We are all alive during the time Paul McCartney walked among us. A living Mozart and we are alive to experience his brilliance. This music will live forever.
Every Beatles track is an absolute Nucleotide, a building block of the very DNA of the music that followed. Bands like Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd started with the music of The Beatles ringing in their ears.❤
Its Paul! Your face at the chorus!🤣🤣 He recorded it at the end of the album and spent ages screaming at the walls to roughen up his voice, he wanted it to sound like they'd just finished a long tour You're right, Blessing, Ringo absolutely nailed the drums, superb! The Beatles, best ever
Paul McCartney, the man of a thousand voices, is singing ALL of the lead vocals. He can change his voice up seamlessly and has a lot of different styles of singing.
@@phila3884 I had the great pleasure of seeing Paul McCartney live 5 times in my lifetime over the years. Best concerts I ever went to. Especially the first 4 when he was younger and his voice was still amazing.
@@phila3884 I don't know if Paul wrote this song to sound like John but I do know that John wanted to sing this song and wished he wrote it instead of Paul. John felt he could have done a better job than Paul did. Personally, although I love John's voice, I don't think he would have done it better than Paul did. Paul had a more versatile voice than John and this song also has the clear, high parts that Paul sang better than John. From what I read it was Paul trying to do a song like some of his earlier songs that he used to do. For example, Long Tall Sally. He felt he had lost some of those vocal chops and wanted to break his voice in slowly to get it back on Oh Darling. But, as John put it: "Oh! Darling’ was a great one of Paul’s that he didn’t sing too well. I always thought that I could’ve done it better - it was more my style than his. He wrote it, so what the hell, he’s going to sing it. If he’d had any sense, he should have let me sing it." [Laughs.] - John Lennon
As one of the 73 million people who were lucky enough to see the world change right before my eyes on that magic night 2/9/64, I love seeing young people like you who continue to “get it”. Friday night will be the 60th anniversary of that incredible moment in time when they were on Ed Sullivan and having the DVD collection of the 4 complete, unedited Ed Sullivan appearances, I will at 8 PM start the DVD and remember one of the most amazing things I ever witnessed. It’s not just me either, one of their very successful contemporaries, Donovan, has said: “The Beatles are, I think, the best thing that’s happened to this planet EVER!!! I hope you enjoy your journey learning more about the biggest and best band ever.
What was the alternative for Donovan -- alienating potential fans? In other words, I rarely trust "good words" by one celebrity about another celebrity.
@@ralphrennick4636 Notwithstanding the protests and demonstrations against US involvement in Vietnam, or anything like that. Had you actually been alive and aware during the 1960s you would have heard, and perhaps even seen, "negative" criticisms of anything and everything, including of "The Beatles". A "small" example was the right-wing "Christian" pastor who claimed that "The Beatles" were a "Communist plot". To the contrary, rock and roll has never been about "rebellion"; it has always been by capitalists seeking fame and fortune -- in fact, John Lennon himself said that he wanted to be rich and famous. And that they were Jews (Ringo's nose). "Christian" anti-Semitism was alive and well. There was the "Hippy" critique of excess consumerism (with the exceptions of sex, drugs, and rock and roll). The riots at the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago -- which was a "negative" criticism of the status quo. If "The Beatles" offered "escape" it was "'escape" to REALITY. What "The Beatles" did was inspire BEING AWAKE AND AWARE -- whereas you're about uncritical vacuity. You live in a "PERFECT" world of self-indulgence oblivious to actual "negative" REALITIES.
Lol. That's funny. My sister and I have done the exact same thing, last year, and now this year. At exactly 8:00 pm, I started the DVD. I was 7 years old in 1964, and have loved The Beatles ever since.
You can say that Paul McCartney was also the first one who introduced Metal music to the world with his voice and instrumentally,especially when you listen to his song Helter Skelter
Paul McCartney had incredible heights and is considered the first Heavy Metal singer.. Here he did wonders, in this song.. He does the same in Helter Skelter... He is incredible and with John they had unique colors.
What's not to like about this song? Epic performance by Paul McCartney singing the lead with beautiful backing vocals by John Lennon. These two are at the top of the list of the greatest musical duos of all time in their respective roles within the Beatles.
Paul McCartney was the vocalist. Nobody else in the band had his range and ability to transform his style. He also can sing remarkably soft, smooth ballads. John Lennon is the other primary lead vocalistz and George Harrison wrote and sang lead on many of his own songs, some of which are among their best and biggest hits (Something, While My Guitar Gently Weeps).
