@@tarosan1754 No, it's the same person. His voice changed because the early healthy "fat" John didn't smoke as much or take heavy drugs as "skinny" John did with his hippie friends.
Actually, the pain was very real! Unfortunately, John had a very bad sore throat for the recording of this album. His voice sounds normal on only Love Me Do, Please Please Me, and Ask Me Why, because those songs were recorded prior to the album. The rest of the album you can clearly hear John's sore throat, but he still sounds great.
@@hw343434 As much as I love John Lennon and the Beatles, I have to disagree with you. His voice is definitely not 'one of the finest voices in rock & roll'. Lennon a pretty standard 1950's rock voice. Perhaps you are bias because of your love for this band and fond memories etc. I'm pretty sure you can come up with tonnes of voices better than his. Elvis Presley's voice was way better than this. Or maybe you meant to say: "such a lovely voice" (then you would be correct).
@@easybullet3 Elvis really? Im not really fan of his deep voice, and his voice can be easily impersonated by others, not unique u just gotta sing deeply, I would agree more if you say Roy Orbison.
John was simply one of the best rock/pop singers of all time. Lennon, McCartney, and Harrison together were pure magic vocally. I don't know what it is, I can't put my finger on it exactly. But there's just something about them that moves me way down deep inside. Always has, since I was 6 yrs old. The crazy part it, they had that same effect on millions of other people the world over.
I believe when this was recorded it was the time when George Martin had only recently met the Beatles and was trying to get an idea of their music. So he essentially had them record nearly every song they knew…or at least the ones they had been performing recently in all the clubs. So they literally recorded all their songs in one day, and there’s information out there that both Paul and John had terrible colds that particular day. You can tell by John’s voice on this song that it was absolutely hoarse and “shredded,” as John used to say. It really doesn’t even sound like John Lennon singing. And I never heard him sound like that the rest of his career.
Charles Cuba: Yep, I always wondered if the songs on “Introducing The Beatles” were some of the last ones recorded that day because John’s voice (especially) sounds that way on many of the songs on that album (i.e., Baby It’s You, A Taste of Honey, Chains, There’s a Place, Anna, Twist and Shout). I’m sure all of their voices were dead tired, but John’s was noticeably different from the way it typically sounded on other albums. But now I’ve recently learned that both Paul and John had bad colds that day, and THAT was the main reason their voices sounded so different than at any other time. As a side note, soon after the Beatles became popular in the USA in 1964, two albums appeared in the States at exactly the same time....at least in my city. The album most people got was “Meet The Beatles“. But they also released “Introducing The Beatles“ at the same time. I was just a young teenager and I remember pleading with my mother to let me and my sister get both albums. She gave in and got both of them for us and I always appreciated it. The reason I wanted Introducing The Beatles was because I had heard Twist and Shout the day before on the radio and I thought it was absolutely the coolest song I had ever heard. I just couldn’t believe John’s voice when he sang it like that and I was just amazed. People just didn’t sing like that back then, or at least I had never heard anything like it. So I begged for that album mainly for just that one song! 😂 A lot of people never heard many of the songs on Introducing The Beatles because they weren’t played on the radio. But I did! And I remember listening to that album and wondering why their voices sounded different than on most other songs. It never occurred to me that it was mainly just John’s voice that sounded so different until years later. 😀
@@pocopico7409, hey, sounds as if you're a true Beatles fan, if you haven't already, can I ask that you search RUclips for "Please Please Me at 50". Its a program by the BBC replicating the making of Please Please Me album at Abbey Road Studios. All the timings are as they were on the day the Beatles made the album. Some great artists in that programme. As a side note , on this Friday the 9th October, it will be 56 years since I saw the lads live on stage in my hometown of Bradford in the UK. It was the start of their last tour of the UK and Lennon's 24th birthday.
@Boodysaspie "Perhaps this is when they realised the benefits of pharmaceuticals?" Or, you could have looked it up and found out that they recorded "Ask My Why" three months earlier as the b-side to the single of "Please Please Me?"
The stereo recordings were weird, you can hear the music in one speaker and the voices in the other. So I think that he recorded from the speaker were the voices were coming out.
This is entertaining because the backing vocals sound like a lazy groan "ANNA ". I love the song but this isolated vocals version really makes me laugh out loud Thanks for posting it. xx
Gotta be alone on this, but when I was a little kid and I first heard this in '64 I thought it was George :) That said, I'll echo the comments and thank John - can't believe he's almost gone for as long as he was with us. Thanks again BVH!
I often mixed John and George up too when I started listening to Beatles. What separates them is that John has a more powerful voice than George. George wasn’t as good as John in “belting”
Wow! Fantastic! Nice to hear the other lads as well! I suppose they were in the same room, all singing at once, but they didn’t overlap- George and Paul in the background. One interesting thing I never heard before was the end. Did they overdub extra harmony on the last note or are George and Paul doing something new? The concluding harmony is pretty rich and has a depth that concludes the song, some Beatles are really emphasizing the /m/ as if humming, but it is extra and wasn’t there before, only appearing at the very end of the song. Any thoughts?
Lennon did use this raspy - hoarse - baritonal - like - voice at the beginning of his career. Songs like Twist and shout, There's a place and Misery are sung through it. Pity he did not use it afterwards anymore for it was beautifuly masculine .
yo tenía un par de simples de los beatles de entre el 63 y el 67 y cuando me prestaron el EP con los primeros cuatro temas del primer LP me gustaba la voz pero, comparándola con la de los otros temas, no podía entender que esa era la voz de Lennon. años después me enteré que estaba resfriado en esa sesión.
This is one of my favorite Lennon songs. I took 4 hits of acid in a dark room a few years ago and listed to the Beatles (obviously) but this song stuck out. Made me weep thinking about John and his impact on music. How young he was recording it. It was a beautiful experience
John had such a vulnerability in his voice especially the early 60's Motown like You really got a hold on me, Mr. Postman and here Anna. John's talents seem more like the struggles and pain of Beethoven while Paul's comes from say like a Mozart free flowing fountain.
I love hearing the vocals separated out! There is a little anomaly in the background vocals at the chorus. George and Paul are doing the Aahhs and George keeps going just a little flat, then quickly corrects. I think he was going for the 'minor 4th' chord which doesn't arrive until later. Does anyone else here this? I'm surprised George Martin didn't have them do it over..
I've always thought John had a cold or something on this tune . His pitch sounds so different , almost doesn't sound like John even though I know it is .

