"The song ['Lady Madonna'] seemed to be in his head the entire day [on the set of Head]. He would often sing or hum it to himself during brief stops and at one point he picked up a guitar and Davy joined him as they sang the song all the way through. Peterâs voice actually sounded better than Davyâs and I wondered why he didnât sing like that more on the records.â - article by Carol Deck, Flip, August 1968 (read more in an older post)
Q: âWhatâs the best record you ever heard? The best song? Why?â
Peter Tork: âAlbum, Sergeant Pepper, probably. Of course, as a Beatles fan, I was ready for every new recording that they put out. Plus the buzz was (cuz) Sgt. Pepper was exceptional, even for the Fab Lads. I remember driving to David Crosbyâs house â he had a copy and the great stereo, donât cha know, and on the way I heard Fixing A Hole on the radio. Even without knowing in advance that it was Paul, I remember thinking how strong a cut it was; only to discover it wasnât even the strongest cut on the album. Then to sit down in front of the stereo and put the album on, âŚwell! It was one of the great experiences of art I ever hope to have. Song â Lady Madonna. It was just about the beat and the music; sort of like What A Fool Believes, where thereâs just that great combination of beat, melody and instruments.â - Beachwood Confidential Newsletter (1995)
âI would count Ringo as a friend of mine, not a profoundly close friend, but Iâd say we were friends and friendly. I believe I was friends with George Harrison. John and Paul, you know, they were friendly to us, and Micky counts Paul as a friend, but I donât, I havenât spent any time â I did meet him and we had a moment or two together, it was fun and it was great to meet him and hang out. Lovely to hang out with John, but we didnât find our paths crossing a lot.â - Peter Tork, RNZ (2016)
