The Beatles: Paul McCartney's 'psychiatrist-dodging' song for Tom Jones was rejected
THE BEATLES' final album Let It Be, included a collection of wondrous songs that have gone down in history as some of the band's best work - but one of the songs was originally supposed to be given to Tom Jones, until his record label rejected it, in favour of another song.
Sir Paul McCartney worked hard to fill out The Beatles’ last album, and even used songs that he was originally supposed to give away. One of these tracks was the legendary The Long and Winding Road. The star, who claimed he wrote the song in the same style as Ray Charles, first wanted to gift the song to Sir Tom Jones - on one big condition.
McCartney was, at the time, on very good terms with Jones, and were both extremely famous around the world.
