Paul McCartney reveals real reason he tried to hide his identity on classic song

While Paul McCartney and John Lennon are best known for their iconic songs written for The Beatles, their songwriting genius extended beyond their own band.

In the early part of the 1960s, The Beatles' manager Brian Epstein used John and Paul's talents to boost the careers of other artists under his management. This involved commissioning new songs from the duo or repurposing existing ones for artists like Cilla Black and Billy J. Kramer with his band The Dakotas.  Interestingly, John and Paul were also behind The Rolling Stones first hit I Wanna Be Your Man, and they generously gave away A World Without Love to Peter and Gordon.

Peter and Gordon reaped significant benefits from John and Paul's work.

Paul had written A World Without Love at just 16 years old. When he moved in with then-girlfriend Jane Asher in 1963, her brother Peter Asher (of Peter and Gordon) heard the song and requested it.
