Classism was a large issue in Britain at the time, and Liverpudlians specifically were pretty low on the class hierarchy. I'd assume it might've been because his accent was considerably strong when compared to Paul or John. That'd make more sense of this to me.
I'm a life long Beatles fan and this is the first time I've heard this! It's just incredible. It really should have featured on one of their early LP's
It’s not just the Beatles. At least one of the featured vocals is not a Beatle at all. It’s probably Gerry Marsden of Gerry and the Pacemakers, possibly Billy J Kramer. At this time when recording contracts were being signed and first albums being made, the Liverpool bands were known to help each other out in the recording studio. I know the Beatles sometimes helped out on tracks they had given away. Don’t know what they might have done on covers, such as this, which were plentiful on all their first albums. What I do know (by ear not info) is that one of the key singers in this unusual arrangement is not George.
Having an almost lifetime experience of loving and listening to the Beatles this definitely sounds like George. Great voice, great version, best band of all time.
@@0biwan77 You must have your wax taken off, really! This IS The Beatles Decca audition, with Pete Best on drums, made 1st January 1962 - just 60 years ago ! AND THAT VOICE IS GEORGE'S, it's unique, you should know it.

@@zakmartin Are you sure? I tried to look up Tony on youtube, and this song does not come up. In fact, George came up when I typed in Tony Sheridan & this song title. However, I really don't know so I cannot say for sure. But, those adorable pics are a young, adorable George.
@@barbararene4200 It sure sounds like George singing, at least to me! I know they all sang back up to Tony Sheridan at some point. But this singer definitely sounds like George Harrison!
George was 18 when this was recorded. The Decca audition took place on 1 January 1962, and George turned 19 on 25 February. Paul was 19, John 21 and Pete Best 20.
I booked Bobby Vee at a Corporate event in the late 80's or early 90's and found out we had the same BD. He was fantastic. Didn't realize the Greatest Band of all covered his biggest hit.

He sounds more like John, but he does have a rather smooth voice like Paul, and a timbre somewhere inbetween. His accent is also thicker than John and Paul's accents.
"Take Good Care of My Baby" is a song written by Carole King and Gerry Goffin. The song was made famous by Bobby Vee when it was released in 1961. The Beatles recorded a version of ‘Take Good Care Of My Baby’ during their audition for Decca Records on 1 January 1962, with George Harrison on lead vocals.
He certainly was, on the album Meet The Beatles it said on the cover. That not only was he the youngest but a handsome young man as well. Yet they were jealous of Pete Best because he was popular with the girls. Pete Best was the Beatle that time forgot.
@@danielbouju1688 yes it's true Pete Best was part of Rock History. What's sad is that he didn't share in the glory along the Beatles in being famous. But of course Pete did what he had to to make it through life. He mentioned a while back and I believe on the David Letterman Show . After he left the Beatles he was with another group they were the opening act for the Beatles. When they came off the stage because now it was time for the Beatles to perform. They passed the Beatles along way and he said that they didn't acknowledge his presence. Pete Best said he always was sad about it.
Thanks so much for sharing this track. I had no idea the Beatles covered this Bobby Vee hit. George's voice is wonderful here and it reminds me that he just didn't get enough space on the later albums. He was an excellent writer and singer. I would have loved to hear a duet with Bobby Vee singing this song. Thanks again for reminding us of how wonderful George was.
The MAGIC of RUclips. I went to bed, woke up during the night, grabbed my tablet. Took a look at RUclips and this popped up. Never heard it before and I was born in 1966 so that's saying something . What a lovely surprise.
Ya you can hear a little Buddy Holly, Wilbury. He does a very good job on this song. He was always my favorite Beatle... Rest In Peace George Harrison...
George sounded beautiful on this track! The first time I've ever heard it. Truthfully it would have been wonderful to hear him sing lead on many other Beatles' songs. The treble of his singing voice was so rich and soothing.
I never heard they did a rendition of this or that it was part of their Decca audition. Just stumbled onto this post. Super glad the tapes weren't destroyed and that the sound quality is as surprisingly good as it is. Harrison sounds wonderful as always. They definitely did what they needed to do at the audition and Decca did not. But all things considered, it was a stroke of luck to get passed up. George Martin was the perfect fit for the Fab Four.
@@0biwan77Too bad that he's gone. After the breakup, he eclipsed John and Paul. My favorite song of all-time is Here Comes The Sun. Keith Richards was a friend of George. He said that George was a real gentle soul.
Wouldn't it have been great to have seen them play at this time in their evolution? George was singing more frequently at this time. Great post-thanks!
I just love George's vocals in this one!
Ya, I think he sounds really good . I really miss his kind of music.
The main voice is from George?
@@11623868 Yes. George is singing lead here. In a Pat St. John interview, George Harrison said he really didn't like singing in the early years.
@@scdevon thanks
@@11623868 Yes it is oh yesit is,yeah!
We need this on Spotify!!!!
It would be in my wrapped if it was on Spotify!
DEFINITLEY
Unfortunately the Beatles' audition for Decca in 1961 isn't on Spotify
@jajaleco I wish it was. I'd listen to it a lot.
You can add it to your playlist !
George’s vocals here really shows talent he had, clear and smooth
Good vocals? Dont make me laugh!
@@Super241946 Amazing vocal!
I think you guys should get out more!
@@Super241946 I think you should mention one downside to George's clean and wonderful vocals!
George 43. .......Bland....expressionless.....tuneless! Is that good enough for you?
Listen to George's vocals on the intro, and remember that he was thought of (early on) as not that great a singer. What? He was sublime.
That was always ridiculous. George had a great voice and I still prefer his over the others’.
Classism was a large issue in Britain at the time, and Liverpudlians specifically were pretty low on the class hierarchy. I'd assume it might've been because his accent was considerably strong when compared to Paul or John. That'd make more sense of this to me.
Sublime is the right word!
george was a better singer than john
@@jabc1099still is
George and Paul's voices made a sweet harmony.
i still think it's a pity that george didn't sing the harmony on the record of all my loving. He did it live and it was amazing!
@@0casin0 i totally agree

