> “No no, we didn’t get along. We were four guys, we had rows. It never got in the way of the music no matter how bad the row was. Once the count in, we all gave our best. And that was a little later, too, which I think it was a natural thing, you know,” said Starr of how things shifted as The Beatles’ career progressed.
> “Because of Paul, who was the workaholic of our band, we made a lot more records than John and I would’ve made,” the “Photograph” performer said. “We liked to sit around a little more and then Paul would call ‘Alright lads’, and we’d go in.”
> “I think it’s all part of where we came from. I always give credit that there was four of us all from the same city and we would look at each other, you know one of us would be freaking out or being a big shot and three other people would go ‘Excuse me’ and that kept us straight,” he said.
“Fewer.”

I don’t think this is much of a secret to fans.
John’s been dead 40+ years and these lads still don’t have a single gray, write a song about that
He’s right. Paul was the driving force behind everything after Revolver. Without Paul, they’d probably only have a longer, even more disjointed white album to show for the late 60s.
