The most versatile by a country mile! Genius!!! The potato guy,hardly a theory that would wake humanity??? Sept 11 and this latest fear by design,can do so! However,yours and my comment are irrelevant for this good post.
@@BeatlesCentricUniverse Think he stopped smoking many years ago. One just can't scream at the top of ones lungs and not have it affect your vocal cords . Yes the voice loses clarity as one ages.
@Aylin Asghary Couple times per year?? What are you talking about??? He's been screaming basically since the Hamburg days for good ness sake!!! 60 years or so!! Including out takes, concerts, different takes, ect. you need to read up and talk with vocal coaches on the effects of screaming at the top of your lungs does to the voice. But if you are for it, go ahead and good luck to ya!!
@@Tunz909 show me an eighty year old that does anything well let alone singing in a rock band exactly as he did sixty years ago. There’s wasn’t anything wrong with his technique or he would have lost it at 35 not 75.
I was at the "Wings Over America" concert in Denver, CO during the 1976 tour. Paul sang his brains out for 2 1/2 hours and never missed a note. Unbelievable !
@ (☞ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)☞ John was not into religion before he met her, remember he said the Beatles were bigger than Jesus, this was before he met Yoko Ono. Yoko Ono had her own money as she was a fairly successful avant garde artist living in New York City, she even had a self published book called Grapefruit (which had a poem titled Imagine). Yoko made John richer during his retirement by investing their money (her father was a successful businessman), if he had been left to his own he'd been broke because his spending was out of control.
@Maquiladoralll I love Oh Darling as well! To my memory, John always felt that the song suited his voice better. It would have been interesting, but I think they made the right decision in the end!
Whenever anybody tells me he could only sing ballads (which he did masterfully) I refer them to this song. Oh, and his screaming in songs like "Revolution".
What's funny is that I thought it was John for years; the echo on the vocals was more common in John songs, plus the parts when Paul's voice gets more worn out sounds *so* much like Lennon gravel. Only the screaming bridge really sets it apart as Paul, especially when he flubs it into an "oooh!"
@@LageTH-cam I love Jenny Wren! If you like that one, I highly recommend My Valentine! It’s more romantic sounding, but it’s somewhat similar to Jenny Wren when it comes to the singing style and tempo, at least I think so.
I love the story of Ivan Vaughan, John & Paul's mutual childhood friend. It's said he was the main thing they had in common after the breakup, both independently standing by him as he fought Parkinson's and a premature death. God bless you I've, if not for you the world as we know it would be very different.
I always get a special thrill whenever I discover that people I admire dig the Beatles. It's a confirmation that they've got good taste and judgement. I can never fully trust anyone who claims to NOT like the Beatles!
Gerry Coogan- AGREED! I was just thinking the other day of the infamous (to me at least) segment from American Bandstand when the great Dick Clark stunned his live audience members with their first look at the Sergeant Pepper's era Beatles by airing their videos for Strawberry Fields and Penney Lane. The inane and smug comments the kids made when asked for their thoughts about the Beatles beforehand where the Beatles were compared to the Monkees and no longer of any interest was embarrassing enough, but deer caught in the headlights looks the kids wore on their faces AFTER watching??? Holy cow! "I don't like their hair..." "They're funny looking..." Meanwhile the Beatles just went right on ahead and revolutionized music and western civilization youth culture! BEATLES 4 EVER!!!
@@droboogie8465 Great memory. I'd love to have seen that. Here in the UK, I can still remember how the Sgt. Pepper cover art alone made such a huge impact on the public's perception of the band. There was a full page, colour advertisement in the Sunday Times that simply reproduced the front cover of the new Beatles album and I was fascinated by it. It was so different from anything I'd ever seen. Somebody once said that the release of Pepper was like the moment in The Wizard of Oz when everything changes from black and white to colour. What a great comparison that is!
There's video footage on you tube of this. In the studio he's puffing on something that enables him to really let rip. Shows his rhythm too, rarely seen without holding an instrument. Worth looking up.
Heard that song for the first time ever in a bar in Belfast, hungover, with my bandmates about ten years ago. We were wondering who the f it was. It was only once the Band on the Run bit came in that we realised it was McCartney. Incredible song, arrangement, and vocal.
Thanks for this Aimee. I'm always in disbelief that McCartney doesn't top every single list of top vocalists of all time. A true critical listener really has no choice but to place him at the top - especially if versatility is a factor. Bing Crosby, Freddy Mercury, Ray Charles, Michael Jackson, etc are really phenomenal for the way they can sing. But McCartney is just as phenomenal in like 8 different singing styles. I would say Elvis also had versatility. The thing with McCarney is, we are just talking about his voice. We could start an entire new thread on his song writing which is truly without comparison. And then his bass playing ability.... McCartney is truly otherwordly.
A perfect summary. I am made very happy to know there are intelligent listeners out there who are very aware of all his amazing musical skills. Thank you for a great post.
I effing love that song too. Played it for a Tom Waits fan pal of mine who was a little less appreciative of Macca than he should have been. "There ya go, Tom Waits before Tom Waits, and don't forget ''Why Don't We Do It In the Road.' " "Yeah. Interesting. Good stuff man," he was compelled to say. Finding that song mentioned a lot lately. It also shows Paul's wild sometimes absurdist sense of humor too.
A friend of mine who was getting into the Beatles once asked me who else sings on Golden Slumbers apart from Paul. They couldn't believe it was all just one person's voice
Yes! As much as I love singers like Elvis Presley, Freddie Mercury, Robert Plant, Paul Rodgers, David Bowie, Jim Morrison, Frank Sinatra, etc., if I could steal just one person's voice, it'd be Paul's. I'd argue, all around, best in show, Paul had the greatest voice, versatility, ability, and prowess for singing of all time.
