Imagine that Paul McCartney wrote this song and then gave it to Peter and Gordon without publicly taking credit for it. That is truly amazing! Most song-writers would be glad if they could create even one such excellent pop song in their lives - and McCartney has created litterally hundreds of them - truly, he is one of the greatest song writers who ever lived - his gift for melody is phenomenal and as Lennon observed, he also writes very good lyrics. My mother actually met him on an airplane once coming back from the Caribean and she got his autograph - she says he was very gracious and polite to everyone, a real gentleman.

I agree with you, I'm 56 and I witnessed the revolutionary music of the 60's, (and all the changes that came with it) especially The Beatles. Listening to The Beatles and this kind of music motivated me to learn English. To this day, I still think the 60's was the greatest decade in music history.

One of the key factors of Paul's standard of musicianship and songwriting is that (apart from being a true musical genius) he has always been extremely critical to his own compositions. This song is the perfect example - it became #1 hit, was included in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 best songs that that shaped rock and roll, and still, Paul thought the song was not worthy of recording by his own band (the Beatles)... Not to be surprised that Paul had (and still has) a recurring nightmare - that he is on a stage, with the Beatles, or Wings, or with his recent band, and the audience starts leaving, and even "Hey Jude" can not stop the audience from leaving... Can you believe Paul is having such nightmares?!

I recently watched a McCartney interview with Howard Stern, and he intimated that he wrote a few song for Peter and Gordon while staying at the Asher house with his then girlfriend. What I don't understand is how he considered this song a throwaway song based on having no intention of doing it with the Beatles. I think this song is precisely a Beatles song considering their sound at the time.

I agree... The song wasn't "tossed to them." It ended up with the RIGHT PAIR of guys AT THAT TIME. They made a beautiful recording of a great, optimistic (I'd argue HOPEFUL) song. You can say it "SHOULD" have been a Beatles song but it's not always the case that the ORIGINAL songwriter is the fellow or girl who makes a song iconic. Trivia fact relevant to the upcoming holiday season. "The Christmas Song" aka "Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire" was co-written by Mel Torme. Torme DID record his version of his song BUT the ICONIC recordings were done by Nat King Cole who was "tossed" the song by Mel Torme. Mel did an EXCELLENT rendition of his own song a time or two but I think even he KNEW Nat King Cole was going to record the version of "The Christmas Song" that is played the most during the holiday seasons.
