"It's funny, in films like Nowhere Boy, you'll get this thing where John's mum is teaching him rock-and-roll or buying rock-and-roll records. But two of John's favourite songs, when I met him, were 'Close your eyes, put your head on my shoulder...' which is very much a Thirties/ Forties song. And the other one was 'Little White Lies': 'Doo-doo diddle-oo, the lies that you told me...' When I met John those were the kind of songs that we'd been listening to. "That attracted me to him. I thought, yeah, I love that song. And he'd say, 'I love this one, or that one.' They did have quite an influence."
Paul McCartney in Conversations with McCartney by Paul Du Noyer.
Because I'm like this, I did some digging into these songs to try and figure out which versions John might have been listening to.
Close Your Eyes: composed by Bernice Petkere in 1933
1933/1934 - covers by British crooner Al Bowlly and British bandleader Ambrose were released in the UK via Decca and Parlophone - these versions are slow-tempo, jazzy, romantic
1955 - a cover by American singer Tony Bennett with a much more 'rocking' pop sound (uncharacteristic of Bennett) was released via Philips, and it reached number #18 in the UK charts
1956 - a cover by British singer Vera Lynn was done in the nostalgic style
Conclusion - John may have heard Tony Bennett's version on the radio as a teenager, but since Paul is specifically talking about a 'Thirties/Forties' song that he considers in opposition to rock-and-roll, it seems likely John liked an earlier version. Al Bowlly records were hugely popular in UK households and could have belonged to Aunt Mimi's pre-war dance-band collection.
Little White Lies: composed by Walter Donaldson in 1930
Additional quote: “His favourite song when we were kids was Little White Lies, which was very sentimental. It was a smoochy old standard that his mum liked.” (x)
1930 - a cover by American vocal and piano duo Stuart Ross and Joe Sargent was released in the UK via Parlophone
1947 - Argentine-American singer Dick Haymes had the biggest hit version of this song in America, reaching #3 in the billboard charts. Though this version was not released in the UK, Dick Haymes was very popular in the UK, increasing likelihood of imported records (or catching it via AFN radio)
1957 - a cover by Northern Irish singer Ruby Murray was released in the UK via Columbia, though not a big hit
Conclusion: John may have heard other versions, but timing-wise it seems most likely that the Dick Haymes' version was Julia's favourite, and certainly best fits the description of "smoochy old standard."

"He was like the sun, the flowers and the moon"
THE STORY OF BOB & GEORGE IN 20 SONGS
🔊 I’d Have You Anytime – George Harrison (1970)
George and Bob had known each other since 1964, but their friendship deepened in 1968 when George and Pattie visited Bob and his family in Woodstock for Thanksgiving. Away from the spotlight, George found Bob surprisingly shy and reserved. “He seemed a little nervous and I felt a little uncomfortable […] Anyway, on the third day we got the guitars out and then things loosened up and I was saying to him, ‘write some words.’”
Keen to break down Bob’s barriers, George offered the opening lines: Let me in here / I know I’ve been here / Let me into your heart
Bob replied with the bridge/chorus: All I have is yours / All you see is mine / And I’m glad to hold you in my arms / I’d have you anytime
They recorded a rough version of the song during that visit. George later used the Harrison-Dylan composition as the opening track on All Things Must Pass, noting that he may have subconsciously needed the support of Bob Dylan as a co-writer and Eric Clapton on lead guitar to open his first post-Beatles solo album.
George Harrison & Bob Dylan - If Not For You
The final rehearsal the night before The Concert for Bangladesh (1971), amid tension and uncertainty, George and Bob run through a song they had both recorded the year prior. Though this song was ultimately dropped from the set, Bob did end up performing five songs at the concert, overcoming his nervousness to come onstage for the first time in two years at George's request.
New Video: The story of The Exciters, an early 60s group from New York, who landed a top 5 hit with "Tell Him" and were touring with The Beatles before they had even finished high school.
They became synonymous with the 60s girl group explosion (though they were in fact a mixed-gender group) and influenced many British acts like Dusty Springfield and Manfred Mann. This is their story!

Adam Ant and Paul McCartney, photographed by Linda McCartney.
Adam Ant grew up in St John's Wood and his mother Betty worked as Paul McCartney's housekeeper. He would occasionally go with her to Cavendish and would help out by walking the dog. "I used to walk his sheepdog, Martha. She was a nice dog and he was a nice man." (x)
By the late 70s/early 80s, Adam Ant was a star in his own right. He would go on to share the stage with Paul McCartney at Live Aid 1985.

"...John and I certainly took a lot of drugs together and had some berserk nights out, as poor old Dr John would tell you. We went to see him at the Troubadour and he invited John onstage to jam. John was so pissed he ended up playing the organ with his elbows. It somehow fell to me to get him offstage." - Elton John, Me (2019)

This became the legendary evening when The Beatles first met Bob Dylan and smoked pot for the first time.

One of the opening acts (Bill Black's Combo) were in need of a vocalist, so Bill English quit his job to join his fellow Memphis musicians and tour with The Beatles.

The Beatles: Get Back (2021)
John Lennon with singer Tommy Quickly, presumably at Brian Epstein's NEMS Enterprises Offices in London. Tommy was signed by Brian, but struggled to get any hits. He was offered a Lennon/McCartney song, 'Tip of My Tongue' (1963) but it was also a flop. John would later state "That's another piece of Paul's garbage. Not my garbage."
