Carmelo from Genova, ItalyI remember I went crazy when I first heard the fake fade out turning into a high tone two note close. As an aside, "Brother Michael" recorded some music under the name "Mike McGear." No doubt he used a pseudonymous last name to avoid comparison with Sir Paul. Rayna from Pembroke Pines, FlBrother Michael and Auntie Jin were indeed relatives of Don Paolo's (Jin, nickname for Jane was Paul's paternal aunt, and Michael was his kid bro) but I thought Brother John referred to Paul's brother-in-law rather than the Great John L.Also, Martin Luther is THE Martin Luther King NOT John. The song was covered in 1977 by Billy Paul with a list of notable African-American figures, plus Billy Paul's own departed twin sister, Suzy. B from Terrebonne, OrSister Suzy is NOT about Linda.And "Sister Suzie" is TOTALLY Linda! ("Suzie & the Red Stripes") Paul has a brother named "Michael" and he is forever bound to a fellow songwriter named "John" - Try to remember Ockham's Razor: "All things being equal, the simplest explanation is usually correct" -also- "Don't drink bong water before posting on SongFacts!" The Beatles were MAJOR Everly Brothers fans. It's amazing what some folks can conjure up! The initial info about the names in this song (top of page) is 100% correct! Phil Ackrill? REALLY? That's a bit of a stretch. Don from Sevierville, TnWhen I think of Martin Luther (without King), I think of the former German monk who founded the Lutheran Church, and was one of the original leaders in the Protestant Reformation.It also reached #3 (for 3 weeks) on the Canadian RPM Top Singles chart.Īnd on August 1st, 1976 it reached #1 (for 1 week) on Billboard's Adult Contemporary Tracks chart.
