JOB: Pretty boy for the early Beatles
DESCRIPTION: The Beatles were a phenomenon - going from cutesy rock like "I wanna hold your hand" to super-freaky drug-enduced nonsense like "Yellow Submarine" and "the Walrus".
However, there was an early element to them that the record companies didn't want you to see - Paul McCartney was actually a late addition to the Beatles - that's right, he replaced Mr. T.
"We weren't sure Mr. T was good for our image at the time - however, fair play to him, he's managed to maintain very much the same look for, what is it now, about 10 thousand years? Dear me. Even Richard Branson couldn't do that, and he's so good to his mother. Both Branson AND Mr. T," said scouse-boy drummer Ringo Starr, "nice lads. Very nice lads. However, Paul (McCartney) came along, and he could actually play an instrument, and didn't need roadies to carry his masses of gold."
There were only 2 Beatle songs written by Mr. T, one that was adapted to be Revolution, and one that later became the A-Team theme tune.