He has so much pain in his voice. He really knows how to transfer emotion in his singing. Thanks john lennon
I absolutely agree! Also he had a cold while recording this, and I think you can hear that haha. John's voice is so unique and special!🤗
John's voice changed so much if you listen to his solo career song like imagine or woman, its like a different person than this.

John Lennon ruled the early Beatles. An excellent rock vocalist, be he.
Pop vocalist*
@@mafasah98 rock also
I've always loved John's vocals on this song. This album as a whole is a very strong John album.
Then you must be happy that Arthur Anderson allowed John to record this song.
John's voice is one of the most unique & signature singers in the world....
I feel like this should be more popular than it is
Always one of my very favorites.
Definitely. Love this song.
This is one of the most underrated songs by the guys. Just beautiful.
*FUN FACT:* Rolling Stone ranked John Lennon as the 5th greatest singer of all time in the 100 Greatest Singers of All Time list.
One of the finest voices in rock and roll
THE Finest

What a raspy masculine baríton voice!! What a way to transmit bitterness, sadness , anger and claiming feelings! This Is John's Best voice
Amen.
Not tenor?
@@jamesthompson9481 I'm not an operatic voice expert, but in this song it seems he sings using bariton range.
What a great singer John Lennon was! Amazing!
R.I.P. John...
John will never be forgotten. +
I'm stunned by this vocal isolation, it's awesome.
When he says searching it breaks my heart everytime 💔
John had a cold the day the Beatles recorded 10 of the 12 songs on the first record. It helped give him more soul in his voice.
Hearing johns voice is like zen.
Yeah, i like ryzen too
Agreed
I think your a little confused the lead vocal on Anna is George Harrison!
Paul Moseley awfully sorry but it IS John Lennon. Unmistakable vocals and it's on Wikipedia. Paul and George were the backing harmonies!!!
@@paulmoseley8094 It's Lennon!
Remarkable! John had such a great, versatile voice. One of my favorite rock vocalists ever.
This has always been one of my favorite songs, love John’s vocals as always. Just great. 👍❤️
It's always been one of my very favorite songs too. It is truly beautiful. John's voice is perfect.
I love the vocal timbre that John used on the early albums, especially on Please, please me and With The Beatles.
This song is the perfect example.
He had a really bad throat that day but still gave a world class performance!
John was simply one of the best rock/pop singers of all time.

