Nov. 23, 1964 - On sale today is “I Feel Fine,” a new single by the Beatles. The B-side is “She’s a Woman.”
“I Feel Fine” was written by John Lennon but is credited to the Lennon-McCartney partnership. Lennon wrote the song’s guitar riff — which begins after a brief note of guitar feedback — while the Beatles were in the studio recording “Eight Days a Week” last month. The riff was influenced by a riff in “Watch Your Step,” a 1961 song written and performed by Bobby Parker and covered by the Beatles in concerts in 1961 and 1962.
