The
Beatles-Blackbird cover
"Blackbird" is a Beatles
song from double-disc album
The Beatles (also known as The White Album). Blackbird was written by
Paul McCartney, but credited as usual to
Lennon/McCartney.
There are two conflicting stories surrounding the creation of 'Blackbird'. One story simply says that Paul woke up early one morning in Rishikesh to hear a blackbird singing, picked up his guitar to transcribe the bird
song and came up with an album track..
One night in the summer of 1968, Paul serenaded the fans gathered outside his home with an
acoustic version of 'Blackbird'. Margo Bird, a former Apple Scruff (the term for the group of fans who used to congregate outside the Apple offices in Savile Row) remembers: "I think he had a young lady round, Francie Schuartz. We'd been hanging around outside and it was obvious she wasn't going to be leaving. He had a music room right at the top of the house and he opened the sash window, sat on the edge and played it to us. It was the early hours of the morning."
Paul often cites 'Blackbird' as evidence that the best of his songs come spontaneously, when words and music tumble out as if they had come into being without conscious effort on his behalf.
