Mr Nice GuyTell Me Why - The Beatles

The Fab Four
In fact, folk lore has it, the quinessential pop ditty was penned in New York City while the group was there to appear on the Ed Sullivan Show.
Often described as a girl-group song with doo-wop chords and a blues delivery, it's unappreciated, being one of the few songs not selected from the LP for use as a US single (though it was included on the US version of AHDN along with eight other singles tracks, more than likely because it's featured in the film).
Tell Me Why" was one of the quicker AHDN songs committed to vinyl, being completed in eight takes - and an extra take for the complex harmony overdubs - at the third session for the album, just after work was completed on "And I Love Her" and just before work began on "If I Fell."
