​Roy Orbision

Nov 26, 2022: Far Out Magazine: ​The Beatles classic inspired by Roy Orbison and Bing Crosby
​“‘Please Please Me’ is my song completely,” John affirmed in an interview with Playboy in 1980. “It was my attempt at writing a Roy Orbison song, would you believe it? I wrote it in the bedroom in my house at Menlove Avenue, which was my auntie’s place”.
“I remember the day I wrote it; I heard Roy Orbison doing ‘Only the Lonely’ or something. And I was also always intrigued by the words to a Bing Crosby song that went, ‘Please lend a little ear to my pleas’. The double use of the word ‘please’. So it was a combination of Bing Crosby and Roy Orbison.”