@@edboyce7466 --Yes Mickey Dolenz has a great voice,I never mentioned it on my 'list' of 'Plant,Marriott,Mercury etc because I thought it was just my personal taste but glad to see there are 'others' out there
True talent. When I was 8 years old I remember seeing the The Beatles at Blackpool in UK. My parents took all 5 of us kids. We ranged from 6 years old up to 15 years old. Lot of screaming 😱. But a nice memory to tell my now great grandkids. Thru all five generations now The Beatles is a band we’ve listened too.
No talent comes close to Paul. No one, not Dylan, not Elvis, not Jackson, no one. But he gets a hard time because he was never classed as the cool one and is willing to experiment with song like the Frog Chorus. You take his vast library of work against anyone else and take the great songs he was part of in The Beatles, Wings and as a solo artist and it is phenomenal. Great video.. peace
so true.. Paul was Paul, John was John , George was George , Ringo was Ringo and together they were the Beatles! Say no More... but Paul.s voice is a treasure often overlooked.. funny i try not to "over listen to" Beatles music but for the last year i have been binging on Beatles on TH-cam ... i caved and i.m glad i did.... what was i thinking??
Love Monkberry Moon Delight... Love His RAM album, Backseat of My Car, and Wildlife album, Some People Never Know.. A also love Linda singing with him.. so distinctive.. Thank you Aimee for this...Beautiful
Love Monkberry Moon Delight too Dennis. But for years I was singing -"Catch up, super fury' and only discovered the proper lyrics recently - "Ketchup, soup and puree"! I don't think I got any of the lyrics right to be honest!
I have a Master’s degree in music education and have been a huge Sir Paul fan and follower through a musical study of his entire career. You touched on everything spot on!
If you don't mind me asking...Do you think Paul throughout his solo career has sometimes copped very unfair criticism due to a tendency for the masses and some critics to put image before music? Thumbs aloft and all that. His ability to remain 'ordinary' as a person I think sometimes lead critics to cast his music in that light which for their part showed little knowledge and appreciation for music.
You Never Give Me Your Money is an amazing vocal performance, as is Monkberry Moon Delight, Golden Slumbers, Maybe Im Amazed, and so many others. The best and most varied singer by far IMO
How could you miss "Girlfriend" on Paul's falsetto, or " Country Dreamer" or " I've just seen a Face" on Paul's country....just kidding, there are hundreds of examples of his thousands voices... He is so much the biggest songwriter and multiinstrument player,,than we often forget what an outstanding singer he is...your video is a fine reminder,great job!!
I saw Paul McCartney live in 2015. His voice has obviously aged, but he’s still got the versatility. I’m a soprano, but before I even know what that meant, I learned how to make my low range really warm and melodic by singing along and mimicking him as best I could. I love him, and I love this video! :)
Very true. I used to wonder if it was him singing on Back in the USSR because his voice sounded so different. But it is him. He uses an amazing gruff voice on that song.
His blues voice actually was his Little Richard takeoff. His Elvis voice could be found in the one section of You Never Give Me Your Money and Lady Madonna. An incredible vocal talent!
@@fifthbeatle That makes sense as he wrote Like Dreamers Do at 17 and Elvis was one of his first influences. Fun fact: Like Dreamer's Do is actually the reason why the Beatles got signed. Sid Colman and Kim Bennet who were two employees of an EMI subsidiary convinced EMI to sign them because they thought Like Dreamer's Do was going to be a hit. They would only get the publishing rights to that song and others if they gave the Beatles a recording contract.
ECW 14 Yeah I heard about that too! Absolutely insane that a song he wrote when he was 17 basically became one of the biggest contributing factors for the Beatles getting set up for unlimited success with the most perfect and open minded producer that they could’ve possibly been teamed up with. The question is, why didn’t the Beatles actually officially record Like Dreamer’s Do under EMI and release it as a single or include it on an album! I’ve heard that Paul himself despised it… but how could you hate such a melodic and unspeakably beautiful song!
What an intelligent, informative and engaging video you have made. Why Paul does not get more acknowledgement for his vocal versatility is beyond me. I think the tendency to think of John (who I love too) as the most talented Beatle continues to distort actual truths. John wrote some beautiful songs and he could sing ballads like Julia and rock out with Twist and Shout but McCartney vocal gymnastics has never been beaten my any other singer I can think of. Additionally he is pretty handy at the playing of many instruments. Your musical favourites are both great example of this vocal versatility but also include some of my favourites too. Some random picks from me would include: Blackbird (those chord progressions), Eleanor Rigby, Oh! Darlin', Coming Up (both versions), Maybe I'm Amazed (what a vocal! Heaps better than Imagine), I'm Carrying, My Brave Face, Flying to My Home (what a great example of what Paul can do with his voice), Kansas City (Live 93), Beautiful Night, Baby's Request, the gorgeous Calico Skies and the absolute classic My Valentine. Too bad you don't live in Australia as I have very much of late been thinking what am I going to do with all my huge masses of McCartney material. In terms of vocal diversity I might compare Blackbird, Got to get You Into My Life, I Will, Oh1 Darlin' Helter Skelter, Maybe I'm Amazed, Monkberry Moon Delight, Mumbo, Dear Friend, You Gave Me the Answer, Call Me Back Again, Beware My Love, Baby's Request, My Brave Face (harmonies), Daytime Night Time Suffering, Flying to My Home, Temporary Secretary, Coming Up (both versions makes for an interesting listen), Calico Skies, Run Devil Run (the entire album!), Lonesome Town, She Said Yeah, Lonely Road, English Tea, Calico Skies, Souvenir (great vocal), My Valentine. The only deliberate vocal approach he adopted that I didn't care for was on Figure of 8 (the album version). Interestingly the single versions of this song changed tact. What an amazing talent he is.
I also think people paint John as the rock voice and indeed Twist and Shout is awsome. But Paul surpasses this performance many times eg Long Tall Sally, I saw Hee Standing There etc. Also I’ve Got a Feeling is outrageously difficult to sing. He never wrote easy to sing pieces because he had that extensive voices range. He is always the one in stage having true most fun, outrageously so.
