This track shows why they were/are the best pop group of all time. No one had their depth and range. No one. I don’t care how many times the Rolling Stones go on tour after they are washed up. Beatles are the best.
The Stones are a great band with many iconic hits, but they aren't the Beatles. That's not to shame them. Nobody else could ever be the Beatles either.
Yes, I do agree. Growing up I always had the argument over who is the best the Stones or the Beatles. It still goes on today you know and I'm still stating and always will that the Beatles were, are and always will be the greatest rock band in the world. 🌎✌️❤️✝️🕊️🎸🎻🎸🥁🇬🇧🍏🌀👀
I totally agree. Yo viví la época de Kennedy, King (Lutter), Gagarin y la llegada a la luna, pero sobre todo viví la época de los Beatles. Mi vida ha valido la pena. God bless you Beatles.
Funny thing about the bridge - John is singing on top of three part vocal harmonies. Studio magic. John is singing along with backing vocals from John, Paul, and George. And suddenly those 3-part backing vocals are no longer in stereo, but all center.
Wow, just got the shivers, ❤ I was 14 years old and my boyfriend was 15 years old. Haven’t heard this song in years. We will be 55 years married in September this year. 😊
Another element of the band was the fact that virtually all the songs were coming from within the group, and they had such variety and quality, not to mention quantity. No other group could come close, then or now.
Their incredible harmonies are often overlooked because they had SO many other talents and hits and their range was unmatched not to mention John and Paul genius song writing skills. They wrote many of their endless hits. They were a once in a lifetime group that has never been touched by any group, British or American. They changed the entire music industry in a way NO other group has ever, or will ever do again.
Their voices blended so beautifully on ballads. And this version, one can hear them separately which is incredible and shows how amazing the technology has become.
Thank you! I had to hold back tears when I heard those three voices unlocked for the first time. I've been listening to this song since I was 12 years old back in 1964. I wish the professionals would do it this way. Thanks for listening!
What makes this band unique is that they had an unequaled blend of personnel talent to evolve and still produce outstanding songs in various musical genres beyond rock and roll. The Beatles will be remembered for centuries to come.
@frankmarrero7 088 absolutely! They created far too many awesome songs to be able to have just a couple of favourites. Mine changes all the time too !! 😅
Thank you! It is usually difficult to hear the middle harmony part in three part harmony. More so, it is difficult for a singer to sing the middle part but George handles it well. Splitting the three parts away from each other and giving each their own space helps to distinguish that middle part. Thanks for listening and commenting!
I love this song! The harmonies are so amazing! No one can harmonize like The Beatles! The Beatles music lives on! The Beatles were real! Nothing fake about them!
There is a famous clip of George watching his younger self, maybe nine years after the performance, admiring the greatness of the song. He also mentioned he gave away the guitar he's playing in the video.
How beautiful these earlier Beatles songs sound to our ears. I remember that in the movie "A Hard Day's Night" only the melody was played - when the desperate Ringo went for a lonely walk by the Thames River and the rest were looking for him because he was about to appear on TV. Regards, Tom from Poland
The AHDN version was known by the title "Ringo's Theme" (it was released as a single, but failed to chart). A trifle ironic, seeing he was the only one not to have sung on the original!
That song takes me back to the early 1960s when I was a toddler. My uncles had just bought the album and played it on the record player while my sister and I listened. (We also danced, as little kids do, to some of the faster songs.) This Boy has always sounded beautiful to me. I remember listening to it surrounded by loved ones who are all gone now. I miss them a lot. Am crying right now. 😭 Great music is powerful in that way.
I was 8 or 10'ish at the time. Remember listening to this mesmerized and loving the harmonies as well as the song. Takes me to a very special place I long for and wish so much to be at again. 😢😢😢
If you think of the songs that were Beatles b-sides, just like this great track which was b-side to I Want To Hold Your Hand. Other's included You Can't Do That, She's A Woman, Rain, the mighty I Am The Walrus, Revolution, Don't Let Me Down. It's just breathtaking the sheer volume of great songs the Beatles recorded and released in such a short period of time. The Beatles music is timeless and therefore it will live on forever. ✌️♥️
Always liked this song. And, I need you, If i fell, Anna, I shoulda known Better, PS I Love You, of course the beautiful And I Love Her Early Beatles were great
These guys came along at the perfect time with the perfect music. Also all three could sing. People from every country and culture lived their songs. Individuals like this only come around every 100 years!
