The Beatles song that Paul McCartney recorded practically alone in 1968

Although the Beatles were known for their collective work, there were times when one member took on practically all functions within the studio. One of the most famous cases happened in 1968 with "Why Don't We Do It in the Road?", featured on the so-called "White Album". The recording was conducted almost entirely by Paul McCartney, who recorded vocals, piano, bass and other elements of the song without the effective participation of John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. The decision generated some discomfort within the band, since at that time relationships between the members were increasingly frayed. Even so, McCartney believed that the song's simplicity allowed for a direct and quick approach. The result was one of the most peculiar tracks on the album, standing out for its minimalism and raw energy. The episode also symbolizes the moment when the Beatles began to work more and more as individuals rather than as a fully integrated creative unit.
