Yes I think they do. But the articles were in editions printed before you were born:)

I read "Many Years From Now" by Paul McCartney, and even HE was unsure. It is the ONLY song that they ever got into arguments over.

Can't think of the guys name-was it Brian Epstein?' the manager who handled all the recording and mixing?
I saw an interview with him once, and he said, whoever sang the lead vocals, wrote the song or at least came up with the original, they all worked on the final product... I have a couple copies of songs that were done as they recorded them, some pretty funny stuff

You might be thinking of George Martin, the producer. He's known as the "fifth" Beatle.

The manager take care of the money and the monkeybuisness all around that, PR, etc,etc. The producer sets up the recordings and are "a part" of the recording. Helps out with the sound and "lead" the recordings towards diffrent paths. He is the man who pulls everything into place.
Many times the Producer also is the owner of the recording and get royalties for it as such, all deepending what it says in the contract, prior to the recordings.

I count Billy Preston as the "fifth" Beatle as he did most of the keyboards during the late years.
George Martin, was a Producer and even though he contributed to a lot of the Beatles sound, he was nothing more.
