Love it when Paul says: "John Lennon, you made it. Tonight you're in the rock and roll hall of fame. God Bless Ya."

Truth is no one will understand the relationship between John and Paul like John and Paul.

I got emotional when he said,"This letter comes with love from your friend Paul, John Lennon you made it,tonight you are in the rock and roll hall of fame,God bless you."

John and Paul were soulmates of a sort. The relationship they had was spectacular. It’s heartbreaking to listen to the emotion in a grown man’s voice as he speaks to his best friend - as he tries to hold it together.

He’s usually an easier talker. You can feel Paul holding back a continent of emotion. Now that’s love.

He was talking to John...not to the audience....keep that in mind.

Paul was always the stoic one in the group. To see him so uneasy and struggling to fight back the emotions he must've been feeling shows the love he still felt for John. Beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time.

That final "John Lennon, you made it. Tonight you're in the rock and roll hall of fame." nearly gets me choked up, you can tell he's close to crying there.

Thank God it was Paul who inducted him not Yoko

When he said, "Oh boy," I knew he was trying not to cry, so naturally I lost it.

You can tell he loved him like a brother. His words are inspiring. They changed the world together. Thanks for the music. It inspires us all everyday.

Paul McCartney is one of those people that you'd pay to listen to talk about furniture. The man just has presence.

They both lost their mothers when they were young. They were both crazy talented and determined. Look what we got out of it. Timeless music, such a gift for our heart and souls forever

Lost his Mum. Lost his best friends. Lost his wife. This man is a true inspiration :)

This made me cry. It's like hearing a brother doing a eulogy about his beloved brother who passed away.

Beautiful and sad all at the same time. I still can't get my head around how we lost John Lennon all those years ago. Paul and John--two of the greatest song writers and performers of all time.

It cracks me up when people complain about Paul's ego. If you wrote the soundtrack for an entire generation and were told every day of your life how special you are....let's see how well you keep your ego in check! I think Paul and the rest of the boys did a pretty good job...all things considered.

Bless him, he’s obviously broken hearted about losing John. How he held it together I’ll never know.

Imagine the reverse, John's witty and hilarious induction of Paul would've been great.

No one is more rock than John Lennon. Not a fake one with tough looking clothes, silly symbols and generic obnoxious stereotypical rock behavior. John was the real deal. He had a real edge, he had charisma, intelligence, he didn´t conform and he was innovative. All that is on the inside. THAT is rock.

Inducting John Lennon into the Rock n Roll Hall of fame is like giving Vince Lombardi the Lombardi trophy

As much as this was hard for Paul, I'd imagine how much it was a relief for him to finally share with the public all those random memories he kept inside all these years. The event was a fitting excuse for him to do just that.

What a class act. You can feel the love he has for Lennon with every word. At the end he was doing his best to keep himself composed. Truly a class man. Legend

You can tell how important John was in Paul’s life they were brothers and he really misses him because Paul is trying not to tear up because normally he talks so easily. John may be gone physically but he still lives in peoples hearts R.I.P. John Lennon the world misses you ❤️

John and Paul were the greatest love story ever.

Writing songs was never hard for Paul to do. THIS was.

That was a very brave performance. To stand before the world and recapitulate the shared life of a deep friend, a brother, really. I thought at each word his voice would break and he wouldn't be able to finish. I sat, enthralled, listening to his vignettes of his life with John, very moved by the stories and his obvious trial of emotion. And he pulled it off. Such grace under pressure is a rare thing to witness in the world, today.

This always breaks me up. Brits are known for a stiff upper lip and control their emotions. You can tell that Paul's heart is breaking right in front of us all. Bless you mate. RIP John

"Think of me old friend" The last words spoken by John to Paul.

look at Paul's facial expressions he's so holding back the tears.........his lips, his eyes, his body movement he's so trying not to break down reminiscing about a dear and close friend he lost. I swear on my life I hope when I die at least one person acts like this, that would mean I was important to at least one person..........this is epic

Its very heart touching to see how Paul and John were so good friends, and after all that years, the memories still in the heart of him

You can tell he’s uncomfortable sharing his memories and is struggling to keep it together, the little snippets that he’s giving out are for him and John to understand, not the rest of us.

The "Yea" at 1:29 sounds like John It's almost like John was replying to Paul...

Greatest team ever in music: Lennon/McCartney

Watch the full documentary "Get Back" and see for yourself the love these two guys had for each other.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen Paul so uncomfortable. I think this task was so emotionally difficult for him that his goal was simply to try to hold it together. And so he relies on notes and is fidgety and mechanical. Paul oozes humanity. I really felt for him here. I guarantee you, this was one of the most difficult things he’s ever done. Bless you, Paul.

the amount of jokes the audience didn’t snicker at i-

"John Lennon you made it."

John was Rock and Roll. And he was ALWAYS in that hall. This just made it official.

Love Paul McCartney My Dad saw the Beatles live. Paul just comes across so laid back and he has gone through so much. I am so happy they put their differences aside.

I think that Paul is still broken hearted that John is gone. The petty differences in their personalities waxes very minuscule as time passes and the love that remains is vast and true.