Unusual to hear George pronounce the word 'care' instead of 'curr'.
Yeah ikr!
We've lost so many talented, beautiful people...George and John will forever be remembered. Cant help tearing up for that reason.

He wouldve but John and Paul wrote most of the hits in the beginning. 🚶🏽♂️🚶🏽♀️🚶🏽♂️🚶🏽♂️
@@garychambers5850 True. George was sidelined by Paul and John.
Sorry he had a relatively weak voice. But he is a Beatle. 😅

There's something that I gotta say ....
Take good care of my baby !!

How adorable and young George sounds. George was always my favorite Beatle. He sounds so young and precious. Be at peace with our Lord.
He was 18 here. He was young

George had a lovely voice even when he was only 18 - wow!
I play this every night before I go to sleep. It keeps me alive and makes me so happy that I got to be there when it all began. What a trip.
How do you listen to it, is it on a CD?
@@lindsayedmondson8488 I think they just play the RUclips video. Unless they put it on some kind of custom made CD.
i'm gonna cry he sounds so beautiful
I've never heard this before. Perfect song for George. Such a sweet voice.
A George fan for over 50 and never heard this but I ❤️ it !! Makes me smile 😘
I have over 650 unreleased songs by the Beatles.
What a Beautiful Soul George was. Most likely the most gentle being i have ever seen! The Music he made speaks for itself. What a gift from God!
Before or after he fucked Ringo's wife? Just wondering, cos he was such a gentle soul and all
I have never heard this Beatles version of "Take good Care of My Baby" originally a hit by Bobby Vee. George Harrison is absolututely great !
It, s great.
Es cierto un fuerte abrazo desde peña alta Tláhuac CDMX Luis Carbajal pro de tenis 28 de Septiembre del 2023.
Better by Bobby Vee
Wow I always thought it was a original from Dion
The greatest band of all time
George was the most beautiful Beatle. A very nice looking guy.
The most beautiful Beatle was Stuart Sutcliffe.
Cheeky face, beaming smile, transcendent soul. 🌸🌼🌸
Beatle...
@wayne pitty Of course, he was a Beatle. He just left before Beatlemania took off.
@@Kermit_T_Frog Stuart Sutcliffe was reincarnated as Neil Codling from Suede.
ロック歌手にして、めっちゃ品位、端正さを感じられる青年、ジョージ・ハリスン。
George sounds magnificent singing this song, especially in his upper register.
Aw his voice is perfect for this song ♥
And George in his own right went on to become as good a songwriter as John and Paul. No question.
@Janetta Martin Of course. Thanks.
I FREAKING LOVE THIS COVER, I LISTEN TO IT EVERYDAY, GEORGES VOICE IN THIS OMGGGGG, ITS SO BEAUTIFUL, I LOVE HIM SMMMM! :)
George was 18 when this was recorded. The Decca audition took place on 1 January 1962, and George turned 19 on 25 February. Paul was 19, John 21 and Pete Best 20.
Good Lord! Where’s this track been all these years? Magnificent
Well, it’s been released on a lot of bootlegs and some official releases. It’s all over RUclips too.
You can sense the determination in them. Like people always said, it was not only there music, but their personalities. They were destined for fame.
My Sweet George
I find it funny your name cause of Astrid Kirtcherr
Astrid Agterberg oh ain't he sweet hahaha Beatles pun.
Perfect, Harmonies at the end were incredible
It's like a addiction..how beautiful is this song and George's voice..never get bored by listening to everyday..Luv you Sir George miss ya.
