Inspiration and background
Researched recording background
McCartney wrote this brass-colored Motown homage for Revolver. The Beatles recording first appeared in 1966, while its US single release followed in 1976 alongside the Rock 'n' Roll Music compilation. That later single campaign explains the decade-wide gap between the original recording year and its later chart appearance.
Evidence scope: Song-specific recording and release history from the official artist catalog; no private motivation inferred.
