4 Solo Fab Four Songs That Could've Been on a Beatles Album
The Fab Four released countless hits throughout the 1960s, but each individual member’s solo works are nothing to sneeze at. A few of those solo tracks would have been perfect under The Beatles’ name, had another album came to be. Let’s take a gander at four solo songs from Beatles members that could have easily been on a Fab Four record!
5 of the Beatles’ Least Popular Songs
1. “Isn’t It A Pity” by George Harrison
George Harrison emerged from The Beatles’ breakup a little wet behind the ears as a songwriter, though he did have some experience. However, without the shadow of the two main songwriters of the Fab Four hiding him, he was really able to flourish as a solo musician. “Isn’t It A Pity” would have made an excellent Beatles single; Harrison’s vocals are on another level here.
2. “Gimme Some Truth” by John Lennon
This wouldn’t be a proper list without at least one solo John Lennon track. There are plenty to choose from that would have done well on a Beatles record. However, we’re particularly fond of “Gimme Some Truth”.
This is one of Lennon’s catchiest solo efforts, with enough of a pop vibe that would have made it a standout track on a Beatles album. “Gimme Some Truth” is packed with controversial lyrics and some of Lennon’s best vocals. McCartney allegedly helped write this tune, too, so it’s basically a Beatles song already.
