Excerpt from the movie, "The Beatles First Visit to the US"

When reminiscing 'back in the day', many Beatle fans associate John Lennon and Paul McCartney as the partners and geniouses behind the Beatles. Seldom do you ever hear, "Man, Ringo and Paul were such good friends!" Thats just the way it was and has been. The fact that John and Paul wrote the most music together basically gave people the idea that there were only two members of the Beatles and the rest were just...(like Mary Ann) the rest. But contrare to popular belief, there were 4 members of the Beatles and they were all best friends. It was not two groups of John and Paul, then Ringo and George. Even in VH1's 'What if the Beatles got back together' movie called "Two of Us", the movie focused on John and Paul reuniting and settling their differences. There was nearly any mention of the other two guys.
John and George were great buds. Their relationship started off a little slow since George was three years younger. But as time perspired, they were just as close as Paul and John. After the Beatles broke up, tension aroused with the lads, especially John. Nonetheless, George still played guitar on John's solo album, "Imagine". And when John tragically passed away in 1980, the first Beatle to step in was George. He wrote the single, "All Those Years Ago", a sad but inspired song about how he felt about John. One of the lines being: "I always looked up to you."