Just heard this for the first time. Thank you. Love the sound and the pics and clips.
This is a brilliant cover.
Well known song but I've never heard it by the fab four before. George is fabulous
George Harrison is the most beautiful man I have ever seen, his beauty was on a whole other level ❤️
George was the only one who brought his stage game to the Decca audition. His tracks have great vocals.
So sweet to see the Beatles cover " Take good care of of my baby,"
Booby Vee's big hit!!
Also written by Carole King to boot too
I booked Bobby Vee at a Corporate event in the late 80's or early 90's and found out we had the same BD. He was fantastic. Didn't realize the Greatest Band of all covered his biggest hit.
Booby Vee lol
yeah n dont forget, dylan played with bobby vee.
Actually dion
Lyrics:
My tears are falling
'cos you've taken her away
And though it really hurts me so
There something that I got to say:
Take good care of my baby
Please don't ever make her blue
Just tell her that you love her
Make sure you're thinking of her
In everything you say and do
Take good care of my baby
Now don't you ever make her cry
Just let your love surround her
Paint rainbows all around her
Don't let her see the cloudy sky
Once upon a time
That little girl was mine
If I had been true
I know she'd never been with you
So take good care of my baby
Be just as kind as you can be
And if you should discover
That you don't really love her
Just send my baby back home to me
Take good care of my baby
Be just as kind as you can be
And if you should discover
That you don't really love her
Just send my baby back home to me
Take good care of my baby
Take good care of my baby
Take good care of my baby
George is my favorite....oh man, how I love him
Your George photo/video montage made me cry. Nicely done.
I had exactly the same feeling
Sometimes George sounds like Paul, and sometimes George sounds like John
Thats that magic about his voice
George blended into the middle of the two other voices perfectly. This is one of the factors in their overall great band sound.
He sounds more like John, but he does have a rather smooth voice like Paul, and a timbre somewhere inbetween. His accent is also thicker than John and Paul's accents.
More like John
@@marie_01s Agreed.
Heard this for the first time today. Classic George Harrison - my favorite Beatle.
I love George's singing in this song. Gorgeous George will always be in my heart. I love you and miss you George. RIP ❤️🌹❤️
I can take the place of George's to make you happy..just take good care of you Patricia.
Always my favourite Beatle....this is wonderful!
I could listen to this a gazillion times. George the bestest Beatle.
Omg
Never saw this
Before.
So magical.
Loved it.
George so
Adorable.
Always loved this song. George does well with it.
makes me cry omg so beautiful. I love his voice so much and I miss him
Fantastic voice and Love the guitar playing. What a talent.!
SO young!!

Yes! An up and coming musician.
I reckon they might just get big one day

3 of the top 10 greatest musicians of all time just randomly met each other and formed a band- pretty crazy when you think about it really.

Julian Torres Ringo isn't on this song. That's Pete Best. But when Ringo joined, they were indeed 4, not 3. 4 musical geniuses.
