It's on "Rubber Soul", released in 1965.

I'm sure that this was Paul's composition. He always composed sirup love
songs in Beatles, and in his solo career later on. I never liked him
much (no flames please!) I should pick "Norwegian Wood" or "Girl" from
the same album as my favourites instead (even "Nowhere Man" is better
than silly love songs like "Michelle").

Of course, it's my personal taste, including the fact that I haven't been
listening to them for many years. IMO, John's compositions always have some
mature, fiery feeling in them, not some simple teenager puppy love.
Check out e.g., "Norwegian Wood", "Lucy In The Sky With Diamond", "She's
So Heavy", "Strawberry Fields Forever", "Revolution", "Yer Blues",
"Because", "Penny Lane" etc. Of course, the songwriting credit was given to
both Paul and John (due to their early commitment in this matter), but to my
knowledge, many of songs were indeed written individually, especially towards
the end of the Beatles.

Anyway, what did John contribute to "Michelle"? I'm curious to know!

BTW, does anyone of you like their stuff in the mid- and late-60's,
starting from "Sgt. Pepper's"? I think their creative peak was reached
with "Magical Mystery Tour"/"White Album"/"Abbey Road" trilogy (apart
from the music for the cartoon "Yellow Submarine"). "Let It Be" was
just the swansong for a band just before its grandiose collapse.

I would like to hear your critique! Come on, speak up! :-)
