Little Child - Episode 32

Little Child - Episode 32

Was "Little Child" ever meant to be sung by John Lennon? Originally intended as a showcase for Ringo Starr, the song took a different path when it proved a poor fit for his vocal range. In this episode, Peter and Kenyon explore how Lennon and McCartney crafted this high-energy track for With the Beatles, blending pounding piano, relentless harmonica, and a melody pulled from an unexpected Disney film. The hosts dive into the song’s chaotic recording process, which spanned multiple sessions and overdubs—unusual for the Beatles at the time. They also examine why Little Child feels unlike a typical Beatles track, from its bluesy aggression to its raw, almost punk-like intensity. Is it a hidden gem or just a throwaway rock and roll workout? Peter and Kenyon break down this frenetic, often-overlooked track, uncovering its unexpected influences and its place in the Beatles’ evolving sound.
