Paul McCartney venerated

Nice little story about Abbey Rd in an obituary of Lizzie Bravo. She was a Brazilian teenager and avid Beatles fan that was so devastated when they stopped touring she persuaded her parents to give her a plane ticket to London for her sixteenth birthday. For the next two an a half years she spent all her free time outside the studio to get close to the Fab Four. These girls were known by the Beatles as the apple scuffs.
One evening they were recording a Lennon song called ‘Across the Universe’ they just couldn’t get right; they needed some female backing but it was a Sunday evening. Paul decided to check out if any of the ‘scruffs’ could “hold a high note?”. Two girls could and spent the next two hours in close contact with their idols alternatively sharing a microphone with both John and Paul. Lizzie recalls her heart beating so hard when John (her favourite) asked her to come closer to him to sing together that she was convinced the mic would pick it up!