I never heard Billy Joel until recently and my first though was, "He's like an American Paul McCartney." She's Always a Woman in particular is a very "Paul" song.
If you are familiar with The Four Seasons, when Billy did "Uptown Girl" I could have sworn it was the Four Seasons!! But Aimee is spot on, Paul can change his voice on a dime, and sing in any style, and write in any style!!! My only criticism with Paul is that all the screaming he has done has ruined his once golden voice...and he won't lower the keys of the tunes to save his voice.
@@fnjesusfreak I was really just luke warm with Billy prior to the LP with "Uptown Girl" these tunes just blew me away, and I was hooked on Billy ever since! Paul is like "The Bible" for me though......basically can do no wrong for almost going on 60 years!!!
On The Nylon Curtain album you can really hear Billy evoking the Beatles in composition and vocal timbre: Lennon: Laura, Pressure Mccartney: Where’s the orchestra, Room of our own Harrison: Scandinavian skies, Surprises Not a single bad song on that album!
Wow. You NAILED this. I've been a Beatles fan for close to 50 years, and was a "John" guy growing up. One day, I watched George Martin play Paul's isolated vocal from "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band," and Martin declared "that's a rock voice" (or something similar). That's when Paul's vocal gifts and mastery dawned on me. As I watched your video, I kept thinking "I wonder if she'll mention . . ." and you did, every time! "Oh, Darling" is a MASTERPIECE, and his vocals on "You Never Give Me Your Money" really capture his incredible versatility, but his vocals on "Here, There, and Everywhere" are stunning. Saw him live a few years ago. He's so kind to his audience, he acts like he's really there for them and really appreciates their presence. He's one of a kind. Fantastic video, obviously took a lot of work. Love it!!!
His voice, his songwriting, his instrumental prowess - and his taste. Talk about bluesy vocals in The Beatles - 'She's a Woman' is a classic. And 'On the Way' from 'McCartney II' - B.B. King covered that one! And crooning/jazzy - 'Baby's Request' from 'Back to the Egg' is gorgeous. For rocker Paul, 'Helter Skelter' is astounding. And let's not forget his amazing guitar solo on George's 'Taxman'. And much of this goes for John and George, too, and also for Ringo, in terms of his instrumental abilities and taste in his drumming. Fun fact - 'Yesterday' and 'I'm Down' were recorded in the same session.
Been listening to the Ram album recently and it had been occurring to me a lot how creative Paul is with his fearlessly diverse vocal approaches. I was so glad to see this segment read my mind! I love these harmonized segment transitions also.
I really appreciate this appraisal of Sir Paul's voice. Great versatility of voice and songs. In this he has no equal. I won't have a bad word said about him. If they do, i give 'em hell.
This is a really interesting video. Rarely seen anything about his voice. McCartney was by far the best vocalist ever in rock history. Well done for this brill video you really know your stuff.
I'm totally new to you and your channel and thought it was nice, and you did a great job on this video. But you won me over the minute you mentioned, "Monkberry Moon Delight". Now I'm a subscriber. Great work. I'm looking forward to seeing more from you and your channel.
One of TH-cam's many great features is being able to listen to a commentary like this one. I knew Paul was gifted with amazing vocal chords and had learned to use them in various ways as required by the song he or he and John conceived. His voice permitted him to create a catalog of songs with diverse styles, sounds, and ranges. His voice has character that he expertly used. So, thanks Aimee for putting this video together reminding me and the others watching of Paul's greatness.
Those "strange noises" Paul does with his tongue are him mimicking a British telephone ringing. The line before this is the line "we'll be sure to give a ring" which was another way of saying they would make a telephone call. The next line is sung through compression simulating what you would might hear over an old school telephone line.
He was the total package, natural songwriting with the ability to dream up melodies, skilled in most musical instruments, great looking, and a wonderful versatile singing voice. The perfect musician.
@Peter Paul Marin, listen closely to 1963-1965, then Rubber Soul & Revolver, because there is a big change in Sgt Pepper’s…..the voice pattern of print is different than Paul in the early years; look at pictures from Meet The Beatles, Abby Road, Ram….put the pictures side by side….oh, & Sgt Pepper’s…..what do you see?? Exactly!!!! Think hard on this, my friend.
I love how Paul is still experententing with voices today, "Women and Wives" is an example of him trying out a completely new voice he hadn't used perviously. I think there's also a "Folk Paul" you can hear in songs like "Mull of Kintyre" and "Best Love" by Steve Martin ft. Paul
At 77 yrs old, i started my music memories with the Beatles from their earliest LP album Please Please me, now almost worn out. Aimee, you have given me a very deep feeling and understanding of the making and roots of my favorite early Beatles "hymns" - timeless and embedded in my psyche. Thank you deeply.
Paul McCartney has always been my favorite singer of all time for as long as I can remember. I have had the joy of seeing him perform live 5 times in my lifetime. A big reason I love his voice so much is because of his versatility. Someone should do a video on that subject someday. :D Great video. The only little issue I had was you playing an older Paul singing Helter Skelter. It doesn't really do justice to the recorded version done by Paul in his prime. It's like two entirely different songs.
Nice overview, a man of a thousand voices indeed! My personal favourite vocals are from the b side of his first post Beatle single 'Oh Woman Oh Why' which just is so raw it makes your hair stand on end and that lovely outro at the end of 'Glasses' on McCartney which fades out with the words "Songs of ruin now, I am sitting saying nothing doing"... just magic. Still can't get that out of my head after 40+ years!
Very interesting compilation, Aimee. Well done. I really enjoyed it. I am also a fan of Paul and his vocal abilities and musicianship, not to mention his amazing songwriting. He has been a mentor to me.
I asked my daughter to listen to Abbey Road at the time she was 20, she couldn't believe that they changed their vocal style depending on the song - obvious to me but maybe not to the younger generation - its one of her favourite albums
paul getting an appreciation he deserves in this video and in the comments... we love to see it thank you so much for making this video, about time we actually talk about paul's talent!
