He referred to producer Phil Spector’s finished product as “a syrupy load of old bullshit.” Since the release of Get Back, Johns has been in the spotlight not only for his on-screen contributions to the Beatles’ final studio album, but also for his fashion sense during its creation. He was always around and thus is seen throughout Get Back, most notably fetching tea during the infamous rooftop scene and happily banging away during “Maxwell’s Silver Hammer.” On Jan. 5, 1976, six years after the band fell apart, Evans was shot and killed by Los Angeles police at the age of 40. Pattie Harrison George’s first wife, whom he met on the set of A Hard Day’s Night, was the inspiration for the band’s songs “Something” and “I Need You.” Following her 1977 divorce from the “quiet Beatle,” Pattie went on to have a publicly tumultuous marriage with another British rock musician, Harrison’s close friend Eric Clapton. Dennis O’Dell The Apple Corps director is one of the more obscure figures attached to the Beatles, probably best known for his name association with “Denis O’Bell,” a character referenced in the band’s song “You Know My Name ” on “Let It Be,” or the recent revelation that he wanted to make a Lord of the Rings film starring the band.