OMG I still love them just as much as I did back then. Nobody who didn’t experience Beatlemania couldn’t imagine just how much everyone loved them and how they really did change the world in music and culture. I still haven’t seen any other musicians since then that could compare in popularity.
I have a great story about Lennon. Me and 3 other guys got into the Pigman Ranch compound in September 64, where they were spending a brief day and night after the tour of the USA. Reed Pigman who owned the ranch outside of Alton, Mo., up here in the Ozarks, owned the plane that the Beatles chartered for that USA tour, and he asked them to stay Saturday, and that night, before going on to NY for a private show, and back to England. We lived about 35 miles away and heard about the unplanned stay of the four, by way of TV8 in Jonesboro, which had gotten word of the group flying into the nearby Walnut Ridge airport, a former US airbase that could land larger planes. From there they took a smaller plane to the ranch, which had its own private airstrip. We got into the ranch by evading the main gate guard and coming in on the side where it was unsecured. We came up to a farmhouse and very large swimming pool and there encountered the Beatles, their manager, and a guard, who was about to tackle us before Lennon called him off. Standing inside the pool, still in swim trunks and a sheer long sleeved shirt with ruffled cuffs, was Lennon. He asked to come over and we did....we talked for about 30 minutes or so and he was so engaging and nice to us.....Ringo and Paul only gave us a brief glance or two. Lennon was a man of the world, a very self-secure person who was interested in all types of people, things, and places. To me the others were just run of the mill people. I will always remember how a man who was probably the most famous in the world at that time, showed kindness and made the day for four kids from Hardy, Arkansas.
Thank you for sharing this story about your personal encounter with The Beatles. If I might make a suggestion: WRITE DOWN an 'official' account of this encounter, including every specific you can remember about it including the details of the conversation and what all was said and by whom. I've made this same suggestion to Liverpudlians I encountered online who knew them back home before they moved to London and who had personal encounter stories to tell as well. I think such stories should be preserved for posterity somehow, even beyond my appreciation for reading yours here in this comment section. If I had a half hour--with any of them--myself now I think there are certain things I would want them to know and hear: 1. My personal THANK YOU for their music-making. I became a musician myself, in part because of them. Their music inhabits my mind, my musicianship, my sense of melody, my own songwriting practice, my lyric-writing practice, my sense of harmonic progression (chord choices and sequences), and of course my childhood memories. 2. I would want to ask them how, despite their success and their willingness to 'sell out' (John's words about the band) for the sake of it, they maintained their ability to go back to being such grounded, down-to-Earth people when the pressure isn't on them to be celebrities and 'important' people. I would guess one answer might be their having had kids who didn't care one bit who they'd been as Beatles. Kids are a great leveler that way. Also, my impression is that Liverpudlians in general are very down-to-Earth folks. 3. I would ask them, surely with their knowing and understanding the power of music to captivate the emotions and imaginations, if they perceive their own songs the same way(s) that their audience does. Can they listen to them, having created them, and still appreciate them as art the way we do? 4. I think I woud ask John specifically what he wanted most out of life and what he found in it that gave him some satisfaction and contentment. I think I would also say that I was sorry that he had to grow up in a broken home and had lost both his mom (as Paul also did) and his good friend Stuart so early on. 5. I think I would want to tell all of them that I hope my country, the USA, had been good to them as Brits. I hope my countrymen had genuinely treated them well and not just because of money or celbrity. 6. I think I would ask all of them what they most want Americans to know about British people that we maybe don't already know. I would also like to ask them about the British 'class system' since I have apparently run afoul of that once or twice in my life because it really doesn't exist here in America and I was rather unaware of it and unprepared for it as a mentality beforehand.. 7. I would want them to know that as a Pianist I have learned their songs by playing along, as a Pianist, with their recordings. There's no better way to learn songs than by being a member of the band yourself. 🙂 8. I would like to ask them about specific details of specific songs. 9. I would like to ask them about the songwriting process. Pauls's statements about that in recent decades have shocked me with how similar his compositional process is to my own (I'm a composer/arranger as well) and I found this rather heartening that I've been 'doing it right.' We both often improvise as a place to start and then grab onto something that comes up and seems promising and then work with that from there.
