“I Will”

Another tune from the White Album that sounds so simple and pleasant, yet it took Paul, Ringo and John 67 takes to get it right. George wasn’t on the track, which ended up using take 65. Pretty sure Paul wrote it for his new love interest, Linda Eastman. Such a gorgeous song. McCartney played the 12-string acoustic with John and Ringo providing various percussion parts. The solo on “My Best Friend’s Girl” by the Cars sounds suspiciously like the guitar part on this one.

MY BEST FRIEND'S GIRL was a rewrite of the 1963 instrumental hit WILD WEEKEND by The Rockin' Rebels, as was John Fogerty's 1985 hit ROCK AND ROLL GIRLS.
