On January 13, 1969, during the “Get Back” sessions, Ringo Starr asked who recorded “Build Me Up Buttercup.” He’s being told it’s The Foundations, and Paul McCartney and Linda Eastman both sang a bit of the chorus. A few minutes, Paul sang a few more lines of the song.
The Beatles sang another version of “Build Me Up Buttercup,” on January 31, 1969, the last day of the “Get Back” sessions.
