Rusty The Beach Boys. Most of the above mentioned bands had there own unique way of harmonizing though. I enjoyed listening to them, though The Beatles were and still are my favorites.
I think most people lose sight of just how old the Beatles are. When they were making music, color video was barely a thing, TV’s were rare, the Vietnam war hadn’t happened, and the Moon landing hadn’t happened yet. They were around when most popular music was 2-minute covers of songs whose original writers are nearly impossible to track. Despite their age they have remained timeless and their music still holds up today.
@@bluepeng8895 6 years ago seems like forever. How long has that been going on? Moore’s Law? A Britney Spears song recorded yesterday sounds just like a Britney Spears song recorded 6 years ago. No way to tell the difference. Try listening to Ask Me Why and then listen to Happiness is A Warm Gun. I bet you can tell who’s older.
It is just mind-blowing to me that one band had both Lennon and McCartney's voices. Voices that were so different from each other's, but harmonized so beautifully
He liked the song but hated the recording of it. He felt it got needlessly sped up to make it a hit “pop song.” Then again, that’s also coming from someone who said he thought every single Beatles song was recorded badly.
@@russellschwartz9687 And that is why i would give a lot to hear John Lennon's own version of Help, I wanna hold your hand, etc. He did re-record first stanza of Help in 1970 though. And I wonder why the other guys never finished it up like they did with Real Love na Free as a Bird. Maybe its due to the fact that there wasn't a full song. You know when i look back upon the history of this band, i keep getting the impression that somehow the destiny itelf intervened and disallowed most of those songs to ever be changed or updated in any way. Even by those, who wrote them.
Nth Degree maybe... but John has the perfect intention, the perfect mood, the perfect everything behind his singing... I mean, it's more important what you do with your voice than your voice
He was a great singer but he cheated a little bit using ADT. artificial double tracking.. He'd sing it once and the engineer would record a second delay vocal.
@@colins9559 - you're right. Ken Townsend developed the technique in 1966 because Lennon absolutely hated double-tracking but knew it was essential on their lead vocal tracks. Lennon was pretty good at it, though. McCartney, who had the best ears of the four, was so good that it was hard to tell it was doubled. Harrison was very sloppy, and it's usually very obvious in early recordings, like "Don't Bother Me", and "I'm Happy Just to Dance With You".
Such talented singers who could double-track their lead vocals so accurately and obviously without auto-tune. It gave their lead vocals such a huge sound!
Grew up listening to the Beatles in the 60's. John's voice always had that little raw edge and Paul the softer sound. Together, perfect harmony and then you throw in George, F**K how did that all happen together..?
I'm trying to distract myself from all the news about Covid19... Been watching Beatles videos lately and RU-vid recommended this gem! Thank you for this video! I hope you are OK!
Of course it's nothing like the real thing, but I remember being able to hear isolated instruments by listening to a midi version of a song and playing just a single channel at a time. Sadly midi has pretty much disappeared.
Incredible how nuanced this is. Makes me realise why the music is SO appealing. The x factor really is the sculptured beauty of the combined voices emanating from the beautiful boys. Detail such as the 'mmmmm' on the final 'me ee ee oohhhmmmm' choir like in its brilliance.
It's very hard to insolate vocals or any other sound via software if there are any other instruments mixed in. In this case, artifacts appears when the volume of the voices decay.
One of the greatest vocal groups of all time, and the funny thing is; even THEY didn't realize at that point in time, what a tremendous effect they would have on the world. When I was six years old, I got my first record from my father because he didn't like it. "Meet The Beatles" I wore that record out and my parents with it!
Absolutely brilliant fantastic amazing beautiful John Paul and George had one of the best harmonies and why they are still the greatest band ever long live the Fab Four
it's one of the best Beatles albums!!! if some one doesn't know The Beatles, I would play him/her this album!! it has all the freshness and energy of the early albums with the mature instrospective sound of the late albums... the perfect balance!! to me Help is #1 as usual ppl is wrong
@@DiazdelVivar - Norwegian Wood, Nowhere Man, You won't see me, Think for yourself, The Word, What goes on, Michelle, Girl, I'm looking through you, In my life, Wait, If I needed someone, Run for your life, Drive my car.
Their harmonies are just so perfect! What I love most about Beatles songs are the multifaceted nature of their songs. You could pick any track from a song and hear something that you missed from hearing all tracks combined to make the song. The Beatles earned their place in history and their songs will never grow old.
Mr. Harrison always said "that he liked the way John phrasing the songs" and when i read that, i ran again to my record player put on "HELP", "GIRL", "I FEEL FINE", "A DAY IN THE LIFE", "IN MY LIFE", "ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE" and of course "STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER" and like always fell in love with "THE BEATLES" music ART... and when ever again came one year and birthday, i only wish: 1. A little sunlight through the storm, 2. To know that my beloved ones are OK and 3. And one BEATLES song to fill my day.. peace & kudos to you out in cyberspace from Guadalajara, México agosto 20-2020 ✌🏻😎
A masterpiece!!! They lyrics, harmony and melody of this song entranced a generation. I feel sorry for today's kids, what passes for music today is empty noise.
Don’t leave out the Bee Gees. They not only had exquisite harmonies in their compositions but delivered them for decades. That kind of genius should not bet overlooked or forgotten.
I believe George Martin is one of the unsung heroes connected to the Beatles music. I think he inspired & guided the Fab 4 & their music would not have been the same without him. As far as i'm concerned maybe Fab 5 would be more appropriate.
And the Crazy thing about their music is the technology that they had to work with. 2 track and 4 track machines until halfway through the white album. They recorded the harmony vocals facing each other on one mic, doing the lead and harmonies at the same time. Thats why they were so tight!
Please also do The Beatles songs in their ABBEY ROAD album, or CD. One of their songs which is very charming, and it is called " BECAUSE " in particular.
A brilliant song! I remember my amazement when it first came out. Not only that - here was a pop legend admitting to not being confident about life. A lot of us secretly related to that. Also, it was a stroke of genius to start the third verse without the vocal harmonies to give John's raw voice more emphasis. Also that chord change on "younger" . . .
@D W I'm 58 and of course I may be wrong. Every live version I've heard so far I hear a flub. I've heard many boots and official releases. Never saw them live. Just an observation from my own experience. Feel free to point me to a live version of Help without flubbed Lennon lyrics. I'll gladly stand corrected, my brother.✌
@D W Sorry DW but Mark is absolutely correct. John always had a problem getting words right, even with Paul and George singing the right ones just before John. Yet he could remember the words to stuff like Come Together. Even when the Beatles lip synced Help, you could see John still sing the wrong second verse.
