electricity went off. Both George Martin and Mark Lewisohn speculated that McCartney may have thought of
the song when recording began for Sgt. Pepper in December 1966 because his father turned 64 earlier that
year.

songwriting. It was released as a single on 21 February 1966, and reached #1 in Australia and Canada and #3
on the Billboard Hot 100. Lennon, McCartney and George Harrison sing the song in three-part harmony. The
