By The Beatles. By John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Arranged by Ray Thompson. Rock. 11 pages. RayThompsonMusic #6521907. Published by RayThompsonMusic (A0.554037)."Michelle" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles from their 1965 album Rubber Soul. It was composed principally by Paul McCartney, with the middle eight co-written with John Lennon. The song is a love ballad with part of its lyrics sung in French.
Following its inclusion on Rubber Soul, the song was released as a single in some European countries and in New Zealand, and on an EP in France, in early 1966.
It was a number 1 hit for the Beatles in Belgium, France, Norway, the Netherlands and New Zealand.
Concurrent recordings of the song by David and Jonathan and the Overlanders were similarly successful in North America and Britain, respectively.
"Michelle" won the Grammy Award for Song of the Year in 1967 and has since become one of the most widely recorded of all Beatles songs.
The main melody in the verse is taken by the oboe, the clarinet leads on the chorus, and the horn has the instrumental solos in the middle and the end.
