made a Change to 'She Loves You'
George Martin wanted to scrap George Harrison’s last-minute addition to The Beatles' song “She Loves You” until the rest of the band overruled the producer.Not every Beatles song was a massive success. The band gave up on one tune when they couldn’t sing it. Still, the misses were few and far between. If George Martin had his way, he would have shelved “She Loves You” because of George Harrison’s last-second change. The Beatles overruled Martin and scored one of their biggest hits.
The Beatles had a No. 1 hit in England with “From Me to You” in April 1963, but they weren’t yet the dominant force they became after they recorded “She Loves You” in July of that year. They were still relative upstarts. Martin insisted the band ditch Harrison’s nearly imperceptible addition to “She Loves You.”