Nice to hear someone recognize this aspect of his great talent. I'm amazed at how many different voices he uses on the RAM album. You mentioned three or four of them here in just two songs. If you count the background vocals, I bet it would be at least a dozen.
For the longest time I thought that it was John singing the second part, I really couldn't believe that it was all Paul (on a number of songs of the medley). Paul's singing, songwriting and his bass playing ... oh man, unbelievable.
A legend. I can't avoid to cry when I watch these type of videos where people talk about the talent of Paul. It's so crazy how talented he is. The king of melody, definitely. A man who loves so deep the music. Proud to Paul and proud to be fan of his stunning precious career. The one and only, it's a blessing he's with us in this world.
Hey this is really nicely put together..my parents like him and I know like every song and you do him so much respect with this❤ hope he sees it too one day
Funny moment from about 2 minutes in: A guy walks up to Paul in the crowd, says: "I love you Paul. Your music got played on my dad's funeral." Paul: "Oh! Say hi to him!"
I discovered the Beatles when I was a teenager and I immedaitely fell in love with their music. They were my favorite band for many years. When i discovered them i didn't know much music and I didn't know many other singers to compare them with. They became so familiar that i never questioned this kind of things later. The Beatles and their voices are as familiar to me as my parentes or the city I was born in. You don't usually judge those things objetively. Now that i thing about it, you're right! I can't think of other singers that sing in so many different styles! But at the same time all is coherent. It's all him.
Thanks Aimee, yes he is a living legend for sure. Makes me feel justified, that someone from your generation appreciates his talent, and not just a boomer like myself who grew up with the music. God Bless you and thanks again Bruce:-)
Yes I agree but Aimee is not just someone from a new generation. It is fashionable in some quarters to declare that the Beatles are over-rated etc. But when Aimee shows her appreciation we can be assured that back then we were indeed right to feel something special was happening.
Worth noting that when Paul lived in that street it was middle class and he was going to one of the best schools in the country, the Liverpool Institute for boys - along with my dad and his brother. His success has a lot to do with having a great father and great teachers even though he wasn't very academic outside of the art and music teaching that he was streamed into. He completed the full seven years though, the school photos prove it. They're online.
“You know my name look up the number” showcases Paul’s vocal range beautifully. He goes from screeching rock and roll to smooth American Sinatra-esque lounge singer to utter British silliness. And yes, as others have said, in “Uncle Albert” he’s mimicking the sound of an old-fashioned telephone ringing, then the sound of the phone being picked up, then the voice over the telephone.
Paul motivated me to experiment with my voice, especially when it comes to singing different styles of songs. The versatile, voice chameleon that he is, I’ll always love that marvelous man!
He's very good but have you heard Elton John on songs like "High Flying Bird" or "Mona Lisa" or "Mad Hatters" or "Friends" or "Blues for Baby and Me"?🙂
Over all of the many years I have heard Paul speak and sing. It is incredible how strong his voice is. He has done comic character type voices, joked around and has the ability to shape his voice sound so many ways. I was lucky enough to see him live with Wings and was 20 feet away from him approximately. Even in a huge arena, I could hear his voice directly. He is a one of a kind musician. The ability to play melodic bass (a lefty) and sing at the same time is not real common. I know he must have began singing at a very young age. Imagine all of the singing and practicing he has done. It is no wonder that he is so unique and talented. IRREPLACEABLE. And no human can copy what he has done throughout his life. It is no surprise that he is a billionaire and rated among the top 10 favorite singers in the World. I don't know him personally. But he has had an impact on my life. I love the guy. I hope he outlives me. I do not want to ever hear that he has truly passed away. And shame on the people trying to, once again, try to say that Paul died years ago SHAME!
you never give me your money is one of my favorite vocal changes within one song that he has done....so glad you included his wings career...as an infant I heard silly love songs , and his voice just got into every fiber of my toddler bod lol....so going back as a teen in the 90s and immersing myself in all of his material from his beatles days through contemporary I was blown away at his vocal ability...the wings over America tour was just a dazzling display of live vocals...I always felt he had the best in tune rasp in rock history..the live maybe I'm amazed from 1976, or the 1979 live version of coming up are two examples of his in tune rock rasp. you really went deep into his catalog...awesome job..loved it . you were spot on with You Never Give Me Your Money...super job

I couldn't have put that better myself (and don't forget, he also sings the bass line on "I Will" too.)

I've always adored his voice and thought it's sooooo underrated, like really.
Your video actually shows how much you know his discography
Macca is definitely *not* underrated by our generation… more like worshipped.
@́ th-cam.com/video/JcmylxQ0ma4/w-d-xo.html

@@droboogie8465 Great memory. I'd love to have seen that. Here in the UK, I can still remember how the Sgt. Pepper cover art alone made such a huge impact on the public's perception of the band. There was a full page, colour advertisement in the Sunday Times that simply reproduced the front cover of the new Beatles album and I was fascinated by it. It was so different from anything I'd ever seen.
Somebody once said that the release of Pepper was like the moment in The Wizard of Oz when everything changes from black and white to colour. What a great comparison that is!
Sir Paul is a musical genius.....pure and simple.
The Man of The Thousand Voices, Talking Perfectly Loud. Thank you, much love
I didn’t know it was Paul singing Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Five until a few years ago. Incredible range and it’s one of my favorites.
There's video footage on you tube of this. In the studio he's puffing on something that enables him to really let rip. Shows his rhythm too, rarely seen without holding an instrument. Worth looking up.
Thats one of My favourite songs ever!!
Heard that song for the first time ever in a bar in Belfast, hungover, with my bandmates about ten years ago. We were wondering who the f it was. It was only once the Band on the Run bit came in that we realised it was McCartney. Incredible song, arrangement, and vocal.
I always loved his vaudeville voice in a day in life singing "Woke up, fell out of bed, dragged a comb across my head...."