So many rightly focus on the Beatles after Rubber Soul and Sgt Peppers , The White Album etc but it is songs like this that created Beatlemania and led to the legends they were and are.
@@AlanAshton-mi3yy I agree. I love their old songs! It made them the force that they were to climb the charts and start the British musical revolution!
I always wondered what is my favourite Beatles song... This song is to me the epitome of The Beatles.. Simple yet convincing... Yes, maybe my favourite Beatles song..
He was a worldly and interesting person....he showed that side of him to us 4 poor teens from the Ozarks when he took time to talk with us as the other two who were there ignored us. I will always believe he had a divine connection and knew his fate.
It's like I'm listening to another song. Or rather, it's like the Beatles came and sang it another day and they did it better than they did themselves... Bravo to the sound engineer and many thanks! Bravo!!!
This Boy was released on my eighth birthday. I love the harmonies. My mom bought the Parlophone record in England for my late sister Elaine and she entertained her girl friends with both sides on our Seabreeze portable record player. Such awesome memories. Rest In Peace Elaine.
That boy took my love away Though he'll regret it someday But this boy wants you back again That boy isn't good for you Though he may want you too This boy wants you back again Oh, and this boy would be happy Just to love you, but, oh, my That boy won't be happy Till he's seen you cry This boy wouldn't mind the pain Would always feel the same If this boy gets you back again This boy This boy This boy
The remixer used a very smart method -- when the camera is in closeup with one of the Beatles, the volume on that Beatle's voice goes just a little louder, so that it's like you were really standing slightly closer to that Beatle than to the others. Then when the camera moves to another Beatle, the voice of the Beatle in that new camera shot goes a little louder. Creates a cleverly realistic simulation of how it would sound if one were standing first next to one, then next to another, then next to the third vocalist. The Beatles were unbelievably great, and this remix somehow lets one hear all three parts of the harmony more clearly. John, Paul, and George all singing, all amazing. And those were not standard harmonies. Such subtle variations.
They always had to check that Ringos microphone was on . Seems to be a constant challenge. On the final I want to be your man it's fine for the first verse and chorus , then it goes off for the rest of the song!
Amazing! We will never see another Beatles. I am SO glad to have been around to witness this. However, I must say their later stuff did not measure up. The early songss were perfect in every way. Brilliant, yet simple.
昨日ビートルズ赤盤２０２３を買ってきました。パソコンに取り込んでからＵＳＢに移して 愛車のＢＭＷで聞いています。ジョンの最高の歌声を聞いて最高の気分です。 ビートルズのバラード曲は素晴らしい。我が家の壁にはアビーロードの大きなポスターです。 ビートルズは永遠のアイドルです。７２才のビートルズファンより。From Japan
This was my first Beatles album, I think I was twelve and though other songs on the album seemed to be played more on the radio, this was my favorite. I would sit in the living room by myself and play this on my parents huge stereo, no 8 track, no cassette, just a huge stereo cabinet, probably 6 feet long. That was the style back in the day.
Absolutely breathtaking❤ This Boy transcends that special time and place where it gave me goosebumps every time I listened to their amazing harmonies. These four guys from Liverpool were pure magic. For those of you who were too young or not even born yet, im sorry you missed it cause it will never happen again. For those who were actually there to experience Beatlemania, wasn't life GRAND? Thank you for sharing and thank you John Paul George and Ringo. Special shout out to Pete Best for his early but very important contributions. You will never be forgotten ❤ 0:000:00
You can hear strains of 50's vocal harmony group style and doo wop stylings. The melody alone is fantastic .... then the harmonies so tight you need a crowbar to seperate them. Paul is singng a completely different song it seems! George fills out the middle perfectly with warmth. And John is at his most soulful ... when he takes that solo break ... WOW!
Amazing. How you were able to separate each individual singer and spread their voices over the stereo picture. Love it. This is the way Beatles remixes should sound.
Thank you! It's a long meticulous process that I do with a $70 software program available on the web. This recording would be propelled into the stratosphere if the professionals would mix it the way I did with their state-of-their-art equipment/software. Thanks for listening!
