Balandinski: Красивая легенда.
"Историй «Битлз», связанных с нашей страной, практически не существует. Больше легенды. Одна из них - то, что в шестидесятых годах в одном из ресторанов Ливерпуля любимая певица Брежнева Людмила Зыкина повстречалась с четверкой музыкантов всех времен и народов и спела вместе с ними несколько песен. Но эту историю Владимир Ильинский считает выдумкой самой певицы."

А теперь ознакомьтесь с другими версиями.
Who was Lucy?
The Lucy referred to in the song was probably a classmate of Julian's at Heath House School named Lucy O'Donnell, born in Weybridge in 1963.[5] She has met up with him on a few occasions in the last few years, and occasionally appears on daytime shows for the anniversary of the "Sgt. Pepper's" album. She is featured in the book "A Hard Day's Night". She now lives in Surbiton in Surrey, and owned a nanny agency for children with special needs until she was taken ill with psoriatic arthritis and lupus some years ago.
There is another candidate for the original Lucy: British comedian Peter Cook's daughter, Lucy. Lennon and Cook were seeing quite a bit of each other at the time (Lennon made a guest appearance on Cook's TV show Not Only... But Also as a doorman). According to Cook's biographer, Harry Thompson, Lennon told Cook's then wife, Wendy, that the song was inspired by Lucy Cook.
