Cover art for My Dark Hour lyrics by Steve Miller Band

This song was written by Paul McCartney, recorded May 9, 1969 by McCartney and the Steve Miller Band, a late night session after Paul had had a fierce argument with the other three Beatles over signing papers making Allen Klein their manager. (The others wanted the papers signed; Paul did not, having grave doubts as to Klein’s honesty and integrity. Paul was quite right to feel that way, as was seen to be the case in (then) future years.)