Although, I was quite young, when "The Beatles," were at their 'Prime,' I still remember Dancing and Singing to their Hit Songs. This Particular Song "This Boy," is NOT One I was familiar with. However, I ,LOVE IT!! I love the Musical Tune, the Lyrical Storyline, and the Amazing Voices, especially the excellent Harmonies. Thank You so much, for "Highlighting" this Great "Beatles" Song. 😉🎙💖 🎸 🎶 ❤ 🎵🥁 💙 🎹 🥰 🎵 🎸💜 🎹 👏🏻👏🏻
Absolutely fantastic. Can you imagine years ago trying to pick out all the separate harmonies, especially George's. It took lots of careful listening, and we did our best!
That was so amazing all three singing together and that did not happen that often. Thanks so much.
Thank you for listening!
❤ Se pasan de lanza, que gran sonido ❤🎉🎉🎉❤
This track shows why they were/are the best pop group of all time. No one had their depth and range. No one. I don’t care how many times the Rolling Stones go on tour after they are washed up. Beatles are the best.
I'm a first generation Beatles' fan and your statement is proven by the many generations that followed agree with you! Thanks for listening!
Oh for goodness sake, why do you have to put one down if you prefer the other. I don’t understand the supposed proof. I enjoy both
The Stones are a great band with many iconic hits, but they aren't the Beatles. That's not to shame them. Nobody else could ever be the Beatles either.
Yes, I do agree. Growing up I always had the argument over who is the best the Stones or the Beatles. It still goes on today you know and I'm still stating and always will that the Beatles were, are and always will be the greatest rock band in the world.
🌎✌️❤️✝️🕊️🎸🎻🎸🥁🇬🇧🍏🌀👀
@@SilverHammer1969 Everyone knows it was the Beach Boys... 😉
This song is 60 years old and there's still little nuances to be heard. Such is the magic of The Beatles. Thanks so much for these posts.☮❤💙
Thank you, it's my pleasure. I've been listening since 1964 and like you, I'm amazed that I can still hear new sounds!
When this song is a thousand years old....the kids of the day will still be singing it....✌🏻
I’m now 75 ...and THE BEATLES are so fantastic to listen to...ever since 1962 when I was 12yrs old..✌🏻💙...
I count myself lucky. I was only a teenager when they came to America.
There will never be another group like the beatles pure class 😊
John also wrote this showing he was as good a singer as he was a songwriter. Genius.
I’m listening with my headphones full blast and just read your comment. 🥂
Happy birthday, John.
I lived during the time of Kennedy, King, Gagarin and the moon landing, but most of all, I lived in the time of The Beatles. I've had a good life.
I totally agree. Yo viví la época de Kennedy, King (Lutter), Gagarin y la llegada a la luna, pero sobre todo viví la época de los Beatles. Mi vida ha valido la pena. God bless you Beatles.
Still having a good life.
Me too
I was 12 when the Beatles burst upon the scene. They were fabulous then & I will still listen to them any time.
Lennon at the bridge. Beautiful.
Magic - just magic!
An amazing mix of emotions packed into one word❤
Greatest voice in rock and roll. It is breath-taking when he hits that bridge.
Funny thing about the bridge - John is singing on top of three part vocal harmonies. Studio magic. John is singing along with backing vocals from John, Paul, and George. And suddenly those 3-part backing vocals are no longer in stereo, but all center.
But double tracked.
John's voice is beautiful. So powerful.
You were an excellent, singer, John
It's hard to believe he really didn't like his own voice. 😊
And an excellent songwriter.
Yes, mine too. I'm 73 and I was smitten by them as soon as I heard them and their harmonies are amazing..Still feels the same..
Yes, he was.
Frigging awesome 🤩
If this doesn’t give you goosebumps when listening with headphones nothing will. Wow sensational work on the remix.
Thank you! It is indeed a pleasure listening to this with headphones!
I’m listening full blast with my headphones and just read your comment. 😁🥂
Wow, just got the shivers, ❤ I was 14 years old and my boyfriend was 15 years old. Haven’t heard this song in years. We will be 55 years married in September this year. 😊
@patbarbour808: That is fabulous ! Time is flying now.
