The Beatles...They are easily the biggest band ever. But after they broke up officially in 1970, the world hoped for a day they would reunite. but It seemed impossible. And yet following a decade of solo careers, for all four, Paul McCartney both solo and with Wings, Ringo Starr, John Lennon, and George Harrison there were behind-the-scenes talks of a reunion. it was actually going to HAPPEN! However, these plans were tragically cut short when John Lennon was taken from this earth. It was one of the darkest days in rock history. But then years later thanks to a near-forgotten demo tape, a reunion became a reality, as much as it could be… The surviving band members used this demo to record two new songs. Free as a Bird and Real Love. They also meant to do a third track called Now and Then, but the quality of the cassette was so poor they couldn’t finish it. Today we relive the history of all three songs including their new song, Now and Then… the poignant song has taken a band that has been broken up for over 50 years back to the top of the charts on Professor of Rock.
