Overview
Sir Paul McCartney has revealed that The Rolling Stones envied The Beatles because all four members could sing.
In an interview with the Radio Times, Sir Paul said Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards told him the band used to refer to The Beatles as the “four-headed monster”.
“The four of us were unusual,” he said. “I talked to Keith Richards recently… well, a couple of years ago, and his take on it was: 'Man, you were lucky, you guys, you had four lead singers,' whereas the Rolling Stones only had one.
“I could sing, John could sing, George could sing and Ringo did numbers that he could sing. So it wasn’t just the front man and the back-up band.”
He added: “We were an entity. Mick used to call us the Four-headed Monster. We would show up at places all dressed the same.”
Meanwhile, Ringo Starr has said The Beatles were “lucky” that he joined the group.
