If you were lucky enough to get a copy of the Beatles I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND single (on a 45-vinyl disk in 1963) you could have flipped it over and listened to THIS BOY as the “B-side”. THIS BOY is a stunning early Beatle classic ballad, rich in blended harmonies. It was written by John Lennon, inspired by Motown and girl groups, recorded in October 1963, and released in November 1963. It tells the timeless story of another guy taking your love away and how much you want your love back. It is Titled THIS BOY, but the story starts with THAT BOY – another John Lennon writing brilliance of drawing you into the story and making the song feel about you.