It does
Another element of the band was the fact that virtually all the songs were coming from within the group, and they had such variety and quality, not to mention quantity. No other group could come close, then or now.
Once you start listening to it you can’t stop.
Exactly. I had it at 179 or better but why quibble
The Beatles...... so proud to be young when this music was performed.
Their incredible harmonies are often overlooked because they had SO many other talents and hits and their range was unmatched not to mention John and Paul genius song writing skills. They wrote many of their endless hits. They were a once in a lifetime group that has never been touched by any group, British or American. They changed the entire music industry in a way NO other group has ever, or will ever do again.
Spot on my friend 😊
Their voices blended so beautifully on ballads. And this version, one can hear them separately which is incredible and shows how amazing the technology has become.
Thank you! I had hopes the official remix had been done this way. Thanks for listening!
@@britt2001bthis is the first time I've truly heard George mixed correctly. Thanks
@@nnneptune Thank you and thanks for listening!
Oh so amazing. Maybe they will put a man on the moon someday
@@daveyvane I've heard that the Moon is plasma. If so, then landing on it is impossible.
Pure…wonderful….and genius !
Don't forget Paul's bass line. A perfect compliment to the harmonies.
Really clear vocals. You can really tell who is singing which melody line. Nicely done.
Thank you! I had to hold back tears when I heard those three voices unlocked for the first time. I've been listening to this song since I was 12 years old back in 1964. I wish the professionals would do it this way. Thanks for listening!
Great harmonies no one these days can compete with the Beatles.
I’m 69 and everyday I listen to The Beatles! ❣️🎶❣️
76!!!!
I listen every day and night, always find new odds and sods being doing this now for over 54 years. 71.
You're not alone my friend, I'm 64 (😂) and do exactly the same. 😂 The Beatles are beyond comparison !

And will be listened to for centuries to come. I was born in 1951. How lucky I am to come of age with the Beatles.
One of my 180 all-time favorite Beatles' songs.
Yes, my favorite Beatles song changes every 5 minutes!
@@frankmarrero7088 😂 So true.
@frankmarrero7 088 absolutely! They created far too many awesome songs to be able to have just a couple of favourites. Mine changes all the time too !! 😅
I see your point but this is my all time favourite one.
I love the middle eight where John's voice cracks just a little bit when he pours his heart out into the song.
Good stuff.
Yep.
The harmony between them is amazing and John wow what a voice
John had such a nice voice and they harmonize so well together. Miss those guys...
Yes he did
They were the best ever no one comes near 😊
Another masterful production! I could always pick out John and Paul's voice in this song, but never George's until this.
Thank you! It is usually difficult to hear the middle harmony part in three part harmony. More so, it is difficult for a singer to sing the middle part but George handles it well. Splitting the three parts away from each other and giving each their own space helps to distinguish that middle part. Thanks for listening and commenting!

REMEMBER IT WELL BACK THEN, SO IM YOUNG AGAIN 😮😅
This is one of my favorite beatles songs! thank you!
Thank you, it's my pleasure. Thanks so much for listening!
The way they could harmonize 3 completely different voices is simply awesome.
One of fav Fab Four's tunes.
me too, just watched hard days night,forgot how good their early stuff was.saw it in 1964 1st
Clean, simple, yet elegant and emotional. Very crisp audio, thank you. Another Beatles classic.
My pleasure. Thank you for listening!
I was 16 years old...the good old days. They don't make 'em (the days or the songs) like this any more.
Harmonies are just amazing !
Very underrated song
What an energy 60 years later !
They were really fantastic
Greatest band in the world
The best era to grow up in
The absolute BEST. Never anyone or any group before or after can compare
This is still one of my all time favorites!! Beatles' harmonies cannot be beat! No pun intended! Hahaha!
There is a famous clip of George watching his younger self, maybe nine years after the performance, admiring the greatness of the song. He also mentioned he gave away the guitar he's playing in the video.
He misremembered about the guitar. John's was stolen shortly after this was filmed, so George gave him his and eventually got another one.
What an awesome job re-mixing this beautiful gem of a track!
Thanks for listening
wow
This song shows us what great is luv this song see them all together is magic to me live on beatles in my heart peace to all listening❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

@@zonszein And his unmistakable Liverpudlian accent!
