Someone did...

...but he wasn't much help.

That's because he was already dead by then.

It is said that the final chord was produced by all four Beatles and George Martin banging on three pianos simultaneously. As the sound diminished, the engineer boosted to faders. The resulting note lasts 42 seconds; the studio air conditioners can be heard toward the end as the faders were pushed to the limit to record it. A creaking musician's chair is also heard during the final piano chord.

But this is what really happened...

You've got to hand it to that Paul McCartney. He really knows his job.

Yes it is. Maybe Paul will finally admit it in his next video.

But until then, let's listen to their isolated vocals...

Paul draws a breath after saying "Found my way upstairs and had a smoke and somebody spoke and I went into a dream" and starts singing the ahhhs

And so it was Paul.

Quod erat demonstrandum

I'm still undecided.......a fence sitter.

I spent 40 years thinking it was John. It's not easy to change horses at this stage of proceedings. $:-\$

Hello Goodbye · « **Reply #34 on:** December 23, 2021, 02:32:08 AM »

And ever since 1967, I've been sure it was Paul.

Paul recorded his ahhhs in the Abbey Road Studio Two echo chamber...

For about $50 USD, you can buy the Waves Abbey Road Chambers Reverb Plugin...

...and sing your very own ahhhs and hear how you sound.

Didnt Geoff and Giles say it was John ?

blmeanie · « **Reply #37 on:** December 23, 2021, 11:52:46 AM »

I've always been in the "it's John" camp but after watching Get Back and how flexible they were with their voices, I believe they both had elements in it. Got to remember, in Pepper time, they were overdubbing everything, not playing "live" so much so easy to layer both in, even up against other vocal parts that would have left them out of breath heading into such a large ahhhh part if recorded live

Always thought it was John. Dont care if its even proven that Paul did them, it'll always be John to me.

Giles wasn't there. He wasn't even born yet.

Geoff went out for a smoke when Paul sang the ahhhs. When he came back, he asked "Who sang that?" Paul raised his hand and answered "I did!"

And there you have it.

And besides that, Paul's ahhhs in Lovely Rita sound the same...