Greta reaction ! Paul McCartney in his prime had one of the greatest voices in rock. So many incredible songs from the best band of all time, cheers for posting ❤
This song, with so much emotion and intensity use to literally make me cry...always thought this song was perfect, then John said if he sang it, it would have been a hit...WOOOOW ❤❤❤❤
One of my absolute favorite Beatles songs and Paul McCartney just kills it obviously. But yeah I as well like literally every element of it. Those amazing guitar stab/smears like a horn section in the versus, and then the super sharp accented staccato arpeggios in the choruses, and Ringo is fantastic and I believe Paul McCartney's bass line there just makes it. It's got that slow heavy moving underneath. It's just perfect
FWIW, and amazing as it sounds, the bass on Oh Darling was played by George Harrison, not Paul McCartney. The Beatles sometimes really switched it up, line John Lennon playing lead guitar on "Get Back, " not George Harrison.
The Beatles like you've never heard before Blessing. Wonderful reaction. Paul showed up early at EMI Studios for the better part of a week trying to get the raspy vocal he desired. This is a very stripped-down recording with John expertly handling. the guitar work. Ringo's drums are impeccable. George turns in an outstanding bass track while Paul plays the piano. Had the Beatles ever toured again, my hunch is Oh! Darling would have fit nicely in their set list. Take care MrsPP, RNB
I watched this video wondering what someone who is so 'young' would think of the Beatles and their song. You killed it. You made some comments I remember making when I first bought the record when it first came out like I loved the drum part on that song and forgot how I loved that their vocals sounded different on each song. Thanks
Congratulations on the coming baby. I've been listening to The Beatles since 1964, and there are songs where it is still difficult for me to distinguish Paul McCartney and John Lennon vocals. Generally John has a more raspy voice, and Paul has a deeper sounding voice. On this one it is Paul on the lead vocals, and they were some of his best. This is a great song, and there are so many ways to describe it. Of all the descriptions I've heard, I think your "well seasoned fried chicken" is my favorite. One of the reasons The Beatles were so successful, was their ability to make so many different types of songs from the orchestra backed She 's leaving Home to the psychedelic sounding Lucy in The Sky With Diamonds. She's Leaving Home is a must hear. I would strongly recommend a song from their live rooftop concert called Don't Let Me Down for your next Beatles reaction.
Paul was so much more than a pretty face. What a songwriter - and seriously one of the truly GREAT rock-pop-country-ballad voices EVER!!!!! Oh! And cred to George Martin and Alan Parsons for the perfect choice of reverb on Paul's voice here. It adds the perfect drama to the vocal performance.
Arguably one of the greatest vocal performances in rock and roll period. I saw Paul McCartney in concert several times back in the early 90s and really hoped that he would sing this one but I'm pretty sure if he had included it in his setlists he would have completely lost his voice years ago.
It was 1968, Oh, Darling was part of the White Album and announced a return to the Beatles' roots. It was also the beggining of the end for the greatest rock band ever!
In my opinion, this is Paul's best vocal. The lead was all Paul McCartney. Paul had an incredible vocal range. He could even scream in key. Abby Road was the last album The Beatles recorded, with the exception of some pickup work on Let It Be, which was recorded before this. Let It Be was the last album released.
As a vocalist, it is not just hitting those incredible notes with all that rasping glory. It is immediately going back to a normal pitch without having a syllable or two of warped vocal chords. You would never guessed that he had shrieked his passion just a second before.
In another Abbey Road Beatles tune Paul sharply changes his vocals during the song, "You Never Give Me Your Money". Paul has some hard vocals and some soft vocals (e.g. compare "Lady Madonna" (hard vocals), and "I Will" and "Mother Nature's Son" (soft vocals). I think McCartney won a Grammy Award for Best Vocals on The Beatles song, "Eleanor Rigby". BTW there's a 5yo girl on youtube who sings "Oh Darling!" very well. Another tune where McCartney changes his vocal range is in the song, "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey" (recorded after The Beatles disbanded in 1970).
Gears. The boys have gears that climb, and they can turn on a dime, darling! And believe me when i tell you, no other band could have brought music around so quick at that time (1964 in America). And yes, remember that songs were alway 2.5 minutes which means they had to jam it all in and let it all hang out in a short space including Paul's Little Richard's "Whoohs!"
As one of the self-proclaimed Beatleologists that will jump on here to squeeze out any bit of trivia you haven’t thought off, or couldn’t avoid, I’d like to make a recommendation to any Beatles fan, or novice. The weekly radio program hosted by Ken Michaels sincerely 1982 has been playing the best of nostalgia, history, hidden gems, band/solo/cover/tribute and other variations of everything Beatlesque. Title: EVERY LITTLE THING
They manage to sound different on each track , wow did you hit the mail on the head . Growing up with the Beatles I recall how every new Beatle album sounded nothing like the last one ,.
