Nevertheless, many young people, including musicians, yet don`t know them. Up to me, to get a copyright of any musical work, every composer should first pass a music history examination.
They are typically called a rock band but they are some much more than just that…they experimented and created so many sub genres that it’s hard to fathom. And all in just 7 years. They are the greatest music act of all time.
Arguably one of the greatest vocal tracks in rock and roll. Paul McCartney practiced this one at Abbey Road Studios for a week to make sure he got it just the way he wanted it.
This song and Helter Skelter demonstrate Paul McCartney's mastery of vocal rock singing. Its almost hard to believe its the very same singer of other Beatles songs such as, "Blackbird", "Mother Nature's Son", "I Will", Yesterday, "And I Love Her", "Here, There and Everywhere", "I'll Follow the Sun", "Martha My Dear", "Fool On the Hill", "When I'm Sixty Four", etc. All of where he used a softer singing voice. In the 1977 Paul demonstrated this again with his soft singing of his hit single, "Mull of Kintyre", along with the "B" side rocker, "Girl's School". And similarly in his 1976 live version of his rock songs "Hi, Hi, Hi", and "Rockshow" where he still showed his rock voice. And the fact that even in his 70's and 80's Paul is still singing "Helter Skelter" is truly amazing.
Great comment. I love Paul's singing on Hi, Hi, Hi. Early Beatles belters of his are She's a Woman and Long Tall Sally. Also Paul's "So Bad" 1983 demonstrates another type of singing voice.
The Beatles are not only known for their huge variety of great songs, great musicianship, massive influence on rock music, but also for setting cultural trends in hair styles, clothing, and fandom. The Beatles have been one of my favorite bands since they came to America in 1964, and I'm thrilled that you are playing their music on your channel. If you choose more live performances, I would recommend some of their live early performances on The Ed Sullivan Show. Twist and Shout, She Loves You, I Want to Hold Your Hand, Til There Was You are a few of the live songs. If you react to recordings, I would recommend She's leaving Home or Let It Be. I enjoyed your reaction, and more Beatles.
There are a ton of better live performances from the Beatles. The first Ed Sullivan show, as important and historic as the performance was, suffered from poor studio sound.
Had Led Zeppelin not been formed and recorded their first album prior to this song's release I would have sworn that they based their early sound on it, especially Robert Plant's singing style. In any case the Beatles were not a rock group. They were many rock groups, a new one almost with the release of each new album, with many sounds, most of which they have invented or perfected.
My dad as a kid was mowing my grandpas yard when my aunt vera and her friend Nancy were teens crying they're eyes out when my dad asked who had died they we.re crying because the Beatles broke up my dad said to himself oh brother women lololol
I want to share with you one discovery of a young talent. This girl amazes with her voice from a very young age. Many reactors have made thousands of reactions to her amazing voice. React or discover this phenomenon. To get acquainted, I recommend making a reaction to her performance at the age of 10. If you don’t see that there is a little girl in front of you, then you hear the voice of a professional vocalist with 20-30 years of singing experience. So, Diana Ankudinova (10 years old) - Oh, Darling! The famous hit of the legendary group The Beatles.
If the Beatles have any specific talent (and they had many) the foremost one must be versatility. Ability to sound great in almost any genre. They always liked to be doing something different with each song and in every case they have done it with expertise and talent.
Paul's last truly great song recorded with the Beatles. Johns' guitar work is outstanding. John loved Oh Darling! and felt he should have sung it instead of Paul. George's bass playing is impeccable while Ringo's drumming is as steady as the North Star. In 1970, had the Beatles stayed together and toured to promote their Let It Be film, I suspect Oh! Darling would have been included in their set list. Great reaction itsprincess, RNB
The Beatles were not just 'one' of anything - they had mutiple songwriters, they were multi-instumentalists - they had played together for many years so they were 'tight' - they were signed by a classically trained producor (George Martin) who not only gave them freedom to expand, but also brought totally new ellements to their recordings - and they had a technical team, at Abbey Road, who were skilled enough and willing enough, to realise some truly extraordinaty, ground breaking sounds and recording techniques.
