who wrote if i could only win your love
If I Could Only Win Your Love "If I Could Only Win Your Love" is a song written and first performed by The Louvin Brothers, and later made a hit by American country music artist Emmylou Harris. Released in June 1975, it was the second single from her album Pieces of the Sky. The song peaked at number 4 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart.[1] It also reached number 1 on the RPM Country Tracks chart in Canada.[2]
Can't Buy Me Love While in Paris, the Beatles stayed at the five star George V hotel and had an upright piano moved into one of their suites so that song writing could continue.[4] It was here that McCartney wrote "Can't Buy Me Love". The song was written under the pressure of the success achieved by "I Want to Hold Your Hand" which had just reached number one in America. When producer George Martin first heard "Can't Buy Me Love" he felt the song needed changing: "I thought that we really needed a tag for the song's ending, and a tag for the beginning; a kind of intro. So I took the first two lines of the chorus and changed the ending, and said 'Let's just have these lines, and by altering the second phrase we can get back into the verse pretty quickly.'" And they said, "That's not a bad idea, we'll do it that way".[5] The song's verse is a twelve bar blues in structure, a formula that the Beatles seldom applied to their own material.[6]