McCartney is the true Artist of Millennium!!!
Was ? He is still Alive and his McCartney III include two wonderful voice lines
McCartney .... IS.....the true artist.....I'm so greatfull I have witnessed it

Thanks for this Aimee. I'm always in disbelief that McCartney doesn't top every single list of top vocalists of all time. A true critical listener really has no choice but to place him at the top - especially if versatility is a factor. Bing Crosby, Freddy Mercury, Ray Charles, Michael Jackson, etc are really phenomenal for the way they can sing. But McCartney is just as phenomenal in like 8 different singing styles. I would say Elvis also had versatility. The thing with McCarney is, we are just talking about his voice. We could start an entire new thread on his song writing which is truly without comparison. And then his bass playing ability.... McCartney is truly otherwordly.
A perfect summary. I am made very happy to know there are intelligent listeners out there who are very aware of all his amazing musical skills. Thank you for a great post.
Totally agree
Абсолютный гений.
monkberry moon delight-a masterpiece
I effing love that song too. Played it for a Tom Waits fan pal of mine who was a little less appreciative of Macca than he should have been. "There ya go, Tom Waits before Tom Waits, and don't forget ''Why Don't We Do It In the Road.' "
"Yeah. Interesting. Good stuff man," he was compelled to say.
Finding that song mentioned a lot lately. It also shows Paul's wild sometimes absurdist sense of humor too.
A friend of mine who was getting into the Beatles once asked me who else sings on Golden Slumbers apart from Paul. They couldn't believe it was all just one person's voice
Yes! As much as I love singers like Elvis Presley, Freddie Mercury, Robert Plant, Paul Rodgers, David Bowie, Jim Morrison, Frank Sinatra, etc., if I could steal just one person's voice, it'd be Paul's. I'd argue, all around, best in show, Paul had the greatest voice, versatility, ability, and prowess for singing of all time.
Paul at age 22, I've always said his is the voice I'd steal if I could.
agree 100%%%% !!! but don.t forget to give credit to Mickey Dolenz often overlooked but he has one fantastic rocknroll voice!!
@@edboyce7466 --Yes Mickey Dolenz has a great voice,I never mentioned it on my 'list' of 'Plant,Marriott,Mercury etc because I thought it was just my personal taste but glad to see there are 'others' out there
Give me Paul's voice at age 34 (1976, Wings Over America tour) forever and I'll give up every other rocker I adore.
The fact that this man was in a band with George Harrison and John Lennon still blows my mind
¿Porqué? Ningún otro estaría a su altura, ellos fueron hechos para estar juntos
And Ringo Starr. Come on!
Easily the greatest, most-versatile singer of the 20th Century. That's Just The Way It Is.
True talent. When I was 8 years old I remember seeing the The Beatles at Blackpool in UK. My parents took all 5 of us kids. We ranged from 6 years old up to 15 years old. Lot of screaming 😱. But a nice memory to tell my now great grandkids. Thru all five generations now The Beatles is a band we’ve listened too.
That’s amazing! Love your story 😍
No talent comes close to Paul. No one, not Dylan, not Elvis, not Jackson, no one.
But he gets a hard time because he was never classed as the cool one and is willing to experiment with song like the Frog Chorus.
You take his vast library of work against anyone else and take the great songs he was part of in The Beatles, Wings and as a solo artist and it is phenomenal.
Great video.. peace
It's about time someone made this video
so true.. Paul was Paul, John was John , George was George , Ringo was Ringo and together they were the Beatles! Say no More... but Paul.s voice is a treasure often overlooked.. funny i try not to "over listen to" Beatles music but for the last year i have been binging on Beatles on TH-cam ... i caved and i.m glad i did.... what was i thinking??
Love Monkberry Moon Delight... Love His RAM album, Backseat of My Car, and Wildlife album, Some People Never Know.. A also love Linda singing with him.. so distinctive.. Thank you Aimee for this...Beautiful
I Agree. Even if linda's vocals aren't perfect, they add a disticntive sound to RAM my favorite solo album from paul
Love Monkberry Moon Delight too Dennis. But for years I was singing -"Catch up, super fury' and only discovered the proper lyrics recently - "Ketchup, soup and puree"! I don't think I got any of the lyrics right to be honest!
I have a Master’s degree in music education and have been a huge Sir Paul fan and follower through a musical study of his entire career. You touched on everything spot on!
If you don't mind me asking...Do you think Paul throughout his solo career has sometimes copped very unfair criticism due to a tendency for the masses and some critics to put image before music? Thumbs aloft and all that. His ability to remain 'ordinary' as a person I think sometimes lead critics to cast his music in that light which for their part showed little knowledge and appreciation for music.
You Never Give Me Your Money is an amazing vocal performance, as is Monkberry Moon Delight, Golden Slumbers, Maybe Im Amazed, and so many others. The best and most varied singer by far IMO
How could you miss "Girlfriend" on Paul's falsetto, or " Country Dreamer" or " I've just seen a Face" on Paul's country....just kidding, there are hundreds of examples of his thousands voices... He is so much the biggest songwriter and multiinstrument player,,than we often forget what an outstanding singer he is...your video is a fine reminder,great job!!
I saw Paul McCartney live in 2015. His voice has obviously aged, but he’s still got the versatility. I’m a soprano, but before I even know what that meant, I learned how to make my low range really warm and melodic by singing along and mimicking him as best I could. I love him, and I love this video! :)
You saw Billy Shepherd. Paul McCartney died in 1966.
this is 1000000% spot on beautifully put with all the right examples. Paul's vocals bring tears to mine eyes.
Absolutely.
Very true. I used to wonder if it was him singing on Back in the USSR because his voice sounded so different. But it is him. He uses an amazing gruff voice on that song.
That was his Elvis voice.