People tend to be very rigid on what they consider to be a musical genre like 'Rock' these days. The 60s and early 70s were a period of free musical experimentation where the rules of popular music writing, recording, touring and marketing were all still being made up on the spot. Everyone was being influenced by and 'digging' each-others music, borrowing, trading and even stealing musical ideas, and they were generally being allowed to do whatever the hell they wanted. Hence you get a lot of groundbreaking 'classic' albums and unusual songs from a hugely diverse array of artists, each with their own unique thing that's very 'them'. I doubt the Beatles would have considered themselves a 'rock' band as we understand it today, they were just doing 'their' thing.
Of course they defined themselves as a rock band. Maybe initially more as a rock'n'roll band, because that's their basis. Hard rock and uptempo tracks were always part of their discography.
The Beatles and Stones have said very clearly that it was pop, not 'rock'. Up to mid 1960s, it was classical, jazz, folk, pop. Rock 'n roll was a subgenre of pop. Keith Richards, especially, says how 'rock', as a distinct genre, was coined in later 1960s... while he preferred 'to roll'.
@@braudabo They didn't. They were pop of which rock ' roll was a subgenre. They were a rock 'n roll group through Hamburg and up to Brian Epstein advised them that leathers and rock 'n roll music would only get them so far. So they transformed and put on suits and wrote and performed the best pop music ever for teenage girls and the rest of the world bought into it. Rock as a word and genre didn't appear till the later 1960s to describe the later developments of blues into heavy blues. Of course, The Beatles went on to make some of the best rock as well as the best pop music since they had already been the toughest punky rock 'n roll group in the toughest performing environment of the Indra and Kaiserkeller clubs in Hamburg
The Beatles were sitting in the Abbey Road music studio and trying to decide where they were going to shoot pictures for their album cover. One suggestion was France. But then Paul said, Why don't we go outside and cross the street. To this day, fans are getting their pictures taken while crossing Abbey Road
Clicked because I love the Beatles, but also, your makeup is on point and the vibe of your room is so perfect for this era of music omg… please do all of the late 60s here!❤❤❤❤
The Beatles - Eight Days A Week. Official Artist Channel. Studio version with film footage from their legendary concert at Shea Stadium in New York City in 1965.
Great choice, great reaction, a legendary STUNNING track for all time. It’s SO perfect, SO beautiful, SO plaintive - it can make me cry 55 years later. For equally perfect melodic beauty: Dear Prudence, and Don’t Let Me Down (live, rooftop perf), then Revolution (live), Come Together
As previously mentioned, Paul practiced this song for a week to shred that vocal. He really wanted a caustic, desperate sound. I interpret the song as Paul talking to John, saying not to leave him (and the Beatles). "I'll never let you down", a direct reference to John's "Don't Let Me Down". Also, "I'll never make it alone". All leading to the breakup of the Beatles.
The Beatles are Rock indeed my dear, to hear see/hear what I mean, do the official video for Revolution, it is a banger and great live performance, they could be quite heavy when they wanted to. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
As someone who was in choir in middle school and high school so I can easily hear and tell if some notes are higher than others and if a singer is singing in his chest voice, the crazy thing about this song is Paul's belting those lyrics noticeably higher than Freddy Mercury in Don't Stop Me Now and Bohemian Rhapsody.
Great reaction ❤ outstanding track. Try “Dear Prudence “ off The Beatles “white “ album. Another classic song from the Beatles, along with many many more !
Your reaction put a huge smile on my face. It was so fun and I grew up with the Beatles and I'm into all kinds of music and I played in bands my whole life and really I know a lot about a lot of different kinds of music but still, they remain one of my favorites. I absolutely adore Oh Darling. Not just Paul's amazing vocals but John's in there too and just the guitar work and Ringo on the drums and Paul on the bass, it just sounds so good. They were hard to categorize because they were just the Beatles And they also evolved quite rapidly over their very short decade-long run. But if you really want to hear something where Paul gets into some more intense screaming than this, Helter Skelter is often regarded as one of the earliest precursors to heavy metal. It came out in the late 1960s.
