Good Day Sunshine by The Beatles – ****

First released: 1966

McCartney was at his compositional peak in 1966. Never before or since has he composed so many EXCELLENT tunes in one short period of time that featured equally as many diverse styles, tempos, and lyrics. All you have to look at is "Got to Get You Into My Life", "For No One", "Here, There and Everywhere", "Paperback Writer", to see what I mean. Originally this was on "Revolver". One of the songs McCartney chose to remake in an inferior version for "Give My Regards to Broad Street" in 1984. A live version by Paul appeared on the b-side of the "Birthday" CD single in 1990.