Wow. Really miss George and John’s voices. Thank you beautiful Beatles.

Thank you for sharing this story about your personal encounter with The Beatles. If I might make a suggestion: WRITE DOWN an 'official' account of this encounter, including every specific you can remember about it including the details of the conversation and what all was said and by whom.

I think I would also say that I was sorry that he had to grow up in a broken home and had lost both his mom (as Paul also did) and his good friend Stuart so early on.
5. I think I would want to tell all of them that I hope my country, the USA, had been good to them as Brits. I hope my countrymen had genuinely treated them well and not just because of money or celbrity.

So many rightly focus on the Beatles after Rubber Soul and Sgt Peppers , The White Album etc but it is songs like this that created Beatlemania and led to the legends they were and are.
@@AlanAshton-mi3yy I agree. I love their old songs! It made them the force that they were to climb the charts and start the British musical revolution!
This level of musician ship is what we saw on the first US album...and it only got better
I always wondered what is my favourite Beatles song... This song is to me the epitome of The Beatles.. Simple yet convincing... Yes, maybe my favourite Beatles song..
Beautiful song by the greatest of all time! Great drumming too by Ringo, he lets the harmonies and rhythm patterns shine!
Not enough love songs being sung and written by musicians today. Talentless noises no Romance. But then you don’t get that with online dating.
The pinnacle of human achievement is here! So many more songs too! GOAT! GOAT!!!!!
Wonderful! John's voice at the center; Paul's at the right, George is on the left channel. Sounds amazing!
Yes! Thank you!
Im 71 and still in love with John.
They were and are still fab! I am so glad I was there to experience the 60s
I just replay over n over. John Lennon voice arrrrrrrgh beautiful
He was a worldly and interesting person....he showed that side of him to us 4 poor teens from the Ozarks when he took time to talk with us as the other two who were there ignored us. I will always believe he had a divine connection and knew his fate.
It's like I'm listening to another song. Or rather, it's like the Beatles came and sang it another day and they did it better than they did themselves... Bravo to the sound engineer and many thanks! Bravo!!!
Thanks, glad you're listening!
3 Part harmony, very enchanting indeed👍👍👍. This is one of my favorite songs by THE BEATLES.
OMG .......LENNONS VOCALS ARE INCREDIBLE IN THUS SONG!
This Boy was released on my eighth birthday. I love the harmonies. My mom bought the Parlophone record in England for my late sister Elaine and she entertained her girl friends with both sides on our Seabreeze portable record player. Such awesome memories. Rest In Peace Elaine.
That boy took my love away
Though he'll regret it someday
But this boy wants you back again
That boy isn't good for you
Though he may want you too
This boy wants you back again
Oh, and this boy would be happy
Just to love you, but, oh, my
That boy won't be happy
Till he's seen you cry
This boy wouldn't mind the pain
Would always feel the same
If this boy gets you back again
This boy
This boy
This boy
The remixer used a very smart method -- when the camera is in closeup with one of the Beatles, the volume on that Beatle's voice goes just a little louder, so that it's like you were really standing slightly closer to that Beatle than to the others. Then when the camera moves to another Beatle, the voice of the Beatle in that new camera shot goes a little louder. Creates a cleverly realistic simulation of how it would sound if one were standing first next to one, then next to another, then next to the third vocalist. The Beatles were unbelievably great, and this remix somehow lets one hear all three parts of the harmony more clearly. John, Paul, and George all singing, all amazing. And those were not standard harmonies. Such subtle variations.
Great catch! Really enhances the clip!
Loved it… great to hear the separation - nothing quite like The Beatles vocal blend!
Great! I'm glad you did! Their voices blended magically! Thanks for listening!
They always had to check that Ringos microphone was on . Seems to be a constant challenge. On the final I want to be your man it's fine for the first verse and chorus , then it goes off for the rest of the song!
John vocal leader is the best
Love John's vocal
Amazing! We will never see another Beatles. I am SO glad to have been around to witness this. However, I must say their later stuff did not measure up. The early songss were perfect in every way. Brilliant, yet simple.