The makers of melody, you are right. No electronic interruptions. All 4 Beatles sing, mostly Paul and John either together or solo, but always backing each other along with George. Ringo (drummer) never backs up.
Great reaction, sweet Blessing. ❤ This is Paul singing lead throughout, with John and George (and maybe Paul too?) providing the background harmonies. This is off "Abbey Road," their last recorded album, released in late summer 1969. The band dropped about 215 songs all together, roughly 180 of them originals. For my money, you'd be hard-pressed to find a clunker in that whole group. So keep nibbling away, my dear friend. And don't wait too to start turning your new son into another Beatles fan. 😄
This song is from the album Abbey Road, one of the best albums ever made. It’s worth a full album reaction. By all means listen to it uninterrupted in a quiet room with headphones on loud. The second half of the album is a long medley meant to be listened without stopping until the very end.
This was from their last recorded album, Abbey Road. Towards the end they tended to look back at the kind of music that turned them on when they grew up, which this is an example of - a 50s style song. Paul could always pull off a convincing Little Richard. They basically had three distinct ”eras”: First the pop period, 1962-65, next the revolutionary period 1965-1968, when they changed music forever. And finally the afterglow period 1969-1970, which was marred by conflict and bad blood between the members. I think it’s fair to say their last two albums were objectively weaker than their previous output, but I also know lots of Beatles fans will hate me for saying it.
You're gonna fall down a deep, deep rabbit hole...and when you climb back up...'things' will be different. All four had different 'voices'. Your ears will hear them on the songs and comedians have had a good time imitating them :)
Abbey Road was actually the last Beatle Album together. Let it Be was released after because of corporate and creative BS but Abbey Road was their final album as the Beatles.
This song was an album cut on the Beatles' "Abbey Road" LP. The Beatles had such an embarrassment of riches with hit songs, that "Oh Darling" was just another album cut. For any other band, it would have been a single and on the charts. As everyone else said, that's Paul McCartney with the vocals (and piano), Ringo Starr on the drums and John Lennon & George Harrison on the backing vocals. Paul is literally the best vocalist in rock music, and John Lennon was right behind him. George Harrison was a little further back in the pack, but he was also a fine vocalist. What most people miss about this song is the driving bass that thrusts the song forward. Paul McCartney was the Beatles' usual bass player, and he is superb on the bass. However, George Harrison played that driving melodic bass on "Oh Darling"! These guys were just the all-around best there ever was. That's why so many of the Beatles' songs all sound different.
I really, REALLY want to accept that it's George on bass for this song. All the authorized and contemporaneous accounts and studio logs say it was George, but it is SO close to Paul's style that I'm reluctant. Somebody needs to ask McCartney himself. My best guess is that George was coached (directed?) during the recording by Paul, 'cause that's what Paul was known to do. Either way, it is a bangin' bass line, one of my all-time favorites.
This is the rare Paul McCartney-penned Beatles song that John badly wanted to sing, and you can see why: A talented vocalist like Paul or John could tear it up like John did a few years earlier singing "Twist and Shout!" With "Oh Darling," Paul combined doo-wop, Fats Domino, and Little Richard to come up with this gem.

I really, REALLY want to accept that it's George on bass for this song. All the authorized and contemporaneous accounts and studio logs say it was George, but it is SO close to Paul's style that I'm reluctant. Somebody needs to ask McCartney himself. My best guess is that George was coached (directed?) during the recording by Paul, 'cause that's what Paul was known to do. Either way, it is a bangin' bass line, one of my all-time favorites.
I love to see younger people appreciating older music.
It's nice shuffle.
It's Paul all the way through the song
Its all Paul! He was known to "rough up" his voice when necessary to get that raw sound.
the singer is Paul McCartney... this is a Paul song... possibly his greatest vocal performance.. for another Paul song, try Helter Skelter
It's ALL PAUL McCARTNEY singing lead, (both voices you hear (John and George doing the background "ahhhs" and "ooooos")
You should hear him sing Long Tall Sally
This is the rare Paul McCartney-penned Beatles song that John badly wanted to sing, and you can see why: A talented vocalist like Paul or John could tear it up like John did a few years earlier singing "Twist and Shout!" With "Oh Darling," Paul combined doo-wop, Fats Domino, and Little Richard to come up with this gem.
Paul went to the studio for a week straight to get the vocals right
Paul shreddin' cords. And chords.
Raw vocal by McCartney ! You're sweet 😉
All four members of the Beatles sing lead vocals.
They are one of the few groups that I would buy an album. Most put a lot of filler garbage, maybe I just loved the Beatles or both.
