"Often referred to as the 'gentle giant', Evans was working as a bouncer at the Cavern Club when Brian Epstein offered him a job hauling equipment for the Beatles in 1963. He can be seen doing the same job, to Paul's piano accompaniment, during the opening of the film Let It Be (1970). Later in the film, he pounds an anvil to the beat of "Maxwell's Silver Hammer". He also appears briefly in Help! (1965), Magical Mystery Tour (1967) and the 1967 promotional film for Hello, Goodbye.
When the band stopped touring, Evans became a personal assistant and later an Apple executive. He is said to have contributed lyrics to "Fixing A Hole" and also discovered Apple recording artists Badfinger and produced their hit single "No Matter What"."

"He never received royalties and had to make do with £38-a-week pay. McCartney and the Apple label have not commented about the diaries, or the songwriting credits. Keith Badman, who is the author of "The Beatles Off the Record", stated that he obtained a tape of Evans talking before his death, on which Evans repeated the claims. According to Badman, Evans was asked (before the record came out) if it would be a problem that his name was not credited, as the Lennon-McCartney writing name was "a really hot item."
