Carl’s final album, “Go Cat Go!” (1996) includes a duet with Paul McCartney (“My Old Friend”), George Harrison (“Distance Makes No Difference With Love”) and Ringo Starr (“Honey Don’t” with Carl’s voice added to a stage performance). Carl Perkins (779): “I went to AIR studios at Montserrat and I recorded with Paul for ‘Tug Of War’. I did ‘Get It’ with him and I played rhythm guitar on ‘Ebony And Ivory’, which was a No.l song. I was there eight days and the night before I was leaving, I sat out on the patio and a song came to me. (Sings a snatch of ‘My Old Friend’) I never wrote it down and the next day I said to Paul, ‘I am better at singing than I am at talking and this is what I want to say.’ Paul and Linda had tears in their eyes when I sang it, and Linda said, ‘Carl, how did you know that was the last thing that John ever said to Paul?’ I was spooked by that, and she said, ‘As we left the Dakota, John patted Paul on the shoulder and said, “Think about me every now and then, my old friend.”’ That song sent chills over my body and Paul and Linda believe that John Lennon visited my mind. He was speaking to Paul through me. The same thing happened with ‘Distance Makes No Difference With Love’. I said those words to my wife, Val, the night before I was leaving to visit George. I never wrote them down and the next day I said to George, ‘I must sing this while it’s still on my mind.’ He and Olivia said it was beautiful and when Paul heard the song, he said, ‘John Lennon’s been back. Anytime you’re singing, Carl, just go on. Don’t push the thoughts away because it may be him again.’”
