Michelle by The Beatles – ****

First released: 1965

This kind of is like "Yesterday, Part Two", as it sounds very similar, yet very unique. Paul was really composing some great stuff in 1965-1966 after a bit of a slump in 1964. It’s from "Rubber Soul" and is again one of those songs that probably should have been a single. As it was, it was included in the "1962-1966" compilation because of this potential single status. Paul performs a live version for 1993’s "Paul is Live" and again on and 2003's "Back in the World". It’s nice that Paul performed a personal live version for Michelle Obama in 2010.