Twas Billy
That’s Billy shears
@@carltroia6235 Back in USSR in reverse contains such gems as "I Like To Use Him Yes" "SAY SAY WILLIAM CAMBELL" and "I SANG AS HIM"
His blues voice actually was his Little Richard takeoff. His Elvis voice could be found in the one section of You Never Give Me Your Money and Lady Madonna. An incredible vocal talent!
I think he said Lady Madonna was him doing Fats Domino
Paul’s Elvis voice is most prevalent in “Like Dreamer’s Do”, definitely by far. It’s like he’s doing an Elvis impersonation
He's also doing a bit of Elvis on "Name & Address" from the 1978 Wings album London Town
@@fifthbeatle That makes sense as he wrote Like Dreamers Do at 17 and Elvis was one of his first influences. Fun fact: Like Dreamer's Do is actually the reason why the Beatles got signed. Sid Colman and Kim Bennet who were two employees of an EMI subsidiary convinced EMI to sign them because they thought Like Dreamer's Do was going to be a hit. They would only get the publishing rights to that song and others if they gave the Beatles a recording contract.
ECW 14 Yeah I heard about that too! Absolutely insane that a song he wrote when he was 17 basically became one of the biggest contributing factors for the Beatles getting set up for unlimited success with the most perfect and open minded producer that they could’ve possibly been teamed up with. The question is, why didn’t the Beatles actually officially record Like Dreamer’s Do under EMI and release it as a single or include it on an album! I’ve heard that Paul himself despised it… but how could you hate such a melodic and unspeakably beautiful song!
My favorite singer of all time hands down.
Mine too ♥️
Paul is one of the best singers ever.
What an intelligent, informative and engaging video you have made. Why Paul does not get more acknowledgement for his vocal versatility is beyond me. I think the tendency to think of John (who I love too) as the most talented Beatle continues to distort actual truths. John wrote some beautiful songs and he could sing ballads like Julia and rock out with Twist and Shout but McCartney vocal gymnastics has never been beaten my any other singer I can think of. Additionally he is pretty handy at the playing of many instruments.
Your musical favourites are both great example of this vocal versatility but also include some of my favourites too. Some random picks from me would include: Blackbird (those chord progressions), Eleanor Rigby, Oh! Darlin', Coming Up (both versions), Maybe I'm Amazed (what a vocal! Heaps better than Imagine), I'm Carrying, My Brave Face, Flying to My Home (what a great example of what Paul can do with his voice), Kansas City (Live 93), Beautiful Night, Baby's Request, the gorgeous Calico Skies and the absolute classic My Valentine. Too bad you don't live in Australia as I have very much of late been thinking what am I going to do with all my huge masses of McCartney material.
In terms of vocal diversity I might compare Blackbird, Got to get You Into My Life, I Will, Oh1 Darlin' Helter Skelter, Maybe I'm Amazed, Monkberry Moon Delight, Mumbo, Dear Friend, You Gave Me the Answer, Call Me Back Again, Beware My Love, Baby's Request, My Brave Face (harmonies), Daytime Night Time Suffering, Flying to My Home, Temporary Secretary, Coming Up (both versions makes for an interesting listen), Calico Skies, Run Devil Run (the entire album!), Lonesome Town, She Said Yeah, Lonely Road, English Tea, Calico Skies, Souvenir (great vocal), My Valentine. The only deliberate vocal approach he adopted that I didn't care for was on Figure of 8 (the album version). Interestingly the single versions of this song changed tact. What an amazing talent he is.
God-level songwriter, singer, bassist, etc.
Excellent run down. 🙏
I also think people paint John as the rock voice and indeed Twist and Shout is awsome. But Paul surpasses this performance many times eg Long Tall Sally, I saw Hee Standing There etc. Also I’ve Got a Feeling is outrageously difficult to sing. He never wrote easy to sing pieces because he had that extensive voices range.
He is always the one in stage having true most fun, outrageously so.
Consider his voice, then factor in his brilliant bass playing.
And guitar, and drums, and writing...
@@VivianDarkbloom1 and most of al piano.
And SONGWRITING
I never heard Billy Joel until recently and my first though was, "He's like an American Paul McCartney."
She's Always a Woman in particular is a very "Paul" song.
I agree. Billy Joel embodies the same kind of character driven tonality with his writing too.
If you are familiar with The Four Seasons, when Billy did "Uptown Girl" I could have sworn it was the Four Seasons!! But Aimee is spot on, Paul can change his voice on a dime, and sing in any style, and write in any style!!! My only criticism with Paul is that all the screaming he has done has ruined his once golden voice...and he won't lower the keys of the tunes to save his voice.
@@Tunz909 You can absolutely hear the Frankie Valli influence in Uptown Girl, yeah.
@@fnjesusfreak I was really just luke warm with Billy prior to the LP with "Uptown Girl" these tunes just blew me away, and I was hooked on Billy ever since! Paul is like "The Bible" for me though......basically can do no wrong for almost going on 60 years!!!
On The Nylon Curtain album you can really hear Billy evoking the Beatles in composition and vocal timbre:
Lennon: Laura, Pressure
Mccartney: Where’s the orchestra, Room of our own
Harrison: Scandinavian skies, Surprises
Not a single bad song on that album!
When you were listening Beatles and Paul McCartney album over more 40 years, you can recognize his voice even in closed eyes.
Wow. You NAILED this. I've been a Beatles fan for close to 50 years, and was a "John" guy growing up. One day, I watched George Martin play Paul's isolated vocal from "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band," and Martin declared "that's a rock voice" (or something similar). That's when Paul's vocal gifts and mastery dawned on me. As I watched your video, I kept thinking "I wonder if she'll mention . . ." and you did, every time! "Oh, Darling" is a MASTERPIECE, and his vocals on "You Never Give Me Your Money" really capture his incredible versatility, but his vocals on "Here, There, and Everywhere" are stunning. Saw him live a few years ago. He's so kind to his audience, he acts like he's really there for them and really appreciates their presence. He's one of a kind. Fantastic video, obviously took a lot of work. Love it!!!