Music of my childhood. By the time I was your age they had long broken up and were well into their own careers. They revolutionised music in the sixties. There is music pre Beatles and music after.
...a blast of a song - Paul apparently screamed a lot to warm up his voice, to sound really rough in the studio love the energy!! I wouldn't categorize the Beatles as a rock band... they picked up whatever came along in their creativity, from 50s ballroom style to symphonic pop, rock, reggae, metal, blues, ballads to even gospel, and some songs are almost not songs, but rather sheer art, expressed in audio-format... one's best way to approach a new listening is with a completely open mind (and heart)... and you can find some favourite songs in any age range - many songs are universally applicable... yes - in short: they were a miracle 🌟
Have you done any early/Beatlemania Beatles yet? Stuff from 1963-65? They were a Pop phenomenon back then and their songs were incredible! You should check out 3 or 4 of them (because they are pretty short songs), to get a sense of that time. "She Loves You", "I Saw Her Standing There", "Can't Buy Me Love" and "Help!".
OK, agree. But songs like this one, don`t accept covers of any kind. Maybe the version of "With a Little Help from my Friends" by Joe Cocker at Woodstock, can be acceptable due to its originality. Also "Helter Skelter" by U2, or "Something" by Tonny Bennett.
@@AAK1954 - I think we can agree that one can like and enjoy a cover even though it may not be as good. The one I always think of is “Got To Get You Into My Life” by Earth, Wind & Fire - that’s about as good as you can get for a Beatles cover!
Paul McCartney can really belt them when he puts his mind to it. His first solo album has a good belt on the song Maybe I'm Amazed, in which he plays all the instruments.
@itsprincess- The Beatles are by far the greatest group ever. Paul killed it on Oh Darling and this is one of there best songs. I wouldnt say you could label them really mainly a rock group bc when they first came to the U.S in 64 they did alot of pop stuff with songs like she loves you and I want to hold your hand. Only later did they get into stuff like rock, Psychedelic and so fourth. Check out there song Hey Jude.
Their songs in 1963/64, '65 and ''66 WERE called "Rock n' Roll" songs by other artists at the time that didn't always appeal to most teenagers and mostly loved by our parents, were "Pop" songs (which is actually just short for "POPULAR" anything you heard on the radio and which sold well on records were "Popular songs" SO even then you could also say they were a "pop/ rock n' roll group. Music in the '50s (when rock n' roll started creeping in) and '60s was a combination of genres, it wasn't so categorized as rigidly as it seems to be now. That's why the Beatles AND other groups in the '60s were each a mixture of styles. I know because I was a teenager during that period and the radio or our record player was ALWAYS on in our house when I was growing up. PLUS my Dad was a musician who played 4 instruments, so I was exposed to all sorts of music styles from the day I was born.
Seeing you react to the Beatles; is so precious and timeless every lover of music has the same truly soulful feeling as we had in the 60's as we waited in aww and disbelief for how was it possible to make original music so different from anyone else before plus not to repeat the same sounding tracks.
The image for this video was one I found rather startling. It's like a picture of Elvis Presley with the caption "Who Is He?"... the Beatles were extremely popular and influential.
When they first became noticed in North Ameica, with their two big hits "She Loves You" and "I Want to Hold Your Hand", I didn't think that much of them. They sounded like noise to me; the Number 2 hit at the time, prevented from reaching Number 1 by these two, "You Don't Own Me" by Lesley Gore - that sounded like music to me instead. That's probably because I was a child, not a teenager with angst and all that, at the time. But later on, they recorded hits I was able to admit were real music - "Michelle" and "Yesterday", for example. As for Elvis Presley... people of my era are familiar with the story about how the Ed Sullivan Show wouldn't show his hips gyrating as he sang, as that was considered too risque. I was reminded of that story when I watched Alizee Jacotey singing "J'en ai marre"... rather more interesting to watch in my provincial view.
