I like George's singing but....

[tkitna]

What about the early days, when George got a chance to sing more?  I thought I read somewhere he was considered the strongest singer at the Decca auditions, that John was kind of reticent and Paul oversang his parts.

Colds, hangovers, and lack of sleep was why George was singing so much during those auditions. No wonder they werent signed.

[tkitna]

and yes i think george has a very good hard rock voice,

Where are these examples that cause you to come to this conclusion? All you keep posting are songs George sang back-ups too and songs like 'I Need You' which is so monotone i'm still shaking my head wondering why you posted it.

George was easily the weakest singer out of John and Paul. I cant believe you think he's so good. He's a smooth, expressive singer with barely any range.

Here's a great rocker for you.
George Harrison

Man, that was great.

i don't see where this is going.. what you appear to be trying to say IMHO is that since John sang lead vocals and paul and george sang harmony and backup vocals in twist and shout; that therefore george wasn't really a singer in the rock and roll tradition. or something.   ha2ha

Black Sabbath "Paranoid" Music Video

[glass onion]

hey todd-you KNOW george had been ill before recording that album!!and that is a BRILLIANT george vocal there!!years before bono invented the 'smoke too much' rasp in popular music!!!no?ah well then....................

i am really sorry 7 of 13 but i am inclined to agree with the others......this thread is getting stranger and stranger,and i am not fully understanding some of the comments.it is true that george sang more of his repetoire at the decca audition due to the reasons that tkitna stated,it is fact i'm afraid.much as i would love to agree with you,it is also fact that john and paul had stronger voices,and georges' voice did not suit rockier tunes.sorry.and i was not aware that george wrote or sang blowing in the wind or paranoid.

[larainefan]

I agree John and Paul had stronger voices, though I do like George's voice, which I think lent certain poignancy to songs.  My point about the Decca auditions was he seemed more confident in the early days.

...or sang blowing in the wind or paranoid.

all that glitters is not gold.

By the way, am I the only one who imagines an extra T at the end of the topic title every single time?

Maybe I should just grow up...

Its not crazy when you claim something that isnt true.