What I love about this random collection of memories from Paul is that he didn't try to canonize John; he didn't try to elevate him to super-human status. He just shows how it was the real, day-to-day moments -- even at the height of fame -- that were meaningful to him. For us on the outside, we want to see a legend immortalized, but Paul was just missing an old friend.

This is honestly such a sad thing to see. You can clearly see him holding back emotions in this. We all miss John. And one thing I realized, if they would've stayed together as a band, John might still be with us today. God bless all four of them for their talents and the great miracles they performed for this world.

I love that it’s not just a speech, it’s a letter to John

On his last day on Earth, John Lennon was followed around by Dave Sholin, who was interviewing him for RKO. Sholin was on his way to the airport and, when John and Yoko's car to the studio did not show up, Sholin invited them to ride with him and be dropped off on the way. They apparently had a remarkable day together and Sholin found Lennon to be open, friendly and excited to be reviving his career. When the subject of Paul came up, John did not hesitate to talk about their troubles, but ultimately said this: "He’s like a brother. I love him. Families … we certainly have our ups and downs and our quarrels. But at the end of the day when it’s all said and done, I would do anything for him. I think he would do anything for me." Obviously, I never met a Beatle, but it always troubled me to think that the two men didn't reconcile before they died. I find it very comforting to know that they did and that they had the opportunity to tell each other how they felt. In the end, I suppose, the love you take is equal to the love you make.

"This letter comes with love from your friend Paul...." So much conveyed with that little statement...

I can't even imagine all the stories he has of him and John. He could've gone on for an hour and it still wouldn't have been enough.

That was really quite moving. I've seen a lot of interviews with Paul (we all have, I'm sure) and I'm never convinced how sincere he is. But I felt that here, he was really meaning it and feeling it. Oh boy...

This was surely one of the hardest things Paul McCartney ever did. It's just absolutely heartbreaking.

Paul did have an ego, but so did John, so did all of them. In the end though they were just "4 guys who really loved each other" (which I think Ringo said) What friendships don't have their ups and downs? In the end John and Paul were brothers

the crowd’s reaction when yoko’s name is mentioned is priceless

To be young and raised on Beatle music...what a gift God gave me and anyone who grew up on them and their music well it's timeless.God bless the Beatles

Paul always loved John and the group. He dedicated many songs to John. In 1974 John was wearing a button "I love Paul" and someone asked him "Why are you wearing this shirt?" "Because I love Paul." Harry Nilsson told that story. They were really friends... I love when he imitates the voice of John.

Dear John do you remember all the times we rejected Ringo’s songs

Oh the stories Paul could tell!! It must of been difficult with out getting emotional. These 4 blokes changed the world 🌎. I LOVED ALL OF THEM & THEIR MUSIC. THEY MOLDED MY WORLD. John was so talented & such a musical force. SEAN. JULIAN & YOKO his family . GEORGE & JOHN dearly missed around the world. THANK YOU Paul!!! Love their music, still at 65 it moves me sometimes to tears.

Brothers from different mothers. We must treasure this complete legend of British music.

If John was around today I'm sure they would be good friends. That youthful competitive spirit can be destructive. But age is a great healer.

The crowd was quiet out of respect as everyone knew how painful it was for Paul to induct John into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame because of his assassination.

"Ahh, boy ..." That got to me. Paul was holding back the tears at that point. The "I'd love to turn you on" memory and their shared look must have especially stirred something up inside.

The Beatles deserve a higher level of honor than the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame. They were one of a kind and the best musical act that will ever exist.

The "ah boy" at 6.30 is one of the most revealing moments i've ever seen from Paul.

When my twin brother Paul died from cancer in 1992, I wrote, as a photographer, to many famous people asking that I might take their portrait in my bros' honour and collate a series of images for a book of photographs. I sent out sixty seven letters to the good and great in their various fields and crossed my fingers and waited..... Guess who the first person was to respond to my request. Your right. The very next day... I went down to his studios, after being met with a big hug and a cuppa, That picture got everyone else on board for the project and I know for sure that without Paul's yes it never would have got off the ground... I was in pieces having just lost my twin bro and best friend and your words of kindness about your mate John helped me like you'll never know.... You didn't know me from Adam and yet you gave me your time and I will always be grateful for that. Thank you.

He’s so nervous. The memories must be phenomenal and overwhelming inside of him. Thank you, Paul. You’re still missed, John, and I’m still pi$$ed.

I can’t believe a man, 9 years before I was born, could leave such a lasting presence in my life. Thank you, John. You’ve saved me a few times x

"Bang goes another myth." "Beatle sandwhich." I like his subtle humor 😁

If you're a fan, you will cry. I grew up with the lads as best I could, through film and vinyl. I'm 60 and had never seen this video before. I clearly remember the day John died. The Beatles and John solo touched my life in so many ways I can't explain. Thank you John. Thank you Paul. Thank you George. Thank you Ringo. Thank you for enriching the life of a kid from nowhere USA. Seriously.