I don’t know if you have ever heard the singer Tom Jones sing the song I’ll Never Fall in Love Again are you talk about incredible range and talent and no auto tune just great performance. I think he did it on the Dusty Springfield show in 1967. You want to be impressed he’s incredible.
Let me add that there is a "video" for "Lady Madonna" showing the Beatles working in the studio (actually on a *_different_* song), while "Savoy Truffle" has no dedicated "video"; you'll just find a video showing the cover of the album the song appears on, the "White Album", so no visual accompaniment for it!
The Beatles were the beach front for the British Invasion. The British Invasion created the industry of Rock n' Roll. The music virtually all of the musicians in those bands grew up listening to were on Staxx records. Howling Wolf, Muddy Waters, James Brown, and so many others were Staxx artists. British people were exposed to this music by African American GIs who spent time off in English Pubs. A lot of Pubs had pianos, sometimes music broke out. New music that was completely foreign in England, and made people want to dance. Who doesn't want an opportunity to dance during a war? English kids had access to music a lot of white American kids never did. I know it's foreign af in 2024, but folks can have a lot more fun together than apart. Humans and dogs have that in common.
It is difficult to select the best song or better album. One of my favorite albums is Rubber Soul. And to me “A Day in the life” song is superb. I also like funny and upbeat song like “Obladi Oblada” Here comes the Sun, Penny Lane, Let it Be, While my Guitar Gently Weeps, Eight Days a Week, Come Together, St Pepper’s Club Band.. the best band in the World. They revolutionized the music. It will never happen again.
Love your reaction. There are so many ways you can go at this point. I would recommend lead guitarist George Harrison's song, "While My Guitar Gently Weeps." (1968)
Yes, Paul is a knight. However, his name is Sir Paul McCartney - the title goes with the forename, not the surname. The rank of knight and the title ‘Sir’ predate the widespread use of surnames.
The Beatles "Something" and "While my guitar gently weeps" See also Beach Boys "God only knows" and Wouldn't it be nice pay attention to the lyrics!!!!!
The thing with "rock" is it can mean 1000 things. The "rock" is almost more like an attitude (and usually needs loud guitars/drums). They were one of the originators but messed around with most the genres (most the good rocks bands do). Same with r&b/hip-hop, all my favorite ones mess around with the genres a bit. Outkast, Kendrick, Frank Ocean etc etc. Still love my old school Stevie Wonder though.
Rock in the 1950's and 60's didn't mean heavy metal, like it seems to today. Artists like Carl Perkins and Buddy Holly are rock legends but listening to them today you'll think they're easy listening. The Beatles WERE a rock band.
I think Google/Wikipedia got it wrong defining them as a rock band. They're really a pop group who could do pretty much anything, or at least give it a good go. As Rick Ruben says, the The Beatles story of only 7 years recording together to totally transform music is the best proof of God we have.
To not know the Beatles were a rock band blows my mind. Maybe the term has been redefined since their time but in their own era the Beatles, Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, Beach Boys, etc are all rock.
Only a few decades ago, the term "rock" encompassed musical styles from practically the entire spectrum. There was hard rock, folk rock, prog rock, jazz rock, heavy metal, art rock, soft rock, country rock, rockabilly, etc etc etc. It was all some kind of "rock." There was a time when it seemed that popular music would continue to progress and expand. Suffice it to say, that most definitely did not happen.
I'm not sure it's fair to say this generation likes autotune. *Producers* like autotune because it fixed errors quickly. Nevermind that it takes all the humanity out of a performance. Grrr.
