Paul McCartney vs The Beatles: The Day He Took Legal Action

In 1970 the Beatles no longer existed as a band. Ringo, Paul, George and John had released their solo albums and it seemed that the four would not get back together for a long time, but the band was dragging financial and commercial problems that had not been fully resolved since the death of Brian Epstein. And in a 3-on-1 dispute to choose a new manager and solve apple's problems, Paul McCartney had to sue his bandmates. This is the story.

Paul had no other alternative than to have to sue the other 3. As time went on the other three had a fall out with Klein also. Thank God for Mick Jagger for giving Paul the heads up.

Paul was totally correct in what he did.
Klein would have taken everything that The Beatles had worked so hard for..
John admitted that Paul was right in the action he took against his friends in The Beatles...
I'm so glad that John and Paul made up and were friends again before John was so cruelly taken from us...😢
And In The End The Love You Take Is Equal To The Love You Make.... ❤

Paul was willing to compromise and have it not be Eastman. He recognized the optics of that as looking like nepotism or whatever. He was only adamant that it could not be Klein. The other three were stubborn—with John and George full of contempt, and Ringo willing to go along with it. Ultimately, Paul was proven right.

John and George could be super hostile despite the way they’re made into saints now. Paul was more decent and deferential than he’s ever given credit for. People resent him for being controlling, but he’s the only reason we got Sgt. Pepper or any albums after it.

Paul understood more than the other Beatles how to deal with legal problems. To say any more about that, would be presumptive and beyond my scope.

00:07 - must have hurt for John to admit Paul was right and he and the others were wrong. I understand he didn't want to "go into the details of it"...

Paul was trying to save the Beatles and the other 3 wouldn’t believe him. Allen Klein ripped off the best band ever.

[geoffclarke]

I can understand why the other 3 were reluctant to be managed by Paul's father in law but since Macca was so opposed to Klein I would have thought that they could have found someone else. Klein was vile, didn't give a shit about his clients only enriching himself so Paul was correct in not having anything to do with him and he had no option but to sue the other 3.

McCartney bought the Beatles song catalogue in 2017. And in the end, the love he forsook, was equal to the money they all took.

What a fantastic video have a wonderful day ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊

Alan Klein was about to screw overThe Beatles, as Stan Polley successfully screwed over Badfinger. The lawsuit was justified.

[UnderTheCovers]

Nothing is Real does a good job of explaining much of the nuance that was involved in the Allen Klien story. It seems that many of the same people who thought it absurd to use Yoko as a scapegoat for the breakup of the Beatles now like to believe Klien as the scapegoat.

Can I get a yellow submarine album video bc the story is rlly interesting 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
The breakup was messy and it didn’t help that there was already fractions in the band starting in the get back sessions Plus also Brian’s death still had a looming shadow over the band

[reneestewart]

Boy you just stepped right over the fact that John several months before Paul made that statement had quit the band. You know I'm 74 and I do have to say it's mind blowing to me how history is in the short few years of the Beatles which was a long time I mean it's what 60 years now that being said how many of the facts are misconstrued. I've read a few books but every one of them are biased and one way or another. You know the interesting thing is you can go down the rabbit hole with the Beatles and hear these questions answered in their own mouth. Being interviewed various ways. That's why I find it interesting that Youtubers get so mini facts wrong

[syncue]

Paul was right in a terrible situation

[balkandancer]

Didn't Michael Jackson end up with the rights to the Beatles early music, if so the Beatles still lost. Music industry, what a rip off for the artist who does all the work.

[nickscubes]

That last George song… can anyone remember the name?

[lonewave]

John and George could write good music but that was it. They were dumb as rocks when it came to leading the group and business. Even McCartney wasn't all that great about business, but he was a good judgement of character!

[VideoByPatrick]

You left out the Northern Songs debacle where Paul bought more shares behind John's back; and foolishly refused to buy their early song rights ! That was the beginning of John not trusting Paul's money decisions.

Paul the Legend of the beatles. Got more albums more 💰🤑💲biggest hits . Bless 🙌 Paul McCartney

You know if back in 1964 if they would have asked the Beatles: "Which one of you will sue the others in the future?" they would have all said Paul.
