Describing his reaction to Lennon's assassination in 1980, McCartney said, in part, McCartney also expressed regret that a plan to alternate the Beatles' songwriting credits between "Lennon/McCartney" and "McCartney/Lennon" did not come to pass, specifically citing the song "Yesterday," written by McCartney solely.
