"Woman" #14 4/2/1966

Peter and Gordon were recipients of several Lennon-McCartney songs, as Peter's sister Jane was Paul's girlfriend at the time. Paul wanted to see if he could come up with a hit record without trading on his fame, so the writing credit here was under the pseudonym of Bernard Webb. It didn't take long for people to figure out the ruse. This was another instance of a British record doing better in America than it did over there. Definitely not the same as the John Lennon song of the same title.