More like the industry likes Autotune so all they need is a face to pose and mouth and have some sort of sound come out of their mouths that the tech can convert into something resembling singing and playing. Twas ever thus but, in the old days, the pretty boys and girls who couldn't sing or play were fronts for professional session musicians. Even The Byrds, first records were played by the Wrecking Crew with Roger (Jim) McGuinn, who had been a very young session player, allowed to play and get very positive comments from The Crew. WC also played the Beach Boys records with Good Vibrations stitched together from scores of pieces of tape. Cinema did much the same with real singers voices mimed by the pretty star, unless Julie Andrews or Judy Garland. The really big thing The Beatles did was insist, as callow youths at their first session, that they did their own thing and were, effectively, prepared to knock their last chance on the head if they couldn't do their own thing.
If you want another band with amazing range of styles, listen to The Who -- they started as a rhythm and blues cover band, got into hard-driving rock as a "mod band," did some amazing psychedelic stuff after that, invented the rock opera, pioneered the effective use of synthesizers with songs like "Baba O'Reilly," and just kept on redefining themselves. And Roger Daltrey's vocals are amazing. He can croon and he can belt.
HEY, Princess! Great job on reacting to this song! If you want to see how they looked and sounded when they were your age. Get the live performances on the Ed Sullivan show in America. Great stuff!
Paul could sing extremely high and soft, he could roar like in this song, and he could do everything between. He was an amazingly talented musician. I think John and often George wrote better songs, but nobody could touch Paul for all around talent.
"The Beatles wasn't a rock & roll band...The Beatles was a miracle". (David Gilmour).
The Beatles are Gods gift to mankind ✌🏻❤️
Nevertheless, many young people, including musicians, yet don`t know them. Up to me, to get a copyright of any musical work, every composer should first pass a music history examination.
I would disagree. The Beatles are mankind's gift to the gods.

There isn't another band with such a diverse range of music. There isn't now and there wasn't then.
The Beatles. There was never anyone like them before and I doubt there will be anyone like them again. Just amazing.
Paul stayed up all night singing this until his voice was raw enough for his liking, he wanted it to sound like this.
Arguably one of the greatest vocal tracks in rock and roll. Paul McCartney practiced this one at Abbey Road Studios for a week to make sure he got it just the way he wanted it.
Congrats for your knowledge.
Paul was 26 singing this ...hes coming up 82 now !!
wow thats amazing the way youve put that. its actually insane!! peace bro
@@BelfastManUtdTherapyI saw him in Oz last year, he’s still rocking it
By far, Paul's best vocal. Paul had an incredible range. He could even scream in key.
Every song is a new surprise. Never predictable.❤❤❤
Paul's vocals and Ringo's drumming.
This song and Helter Skelter demonstrate Paul McCartney's mastery of vocal rock singing. Its almost hard to believe its the very same singer of other Beatles songs such as, "Blackbird", "Mother Nature's Son", "I Will", Yesterday, "And I Love Her", "Here, There and Everywhere", "I'll Follow the Sun", "Martha My Dear", "Fool On the Hill", "When I'm Sixty Four", etc. All of where he used a softer singing voice. In the 1977 Paul demonstrated this again with his soft singing of his hit single, "Mull of Kintyre", along with the "B" side rocker, "Girl's School". And similarly in his 1976 live version of his rock songs "Hi, Hi, Hi", and "Rockshow" where he still showed his rock voice. And the fact that even in his 70's and 80's Paul is still singing "Helter Skelter" is truly amazing.
Great comment. I love Paul's singing on Hi, Hi, Hi. Early Beatles belters of his are She's a Woman and Long Tall Sally. Also Paul's "So Bad" 1983 demonstrates another type of singing voice.
@@user-tv2bz2ci6b I like his singing on “Monkberry Moon Delight”.

You can hear all the influences the band had growing up and listening to early R&B and Rock-N-Roll and weaving it into their later albums.
The Beatles.........Oh yes mam, The Beatles.....Best Band EVER!!!
"Rock and roll music", "Roll over Beethoven", "I saw her standing there", "Twist and shouts": Beatles rock.
If you want to hear how they started heavy rock, try 'Helter Skelter', but make sure you you find the studio version.
