Sir Paul's childhood

The Jack Gray story is a bit more complicated than he originally let on. First up, his real dad was an abusive dick that beat all three brothers with a belt. When I Never Dream When I'm Asleep was first presented to Hugh Martin, it was his father's name on the score, and it didn't preserve the modulations. Hugh asked around and found out that it was really a ten-year-old boy's song. He asked to meet him to hear it from the horse's mouth. He heard the modulations. - The year after, when the film of Love From Judy was on TV, Paul got his first royalties. As he said, the three songs he had a hand in paid for their TV. Around the same time, his father caught him crossdressing in his dead mother's clothes. He kicked him out of the house after he said something about Hugh wanting more songs.

As Michael (Ringo) tells it, their Dad beat their Mum to death. Hugh was sympathetic. Anyway, he ran off and took Hugh Martin and Nancy Walker's offer to live with them. That's why he didn't become another Judy Garland. Hugh refused to make him a star. Instead, he wrote a few songs and went to the same studio school as the child stars. Hugh wasn't gay. He was really with Nancy for about twenty years. Michael did their father in. The guy pretending to be their dad was an uncle. As a result, Sir Paul is the last surviving person from the studio era. Stanley Donen's dead: he's the only person who knows how they did the old musicals. - He moved back when he was 14 or 15. He met John, and the rest is history. Ringo moved to some relatives in John's neighbourhood. They really did go to school together.
