Vaughan came up with "Michelle, ma belle." McCartney came up with the next line, "These are words that go together well," and Vaughan taught him the French translation, "Sont des mots qui vont tres bien ensemble," which he used in the song as well. When he played it for Lennon, John suggested the "I love you" part in the middle.
John Lennon invited McCartney over to college parties when he was still in high school, and French culture was a trend. Paul would try to fit in by sitting in a corner and pretending to be French. He would play little tunes in French, but he only knew a few French words so he would groan or make words up. John told him that he should make it into a real song for Rubber Soul, so he asked his friend Ivan Vaughan, whose wife was a French teacher, for a French name and some words to rhyme with it.
Wow ! Marvellous! I recall when we first met on yt we had immediate connection due to the Beatles! I had the privilege to go to a Paul´s show here in Sao Paulo in 1995 and he sang this amazing and romantic song when Linda were still alive! Unforgettable! Thank you so much for posting this, brings me back to nice moments of my life! Sérgio
It's really a beautiful video !! ....and this song is so sweet, my Ashleigh...and it is more special because I see YOU, my friend, through all the emotions I am feeling listening to it....
"Michelle" is one of the most beautiful songs sung by Paul McCartney. Love the Beatles and also Paul McCartney & Wings! Thanks for another great video that deserves a million stars!
Ahh my beautiful darling Ashleigh, thank you so much for sending me such a lovely video of one of the most romantic love songs recorded in the history of the rock and roll era.

Such a romantically alluring song led by Pauls' sensational effect on lead vocals. Definitely one of my favorite love songs.