Much thanks
P is for Paul and P is for perfection and nothing is better than perfect. I would like to thank his mom for having him.
* YOUR * mother should know! 😂💜
His voice, his songwriting, his instrumental prowess - and his taste.
Talk about bluesy vocals in The Beatles - 'She's a Woman' is a classic. And 'On the Way' from 'McCartney II' - B.B. King covered that one!
And crooning/jazzy - 'Baby's Request' from 'Back to the Egg' is gorgeous.
For rocker Paul, 'Helter Skelter' is astounding. And let's not forget his amazing guitar solo on George's 'Taxman'.
And much of this goes for John and George, too, and also for Ringo, in terms of his instrumental abilities and taste in his drumming.
Fun fact - 'Yesterday' and 'I'm Down' were recorded in the same session.
Thanks so much for this. I always think Paul's voice is really underrated.
Been listening to the Ram album recently and it had been occurring to me a lot how creative Paul is with his fearlessly diverse vocal approaches. I was so glad to see this segment read my mind! I love these harmonized segment transitions also.
Thank you dear for hearing a man of a thousand voices
Paul
John&
George’s voices are
Burned In my Soul
🎼🎶🎵♥️🌟💙🎸
I really appreciate this appraisal
of Sir Paul's voice.
Great versatility of voice and songs.
In this he has no equal.
I won't have a bad word said about him.
If they do, i give 'em hell.
Wonderful program. Big Paul fan.
This is a really interesting video. Rarely seen anything about his voice. McCartney was by far the best vocalist ever in rock history. Well done for this brill video you really know your stuff.
I'm totally new to you and your channel and thought it was nice, and you did a great job on this video. But you won me over the minute you mentioned, "Monkberry Moon Delight". Now I'm a subscriber. Great work. I'm looking forward to seeing more from you and your channel.
Thank you for these great videos. You have great insight into the details of music.
Totally agree. Paul is the greatest vocalist of all time He can sing any song - ballad, rock, jazz, you name it.
The Beatles were the best group who ever lived, then and now and Paul is sensational, then and now
A musical prodigy, a jack of all trades and master of all, a gift to the human race. That's Paul.
loving these harmonised transitions!
He’s a veryy talented impersonator as well!
Billy Shears
One of TH-cam's many great features is being able to listen to a commentary like this one. I knew Paul was gifted with amazing vocal chords and had learned to use them in various ways as required by the song he or he and John conceived. His voice permitted him to create a catalog of songs with diverse styles, sounds, and ranges. His voice has character that he expertly used. So, thanks Aimee for putting this video together reminding me and the others watching of Paul's greatness.
Excellent! I was 8 years old in Feb 1964 and marked a defining moment in my life. Thanks for this AImee.
I was 8 years old in '64 too. What a magical time for a child to experience such amazing music.
Those "strange noises" Paul does with his tongue are him mimicking a British telephone ringing. The line before this is the line "we'll be sure to give a ring" which was another way of saying they would make a telephone call. The next line is sung through compression simulating what you would might hear over an old school telephone line.
He was the total package, natural songwriting with the ability to dream up melodies, skilled in most musical instruments, great looking, and a wonderful versatile singing voice. The perfect musician.
*IS* The total package!
Paul McCartney es uno de los mejores artistas que ha pisado la tierra y eso se sabe, el hombre de las 5 voces
Es cierto.
Entonces dimash kudaibergen tiene 8 voces.
...his voice is every day on air on radio, TV, stream since 1963 .... isn't it amazing?
@Peter Paul Marin, listen closely to 1963-1965, then Rubber Soul & Revolver, because there is a big change in Sgt Pepper’s…..the voice pattern of print is different than Paul in the early years; look at pictures from Meet The Beatles, Abby Road, Ram….put the pictures side by side….oh, & Sgt Pepper’s…..what do you see??
Exactly!!!! Think hard on this, my friend.
@@susannorth138 Do you make music or do you play an instrument? - Are you a musician? - otherwise it is not worth a conversation ... ♪ ♫
I love how Paul is still experententing with voices today, "Women and Wives" is an example of him trying out a completely new voice he hadn't used perviously. I think there's also a "Folk Paul" you can hear in songs like "Mull of Kintyre" and "Best Love" by Steve Martin ft. Paul
At 77 yrs old, i started my music memories with the Beatles from their earliest LP album Please Please me, now almost worn out. Aimee, you have given me a very deep feeling and understanding of the making and roots of my favorite early Beatles "hymns" - timeless and embedded in my psyche. Thank you deeply.
Paul McCartney has always been my favorite singer of all time for as long as I can remember. I have had the joy of seeing him perform live 5 times in my lifetime. A big reason I love his voice so much is because of his versatility. Someone should do a video on that subject someday. :D
Great video. The only little issue I had was you playing an older Paul singing Helter Skelter. It doesn't really do justice to the recorded version done by Paul in his prime. It's like two entirely different songs.
Nice overview, a man of a thousand voices indeed! My personal favourite vocals are from the b side of his first post Beatle single 'Oh Woman Oh Why' which just is so raw it makes your hair stand on end and that lovely outro at the end of 'Glasses' on McCartney which fades out with the words "Songs of ruin now, I am sitting saying nothing doing"... just magic. Still can't get that out of my head after 40+ years!
"...sometimes I had trouble knowing if it was Paul or not on Beatles' recordings." Fascinating comment.
I do love his crooning. And his rock and his blues…I just love Paul. Thanks for sharing.
Very interesting compilation, Aimee. Well done. I really enjoyed it. I am also a fan of Paul and his vocal abilities and musicianship, not to mention his amazing songwriting. He has been a mentor to me.
One of, if not THEE, biggest musical influences of my life
I asked my daughter to listen to Abbey Road at the time she was 20, she couldn't believe that they changed their vocal style depending on the song - obvious to me but maybe not to the younger generation - its one of her favourite albums
paul getting an appreciation he deserves in this video and in the comments... we love to see it
thank you so much for making this video, about time we actually talk about paul's talent!