Paul has control his tears of losing john... their friendship is incomparable... paul showwed how he missed their moments and how he loved their friendship.. i seemed to cry listening him. I missed their friendship and presence although im not born at their time... when i listened their music ses they were lived on this world. GOD bless paul and john9

John Lennon and Paul McCartney together as a song writing team changed the future of music. I remember seeing the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1964 that was exciting. They played many songs in 4 Ed Sullivan Sunday night shows. I remember in the mid 1960s on the AM radio station they had a music competition contest and would keep playing another tune and see which song won and 'I want to hold your hand' by The Beatles won that contest. A different time in 1967 I was 12 and I brought my portable record player to a girl's place in our small town and we were playing spin the bottle and a few guy and a few girls and you kissed the girl who the bottle pointed to. That was fun. The only records we had there were The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. I remember each of the Beatles songs as they were released on the AM radio station the songs were always great.

At 6:27, when he talks about the look they exchanged after that line in A day in the life, you can see he's reliving that moment. The pause, the sigh and the 'ah boy' are so painful to watch. It's when he thinks about small, intimate and playful moments like that one - moments only the two of them shared - that Paul misses John the most.

God,you can clearly see the pain and the sadness in his eyes heartbreaking

Talks about A Day in the Life and finishes the sentence with "Oh boy"

“Thank you, Larry.” The timeless satirical quippy humor of Paul and the Beatles that made them so fun.

1994: Paul McCartney inducts John Lennon 2015: Paul McCartney inducts Ringo Starr

Dear Paul, he is so ordinary and human. I wish people wouldn't put him down. I can see his nerves & honesty so clearly as he made this speech. It is him trying to explain to 'outsiders' a few of the 'infinite moments' that he spent with John. I know for myself, that it's impossible to convey to outsiders, why a relationship is/has been so important to you & you only.

Paul remembers him and miss him every single day, he lost his best friend, band member , co songwriter and very special person to his life. They're voice blended like no other.

40+ years is a long time to go without ever seeing or speaking to one of your favorite people. What a reunion that's going to be.

Paul is so good in front of an audience. That he seemed uncomfortable in front of this one tells me how hard it must have been for him to hold his emotions in check, especially at the end.

This is the most uncomfortable I've ever seen Paul in public. It was a beautiful speech though.

When George died Paul called him his baby brother. Which was beautiful. In truth, I think John was Paul’s big brother. In fact, he may have been the big brother to all of them.

Paul is like fine wine...he only gets better with age!

I doubt any of the critics could do an 8 minute speech in front of thousands of people and try and be funny and poignant at the same time.....all the while trying to hold it together and not break down......easier said than done folks!

He talks about first meeting him, like it’s just Yesterday,,,

You could literally here the raw emotion from Paul to his friend. Wonderful snd moving to listen too at the same time. ❤❤

i noticed after watching quite a few pretty emotional interviews with paul, that he gets very twitchy when he's nervous, or on a verge of crying. here he looks like he cant stop twitching, and watching it breaks my heart

I'll bet John would've done the same for the Paul if the situation was reversed.

There’s an unusual moment at 1:30 when he says “yeah”. It doesn’t sound like Paul. It sounds like John to me.

Saw Julian Lenton on TV recently and he still calls him Uncle Paul!

Hard not to get very emotional watching Sir Paul talking to his friend with so much history and enough love to fill the room.. Thank you for posting this for us. 💜 💜

Brilliant man. Not talking about the assasination, not giving that jerk of all jerks any credit any waste of time and name. Paul your the best.

What absolutely dread the day we have to talk about Paul McCartney past tense... You mean a lot to me Paul your music has been entrenched in my life growing up thank you so much for you and your group....

I was fortunate enough to have my son buy tickets to ACL for Paul. He put on a fantastic show, my son, granddaughter, daughter and I groove to all of his songs! So many memories for me and my kids. I LOVE YOU PAUL and the Beatles!

Man you can tell at some times during his speech, he’s holding back tears, the thing for me is that even if they weren’t Muscians , they would still be friends live each other

You could see him holding it back all the way through. Almost made me cry.

The Beatles were all like family. They had their arguments, but no matter what, also had brotherly love. This was a thoughtful way for Paul to remember his dear friend John. It's almost like they're both there reminiscing about good old times, sharing fond memories of their wonderful friendship

Here we go again, 8th December 2020. 40 years... 💔 We love and miss you, John! 🥺

Timeless, unmatched music that the world will never see the likes of again. Truly an incredible band and group of guys. You can talk about the true GIANTS, the kings and icons of the world, history, music, and culture, but above most will always be the Beatles. Incredible

John Lennon would have been 78 now and it would have been fascinating to hear his take on what is going on in this world. He was a highly intelligent but complex character and it is a tragedy that his life was cut short at such a relatively young age.

2020 and 2021(new) we are still listening to The Beatles.

To do not without a tear drop must have been challenging. What a great letter

That was absolutely GREAT! Thank you Paul McCartney. Yes I was 12 in 1964. Yes I was living in Atlanta GA. Yes I saw you guys on the Ed Sullivan show. Yes I was a big Elvis fan and follower. But you guys took over from that point in time. The next eight years you guys were always there for us on the radio with a new song. Such a big part of our lives. Thank you so much
