October 24, 2021 Record of the Day

In 1968 Capitol Records released “Lady Madonna,” their last 45 with the Beatles. It peaked at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100. Paul McCartney said he wrote the song as a boogie woogie blues song ala Fats Domino. Ironically, Fats Domino would also record the song. The original 45 with its picture sleeve is worth up to 100.00. A promo copy, as seen here, can sell for $200.00 today.
