Did Jane Asher write the Beatle's songs. As a woman was she unable to take the credit for the master works and may she have allowed the duo of Lennon and McCartney to bathe in the limelight of her genius. From 1963 to 1968 Jane Asher was romantically involved with Paul McCartney and several of the masterpieces he is credited with writing, through the typical Lennon McCartney arrangement, were wrote in the music room of her family house. It's just a short jump from that piece of information to assume inaccurately that Jane Asher wrote the bulk of the Beatles masterpieces between 1963 and 1969.

John Lennon lived with his Aunt in middle class circumstances in Liverpool. McCartney's father was a talented amateur musician. Neither Lennon or McCartney attended University and neither seem to have the background to write the music usually credited to them.

Asher's parents were a physician, and her Mother a music teacher. Both are members of the British aristocracy and passed their blue blood on to their daughter Jane. True they also passed it on to their son Peter Asher of Peter and Gordon sometimes erroneously credited with writing the Beatles songs. McCartney often gave cast off songs to Peter Asher which became hits worldwide for Peter and Gordon. Why?

Jane Asher is traditionally credited with being a Muse to McCartney and she is credited with inspiring many of the songs McCartney wrote and then magnanimously shared the credit with John Lennon.

It's probably false and foolish to assume the Beatle's didn't write their songs. Especially since many credible witnesses say they did.

If two lads from modest backgrounds in Liverpool in the 1960's without University education or British blue blood did in fact write their masterpieces; is it too much of a stretch to assume Shakespeare wrote his own plays, instead of Marlowe, or to assume that Chaucer really wrote the Canterbury tales.

Taylor Swift, a contemporary American songwriter blatantly writes songs about her lovers and ex lovers. A more traditional and demur Jane Asher didn't. Score up another one for British sensibilities. Jane Asher bakes cakes and shares with the world how to do so. Taylor Swift is the Savoy truffle de jour.
