S1 E11: Phil Spector & Controversial Beatles Production and an Update On Alon Ohel
In this episode of Storied, songwriter John sits down with host Benji Rosenzweig for a deep dive into the creative genius, collaboration, and legacy of The Beatles. From early piano influences and discovering the iconic black Beatles songbook to the enduring impact of McCartney’s melodies, Lennon’s edge, and George Harrison’s quiet brilliance, this conversation explores why the band’s music continues to resonate across generations.
John and Benji discuss the artistic evolution from early pop hits to the experimental late-era albums, the famous Lennon–McCartney dynamic, and how friendly competition elevated their songwriting. They unpack stories of “Yesterday,” “Hey Jude,” and the meaningful editorial give-and-take that shaped some of the greatest songs ever written.
