Beatles songs written by women?
No female writers get songwriting credits for the original material, but three have co-credits on covers. Carole King for Chains (music), Georgia Dobbins (words and music) and Janie Bradford for Money (words). These were three songs they all loved, with the first and the last having a distinct feminine sensibility. Here’s Georgia Dobbins, who sang with the Marvelettes, on her contribution to Please, Mr Postman: I was waiting for the postman to bring me a letter from this guy who was in the Navy. That’s how I came up with the lyrics. Then I made up the tune. I just hummed it over and over and changed it to the way it should be. I improvised. Very much the Lennon and McCartney approach.