Amazing voice, amazing arrangment, amazing song.

Helter Skelter even more hard rock than this was released in 1968.
I love when you break into an involuntary smile when something gets you. Keep up the wonderful reactions. They make me smile.
What a great song for Ringo, giving exactly what's needed and busting out with the right fill.
The Beatles did a lot of blues influenced music. This was one of the best.
And he kept his word to Linda, what a man! Thank you.

It will blow you away as much as this did. But in a very different way.
The imagination of those guys knew no bounds.
Yes, The Beatles are THE best band EVER!!!! By the way, I have seen Paul McCartney LIVE 5 times in my lifetime.
...a blast of a song - Paul apparently screamed a lot to warm up his voice, to sound really rough in the studio love the energy!!

one's best way to approach a new listening is with a completely open mind (and heart)... and you can find some favourite songs in any age range - many songs are universally applicable... yes - in short: they were a miracle 🌟
I used to so love this when I was a teenager. 💕💕
Have you done any early/Beatlemania Beatles yet? Stuff from 1963-65? They were a Pop phenomenon back then and their songs were incredible! You should check out 3 or 4 of them (because they are pretty short songs), to get a sense of that time. "She Loves You", "I Saw Her Standing There", "Can't Buy Me Love" and "Help!".
One of the best songs ever 😎
Robin Gibb actually does a great cover of this song in the Sgt Pepper movie!
OK, agree. But songs like this one, don`t accept covers of any kind. Maybe the version of "With a Little Help from my Friends" by Joe Cocker at Woodstock, can be acceptable due to its originality. Also "Helter Skelter" by U2, or "Something" by Tonny Bennett.
@@AAK1954 - I think we can agree that one can like and enjoy a cover even though it may not be as good. The one I always think of is “Got To Get You Into My Life” by Earth, Wind & Fire - that’s about as good as you can get for a Beatles cover!
@@doplinger1 Thanks for reminding me, I had forgotten that version. I'll listen it again later (right now... barbecue). Best regards from Argentina.
Even better when it’s heard surrounded by the treasure trove of wildly varied kinds of great tunes on this perfectly cycled masterpiece of an album.
Paul McCartney can really belt them when he puts his mind to it. His first solo album has a good belt on the song Maybe I'm Amazed, in which he plays all the instruments.
Paul McCartney's passion in this melodic number is just exceptional.

On the Abbey Road album cover, Paul McCartney is seen barefoot. This began a rumour that he had died. There was a lot of concern by fans at the time.
@itsprincess- The Beatles are by far the greatest group ever. Paul killed it on Oh Darling and this is one of there best songs. I wouldnt say you could label them really mainly a rock group bc when they first came to the U.S in 64 they did alot of pop stuff with songs like she loves you and I want to hold your hand. Only later did they get into stuff like rock, Psychedelic and so fourth. Check out there song Hey Jude.
Their songs in 1963/64, '65 and ''66 WERE called "Rock n' Roll" songs by other artists at the time that didn't always appeal to most teenagers and mostly loved by our parents, were "Pop" songs (which is actually just short for "POPULAR" anything you heard on the radio and which sold well on records were "Popular songs" SO even then you could also say they were a "pop/ rock n' roll group. Music in the '50s (when rock n' roll started creeping in) and '60s was a combination of genres, it wasn't so categorized as rigidly as it seems to be now. That's why the Beatles AND other groups in the '60s were each a mixture of styles. I know because I was a teenager during that period and the radio or our record player was ALWAYS on in our house when I was growing up. PLUS my Dad was a musician who played 4 instruments, so I was exposed to all sorts of music styles from the day I was born.
Another great track with Paul on vocals is Lovely Rita. He wrote this one about an attractive meter maid (they used to write parking tickets).
A Rock Band ? Try 'Helter Skelter' by the Beatles ( and then the cover by Dana Fuchs - Both brilliant. )
Seeing you react to the Beatles; is so precious and timeless every lover of music has the same truly soulful feeling as we had in the 60's as we waited in aww and disbelief for how was it possible to make original music so different from anyone else before plus not to repeat the same sounding tracks.