昨日ビートルズ赤盤２０２３を買ってきました。パソコンに取り込んでからＵＳＢに移して
愛車のＢＭＷで聞いています。ジョンの最高の歌声を聞いて最高の気分です。
ビートルズのバラード曲は素晴らしい。我が家の壁にはアビーロードの大きなポスターです。
ビートルズは永遠のアイドルです。７２才のビートルズファンより。From Japan
One of my ALL time favorite tracks. EVERYTHING about it
There's a video on RUclips of George watching this tape and it's so sweet! About Dark Horse era.
I've seen that! George seemed mesmerized as if he'd forgot all about it! Thanks for listening!
@@britt2001bMy total pleasure.
Awesome clarity to the vocals. You can tell and hear who is doing what.
AMAZING 3 PART HARMONY
This was my first Beatles album, I think I was twelve and though other songs on the album seemed to be played more on the radio, this was my favorite. I would sit in the living room by myself and play this on my parents huge stereo, no 8 track, no cassette, just a huge stereo cabinet, probably 6 feet long. That was the style back in the day.
Automatic mood Boost!
If anyone is wondering why, The Beatles were and have been so popular?
Their music straight up makes you happy 😃
Johns voice Is pure ROCK.
A band that was innovative and extremely talented and way ahead of their time greatest ever period
Absolutely breathtaking❤ This Boy transcends that special time and place where it gave me goosebumps every time I listened to their amazing harmonies. These four guys from Liverpool were pure magic. For those of you who were too young or not even born yet, im sorry you missed it cause it will never happen again. For those who were actually there to experience Beatlemania, wasn't life GRAND? Thank you for sharing and thank you John Paul George and Ringo. Special shout out to Pete Best for his early but very important contributions. You will never be forgotten ❤ 0:00 0:00
My pleasure, thank you for listening!
I love them, always have and always will ♾️ 🙏
Good job with John's baritone voice reaching for the high note.
Great mix to hear John so clearly! Amazing job by John~
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you!
❤❤❤❤❤the beatles ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you soooo much. Probably one of my favourite Beatle tunes (along with about 50 other songs of theirs, of course).
Thank you for listening! Same here, this is one of my favorites among many favorites!
You can hear strains of 50's vocal harmony group style and doo wop stylings. The melody alone is fantastic .... then the harmonies so tight you need a crowbar to seperate them. Paul is singng a completely different song it seems! George fills out the middle perfectly with warmth. And John is at his most soulful ... when he takes that solo break ... WOW!
Listen to that piano brilliant and so was the song Beatles for ever ❤ 😊
AWESOME!!!
Amazing. How you were able to separate each individual singer and spread their voices over the stereo picture. Love it. This is the way Beatles remixes should sound.
Thank you! It's a long meticulous process that I do with a $70 software program available on the web. This recording would be propelled into the stratosphere if the professionals would mix it the way I did with their state-of-their-art equipment/software. Thanks for listening!
And this was the "B" side or flip side to I Want to Hold Your Hand. IMO just as good, if not better. More depth to it.
A gem for the ages. I was young and foolish in those days. We took a wrong turn somewhere it seems.
Although, I was quite young, when "The Beatles," were at their 'Prime,' I still remember Dancing and Singing to their Hit Songs. This Particular Song "This Boy," is NOT One I was familiar with. However, I ,LOVE IT!! I love the Musical Tune, the Lyrical Storyline, and the Amazing Voices, especially the excellent Harmonies. Thank You so much, for "Highlighting" this Great "Beatles" Song. 😉🎙💖 🎸 🎶 ❤ 🎵🥁 💙 🎹 🥰 🎵 🎸💜 🎹 👏🏻👏🏻
My pleasure, thank you for listening!
Sex pistols were equally as mesmerising not better not worse just similar impacts musically and sociologically
Absolutely fantastic. Can you imagine years ago trying to pick out all the separate harmonies, especially George's. It took lots of careful listening, and we did our best!
Glad you enjoyed this, thanks!
Ringo just hangin back there happy as can be.
The original Paul McCartney n John without glasses.
Best song ever
Concuerdo con la opinión de estos muchachos son los mejores de todos los tiempos. Que hermosa balada. Disfrutemos de ella.
Beautiful harmony from the three😊!!!
