Lennon/McCartney
Lennon/McCartney is the common Signature of John Lennon and Paul McCartney on more than 200 Chanson S of the Beatles.
In the beginning, it was the order McCartney/Lennon which was employed, as one can note it on the album Please Please Me or on individual the From Me to You ; it was however decided starting from With the Beatles (1963), to reverse the order of the two names, because the consonance Lennon/McCartney appeared more commercial.
For as much, certain songs comprising this signature are at 100% of one or other - for example, Yesterday of Paul McCartney or Nowhere Man of John Lennon -, while the majority of them have an principal author (that which sings the title) helped by the other to find words or an additional musical idea. Some, finally, were really written in total collaboration.
A long time after did their separation, John Lennon and Paul McCartney deliver each one on their side to the play of the Which did what? on all these cosignées songs, and they showed overall agreement apart from very rare exceptions on what had been composed at 100% by one or the other, with 80-20, 60-40 or with 50-50.