Ohio guy here back in the 60's ! Anybody watching and listening when the Beatles cartoon show came on with a new hit?😊
The image for this video was one I found rather startling. It's like a picture of Elvis Presley with the caption "Who Is He?"... the Beatles were extremely popular and influential.
When they first became noticed in North Ameica, with their two big hits "She Loves You" and "I Want to Hold Your Hand", I didn't think that much of them. They sounded like noise to me; the Number 2 hit at the time, prevented from reaching Number 1 by these two, "You Don't Own Me" by Lesley Gore - that sounded like music to me instead. That's probably because I was a child, not a teenager with angst and all that, at the time. But later on, they recorded hits I was able to admit were real music - "Michelle" and "Yesterday", for example. As for Elvis Presley... people of my era are familiar with the story about how the Ed Sullivan Show wouldn't show his hips gyrating as he sang, as that was considered too risque. I was reminded of that story when I watched Alizee Jacotey singing "J'en ai marre"... rather more interesting to watch in my provincial view.
All this music you listen to rock and roll!
And I'd suggest Let It Be, Across the Universe, I've Just Seen a Face, Yesterday, Tomorrow Never Knows and Yer Blues.
I don’t know if you have ever heard the singer Tom Jones sing the song I’ll Never Fall in Love Again are you talk about incredible range and talent and no auto tune just great performance. I think he did it on the Dusty Springfield show in 1967. You want to be impressed he’s incredible.
Two Beatles songs that seldom get reacted to, I love to see, "Lady Madonna" and "Savoy Truffle"
Let me add that there is a "video" for "Lady Madonna" showing the Beatles working in the studio (actually on a *_different_* song), while "Savoy Truffle" has no dedicated "video"; you'll just find a video showing the cover of the album the song appears on, the "White Album", so no visual accompaniment for it!
The Beatles were the beach front for the British Invasion. The British Invasion created the industry of Rock n' Roll. The music virtually all of the musicians in those bands grew up listening to were on Staxx records. Howling Wolf, Muddy Waters, James Brown, and so many others were Staxx artists. British people were exposed to this music by African American GIs who spent time off in English Pubs. A lot of Pubs had pianos, sometimes music broke out. New music that was completely foreign in England, and made people want to dance. Who doesn't want an opportunity to dance during a war? English kids had access to music a lot of white American kids never did.
I know it's foreign af in 2024, but folks can have a lot more fun together than apart. Humans and dogs have that in common.
It is difficult to select the best song or better album.
One of my favorite albums is Rubber Soul. And to me “A Day in the life” song is superb. I also like funny and upbeat song like “Obladi Oblada”
Here comes the Sun, Penny Lane, Let it Be, While my Guitar Gently Weeps, Eight Days a Week, Come Together, St Pepper’s Club Band.. the best band in the World. They revolutionized the music. It will never happen again.
Love your reaction.
There are so many ways you can go at this point. I would recommend lead guitarist George Harrison's song, "While My Guitar Gently Weeps." (1968)
Listen to the original, then listen to the tribute version performed by Tom Petty, Prince, Dhani Harrison, Jeff Lynne, and Steve Winwood.
FYI Paul is Sir McCarthy because he is English and Queen Elizabeth made him an actual Knight.
Yes, Paul is a knight. However, his name is Sir Paul McCartney - the title goes with the forename, not the surname. The rank of knight and the title ‘Sir’ predate the widespread use of surnames.
The Beatles "Something" and "While my guitar gently weeps"
See also Beach Boys "God only knows" and Wouldn't it be nice pay attention to the lyrics!!!!!
If you like the Beatles there is a movie called Across the Universe. The movie is propelled by their music.