You can really hear that cold he was fighting off here
Eu simplesmente amo a voz do John, sempre amei. Nesse álbum, o John ganha com os melhores vocais
This song means so much to me and my nina Anna we thank you todo madre.
Cool! One of my favorite Top 10 Beatles tracks and I’d never noticed the “…go with him” harmonies by all three at the very end.
You can hear that John had a head cold when he recorded this song.
What? But please please me was recorded in only a day?
Nah he’s always had that tone in his voice very nasal.
@@FlipGuitarist80No, he did in fact have a cold the day of recording the Please Please Me album.
I miss your tutorials so much sir :(
An absolutely incredible lead vocal. Love the Early Beatles.
These backing harmonys! So lovely! John was awesome too! ✌

Michael Cotton: He certainly did! I’ve been harmonizing with him now for 56 years! 😂
The last song they recorded in that session was Twist and Shout. Listen to that original track and you'll hear his voice really IS wrecked.

Lennon's Great powerful Rock N Roll vocal on a beautiful ballad!
For me, this is treasure!🙌🏻
Amazing job the way you have filtered out the guitars etc that are on the original vocal track with hardly any distortion of the vocals. Great stuff!
The stereo recordings were weird, you can hear the music in one speaker and the voices in the other. So I think that he recorded from the speaker were the voices were coming out.
A voice the world misses! So many emotions that touched our hearts! 💕
Thename of my beloved daughter , love hearing this even after so many years, comforts.
He actually had a cold while recording this song.
Same with "Twist & Shout", Lennon was such an epic singer he should've had a cold more often lol that rasp is incredible
I was just thinking he sounded like he had a cold
The Beatles had a jar of 'zubes' which where throat sweets/pastels in the studio with them to help complete the days recordings.
Ohh one of my favorites.. Christmas came a little early this year
Esta canción y "this boy" tienen las mejores vocalizaciones de John en especial su parte central
Brilliant ! The Beatles had so much magic about them, what a combination they were, thankyou.
Lennon had soul in abundance
Шикарный альбом. Битлз на века!!!!!!!!!!!
This is entertaining because the backing vocals sound like a lazy groan "ANNA ". I love the song but this isolated vocals version really makes me laugh out loud Thanks for posting it. xx
We all love the Beatles and I think its forever
They were made to be and last
He’s VOICE is Amazing
Not a bad vocal for a guy who had a cold when he sung this song.
Love Lennon's voice!! So many I'd love to hear him isolated. Mr. Moonlight, Happiness is a warm gun for starters. esp ones not double tracked
Someday obviously knows this song is dear to my heart! This is beautiful...love John and this song!
One of the greatest voices of all time
wow...I just remembered why I've fallen in love with John once
Greatest Rock Singer of all Time, exhibit A. NOBODY had that tone, rasp and swagger combined in one voice like John Lennon
What about Freddie? Haha, just kidding Andres. We know😉 And the most iconic person of the 20th Century, IMO
I love this song. And I love to play on top of John's singing :D thats a rare luxury.
Gotta be alone on this, but when I was a little kid and I first heard this in '64 I thought it was George :) That said, I'll echo the comments and thank John - can't believe he's almost gone for as long as he was with us. Thanks again BVH!
You're not alone at all-I always thought that was George too!!!!
George could not sing half as well as Lennon.
Обажаю этот альбом, и эту песню.
Nice! What country are from?
What a beautiful voice. And strangely, it sounds like Paul trying to sound like John...
Amo 💜 amo la voz de John 💕😻💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
Can hear his cold. Amazing. Thanks for this.
I can only how many times he had to go up that day in the studio
He sounds so much like George in some parts
I even hear Ringo a little when John sings the word “him.” Also a few seconds of Paul here and there in his voice.
Omg exactly!
You are right, they did a great cover.
They both had moments throughout their albums where sounded like each other. I used to think Polythene Pam was George.

1:21 Me estremese, ya viví el tema en la vida
Just absolutely amazing
He was sick when they recorded this album. And he had to sing Twist and Shout
When you consider they did the album, this track is on in a very short time, it's a wonder their voices held out. 🎶❤️
happy birthday, winston :)
I couldn't believe my ears the first time I payed attention to this song. Best John's beatle cover ever 💚.
One of the greatest rock voices ever! He had a gift.
💓 Love the harmony
One of my favorite of their many covers. John nailed it!
I have Always loved His Voice