Nice to hear someone recognize this aspect of his great talent. I'm amazed at how many different voices he uses on the RAM album. You mentioned three or four of them here in just two songs. If you count the background vocals, I bet it would be at least a dozen.
A very insightful view of why we've never tired of his music. Thanks.
My all time favourite record from Paul McCartney is “life and let die” the James Bond song. Awesome
Thanks for this. Macca's writing gifts are so deep that it's easy to forget that he's also likely the greatest pop/rock singer of all time, too.
For the longest time I thought that it was John singing the second part, I really couldn't believe that it was all Paul (on a number of songs of the medley). Paul's singing, songwriting and his bass playing ... oh man, unbelievable.
Also his guitar playing and drumming. He can do anything
A legend. I can't avoid to cry when I watch these type of videos where people talk about the talent of Paul. It's so crazy how talented he is. The king of melody, definitely. A man who loves so deep the music. Proud to Paul and proud to be fan of his stunning precious career. The one and only, it's a blessing he's with us in this world.
Hey this is really nicely put together..my parents like him and I know like every song and you do him so much respect with this❤ hope he sees it too one day
Great insight and analysis. My favorite singer ever.
Funny moment from about 2 minutes in: A guy walks up to Paul in the crowd, says: "I love you Paul. Your music got played on my dad's funeral." Paul: "Oh! Say hi to him!"
I noticed that - though the guy also said his brother is named after Paul, so maybe it was that.
@@SAK1855 I agree, I think he meant his brother
Like the others said, he was talking about the guy's brother that is named after Paul
Excellent analysis- congratulations!
🤩
Great video. The fact that Paul recorded the vocals to both Yesterday and I’m Down in the same day (June 14th 1965) will forever blow my mind.
Yes, that was not long before he died.
Paul did I've Just Seen A Face on the same day as well
I discovered the Beatles when I was a teenager and I immedaitely fell in love with their music. They were my favorite band for many years. When i discovered them i didn't know much music and I didn't know many other singers to compare them with. They became so familiar that i never questioned this kind of things later. The Beatles and their voices are as familiar to me as my parentes or the city I was born in. You don't usually judge those things objetively. Now that i thing about it, you're right! I can't think of other singers that sing in so many different styles! But at the same time all is coherent. It's all him.
Thanks Aimee, yes he is a living legend for sure. Makes me feel justified, that someone from your generation appreciates his talent, and not just a boomer like myself who grew up with the music. God Bless you and thanks again Bruce:-)
Yes I agree but Aimee is not just someone from a new generation. It is fashionable in some quarters to declare that the Beatles are over-rated etc. But when Aimee shows her appreciation we can be assured that back then we were indeed right to feel something special was happening.
Worth noting that when Paul lived in that street it was middle class and he was going to one of the best schools in the country, the Liverpool Institute for boys - along with my dad and his brother.
His success has a lot to do with having a great father and great teachers even though he wasn't very academic outside of the art and music teaching that he was streamed into. He completed the full seven years though, the school photos prove it. They're online.
It´s an amazing channel I just found. I didn´t even know Sir Paul has so many voices . They are all wonderful. Thank you for posting this.
All so very true. He is such a phenomenal performer. So many listeners can never get enough of him!
Paul was always my favorite. I love their music.
“You know my name look up the number” showcases Paul’s vocal range beautifully. He goes from screeching rock and roll to smooth American Sinatra-esque lounge singer to utter British silliness. And yes, as others have said, in “Uncle Albert” he’s mimicking the sound of an old-fashioned telephone ringing, then the sound of the phone being picked up, then the voice over the telephone.
Learned that from his stint as VIV STANSHALL
Paul motivated me to experiment with my voice, especially when it comes to singing different styles of songs. The versatile, voice chameleon that he is, I’ll always love that marvelous man!
It’s incredible such a vocal versality!!
his voice is my favorite in the world. i can't think of a voice that I love more than his, in every which way he sings
He's very good but have you heard Elton John on songs like "High Flying Bird" or "Mona Lisa" or "Mad Hatters" or "Friends" or "Blues for Baby and Me"?🙂
Over all of the many years I have heard Paul speak and sing. It is incredible how strong his voice is. He has done comic character type voices, joked around and has the ability to shape his voice sound so many ways. I was lucky enough to see him live with Wings and was 20 feet away from him approximately. Even in a huge arena, I could hear his voice directly. He is a one of a kind musician. The ability to play melodic bass (a lefty) and sing at the same time is not real common. I know he must have began singing at a very young age. Imagine all of the singing and practicing he has done. It is no wonder that he is so unique and talented. IRREPLACEABLE. And no human can copy what he has done throughout his life. It is no surprise that he is a billionaire and rated among the top 10 favorite singers in the World. I don't know him personally. But he has had an impact on my life. I love the guy. I hope he outlives me. I do not want to ever hear that he has truly passed away. And shame on the people trying to, once again, try to say that Paul died years ago SHAME!
Nothing beats the screaming, rocking Paul in I’ve Got a Feeling!
Perfectly said. Coming from Liverpool myself. Its great to think our Paul is so versatile x
Huge Paul fan here, seen him in concert 5 times...your video was excellent!
Very Cool Aimee.....I totally Agree...Our Favorites align...I was on the road with Paul on the 93 Tour.....Thanx for the great Vid
you never give me your money is one of my favorite vocal changes within one song that he has done....so glad you included his wings career...as an infant I heard silly love songs , and his voice just got into every fiber of my toddler bod lol....so going back as a teen in the 90s and immersing myself in all of his material from his beatles days through contemporary I was blown away at his vocal ability...the wings over America tour was just a dazzling display of live vocals...I always felt he had the best in tune rasp in rock history..the live maybe I'm amazed from 1976, or the 1979 live version of coming up are two examples of his in tune rock rasp. you really went deep into his catalog...awesome job..loved it . you were spot on with You Never Give Me Your Money...super job
