That Sixties Music - The 1958 McCARTNEY SONG THAT NOBODY WANTED - Not Even The Beatles

I've always loved this song, and finding out McCartney wrote it made the story almost legendary. The fact it was a hit goes to show that not all music critics are right.

Nice work on this one. Just goes to show that even McCartney’s self deemed B list material was more top shelf than many other artist’s A list material. It’s amazing how easy it became for him to make it flow like water out of a tap…

I’m 77 years old and grew up in the Philippines. I’ve always loved Peter and Gordon and my favorite song A world without love!

Wow! So glad I found this! I am also 77 (someone else mentioned their age) and grew up with the Beatles and the “British Invasion”. I swear my friend had the first Beatle record in America. His aunt in the UK sent him a 45 with four songs on it saying, “These are the hottest musicians in Europe.” Back in the 60’s we had no idea who collaborated with who so your insight makes those memories even more precious! Thank you, Gianni❤

I'm sitting there with my youngest daughter (25 years old) and we're watching that "Get Back" documentary... the episode where Paul McCartney was writing the song "The Long And Winding Road" in the studio with the cameras rolling. He starts off with the first verse written, and he's starting to flesh out the second verse singing "The wild and windy night...something something, something something..." By the end of that episode he's got the song fully done and we're both floored. I look over and she's actually crying. She says "I can't believe I'm sitting here literally watching him create this beautiful masterpiece." The man is a genius.

One of my favorites! For a young me, often bullied by my peers, it spoke my heart and still makes me weep, recalling the pain of my youth 💔❤️

I've always loved "A World Without Love" & Peter & Gordon: I was 10 & 1/2 when it came out Feb. 24th, 1964❣

Have loved that song since I was 10 in 1964. Those were exciting times!🎉❤

Fascinating story which again demonstrates the pure musical genius of Paul! Thanks GT for keeping the music alive and well! 👍👍📀📀

A catchy tune. I wish I could have written songs like that at 16.

It goes to show how immensely talented Paul is. Even a little song, quickly written is enough to propel other people’s careers to number 1 when they couldn’t do it themselves! Mind blowing.

Old guy here, loved the music of that time period. My mom worked in a Woolworth and I recall the Beatles bobble heads on display. She's 101 and I reminded her of the bobble heads and wished we'd bought the whole display and assured our early retirements.

Guitar Trooper has some of the very best content about my generation’s music on YouTube and possibly in the entire world. I’m astounded when any of my musician friends have never heard of him. GT is the ultimate “Deep Dive” into American music history.

16 year old and writing a classic like world without love what more can I say but than you paul for the music

I was born in '58. I feel so young!

I love surprises in rock and roll. Thanks!

I had the privilege to see Peter and Jeremy in concert in No. Cal a few months ago. What a show!!!

Loving this ..I'm 77 pretty soon 1 N life is getting better...

Thanks for expressing Our interest in 60s music. We were in ou teens then growing up in the Midwest USA and really enjoyed the British Sound!🌍🌎🌎🎼🎵🎶🎸‼️‼️

I loved this song as a kid in the 60's.
