I always wondered why Paul was screaming during "Golden Slumbers" if it's supposed to be a lullaby?
Great vocals though. Some of Paul's best. He really hit his stride as a vocalist on "Abbey Road" (Oh Darling, etc.)--it's funny how his singing just wasn't as strong on his solo recordings. Maybe having George Martin in the booth to get another take has something to do with it?
Of the songs listed I think "Let it Be" strikes into something very primal, universal and mystical--even more than "Hey Jude" or "Yesterday." Simple lyrics, but each word absolutely essential. |