Next Beatles song.....Yesterday
The thing with "rock" is it can mean 1000 things. The "rock" is almost more like an attitude (and usually needs loud guitars/drums). They were one of the originators but messed around with most the genres (most the good rocks bands do). Same with r&b/hip-hop, all my favorite ones mess around with the genres a bit. Outkast, Kendrick, Frank Ocean etc etc. Still love my old school Stevie Wonder though.
Try Queen, they'll rock your socks off ! 😅
Rock in the 1950's and 60's didn't mean heavy metal, like it seems to today. Artists like Carl Perkins and Buddy Holly are rock legends but listening to them today you'll think they're easy listening. The Beatles WERE a rock band.
Greetings from Mexico
What a great song
Literally
I think Google/Wikipedia got it wrong defining them as a rock band. They're really a pop group who could do pretty much anything, or at least give it a good go. As Rick Ruben says, the The Beatles story of only 7 years recording together to totally transform music is the best proof of God we have.
To not know the Beatles were a rock band blows my mind. Maybe the term has been redefined since their time but in their own era the Beatles, Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, Beach Boys, etc are all rock.
Only a few decades ago, the term "rock" encompassed musical styles from practically the entire spectrum. There was hard rock, folk rock, prog rock, jazz rock, heavy metal, art rock, soft rock, country rock, rockabilly, etc etc etc. It was all some kind of "rock." There was a time when it seemed that popular music would continue to progress and expand. Suffice it to say, that most definitely did not happen.
The Beatles - Revolution. Official Artist Channel. This is hard rock/rock and roll.
What a band!! All songs soooo different!
Your beautiful face goes perfectly with good music.
🤍🤍🤍
Those 'OOHs he put in there, were a tribute to Little Richard, ya know eh?
One of Pauls best song
todays generation likes "autotune" singers & push button music !! ... once upon a time ago - people CARED about music !!
I'm not sure it's fair to say this generation likes autotune. *Producers* like autotune because it fixed errors quickly. Nevermind that it takes all the humanity out of a performance. Grrr.
More like the industry likes Autotune so all they need is a face to pose and mouth and have some sort of sound come out of their mouths that the tech can convert into something resembling singing and playing. Twas ever thus but, in the old days, the pretty boys and girls who couldn't sing or play were fronts for professional session musicians. Even The Byrds, first records were played by the Wrecking Crew with Roger (Jim) McGuinn, who had been a very young session player, allowed to play and get very positive comments from The Crew. WC also played the Beach Boys records with Good Vibrations stitched together from scores of pieces of tape. Cinema did much the same with real singers voices mimed by the pretty star, unless Julie Andrews or Judy Garland. The really big thing The Beatles did was insist, as callow youths at their first session, that they did their own thing and were, effectively, prepared to knock their last chance on the head if they couldn't do their own thing.
Completely agree. There was a time when singers could really sing.
If you want another band with amazing range of styles, listen to The Who -- they started as a rhythm and blues cover band, got into hard-driving rock as a "mod band," did some amazing psychedelic stuff after that, invented the rock opera, pioneered the effective use of synthesizers with songs like "Baba O'Reilly," and just kept on redefining themselves. And Roger Daltrey's vocals are amazing. He can croon and he can belt.
HEY, Princess! Great job on reacting to this song! If you want to see how they looked and sounded when they were your age. Get the live performances on the Ed Sullivan show in America. Great stuff!
For me the Rolling Stones are the greatest rock band. The Beatles have more melodious songs and are more diverse in their styles
Check out Elvis Presley Live at Los Vegas 1970 Love me tender .You have never seen anything like this . Please who could do this today ?
the full album listen
Paul could sing extremely high and soft, he could roar like in this song, and he could do everything between. He was an amazingly talented musician. I think John and often George wrote better songs, but nobody could touch Paul for all around talent.
Don't Bring Me Down sung by John Lennon on Apple rooftop will wow you. Also, A Day in the Life.
As good as this song is, in Beatles World, it's really in the bottom half of their library.
paul can sing ballard to hard rock,,,not many can do that,, maybe one of the best male singers after all YNWA
The Beatles were an everything band.
