Best Answer

No. Sony Music controls their catalog, and owns much of it. (Michael Jackson owned their catalog, but sold much of it to Sony.) Rights to John Lennon's share reverted to his estate gradually, but Yoko Ono reassigned it to Sony, and pocketed the cash for it. Paul McCartney owns some of their pre-Northern Songs music, like "Love Me Do". Chappell may have published songs The Beatles recorded early on. Their recordings are still owned and controlled by EMI, and/or Apple Corps Ltd.

There are only two Lennon & McCartney songs that John Lennon's estate and Paul McCartney wholly own: "Love Me Do" and "P.S. I Love You". This is because until Dick James had set up their own publishing company, Northern Songs, EMI had placed the Beatles' first two (released) recordings with their own in-house publishers, Ardmore and Beechwood.

What bands write their own songs?

The Beatles were entirely self-contained. they performed their own music ( they did have some assistance from one Phillip Spector in later years) wrote their own songs, etc, not hirelings or ( Paint by Number) types ( like Sinatra- oddly his best known and most individualistic song- My Way- was written by Paul Anka! no, Beatles were their own master-and-man. This is also true of some individual artists such as Bob Dylan and Neil Diamond.
