The Drum Mystery in The Beatles’ Most Beautiful Song | Dear Prudence
Dear Prudence is one of The Beatles’ most beautiful and widely beloved songs. Within the song’s many captivating layers, however, is an odd anomaly that has been a source of dispute among Beatle fans for decades: who is really playing the drums - is it Ringo Starr, or is it Paul McCartney? As a fair warning, once I point it can’t unhear this!
**Correction: in this episode, I mistakenly mentioned that Ringo fled to Greece for his vacation. In fact, he flew to Sardinia, Italy for rest and recuperation aboard Peter Sellers’ yacht.
