I like George's singing but....

[7 of 13]

While George wasnt the worlds best singer he was a deep thinker and that came out in his lyrics, I absolutely love the words to somgs like WYAWY and The Inner Light....superb.
George also had a tenth of the ego of John & Paul and is probably the Beatle I would have most like to go to dinner with..

there you go.

i just plain like the way georges voice inflects so much emotion into song lyrics and words, yet he still can maintain that rockabilly edge IMHO.
;yes

I don't see George as a great singer (Paul was the best vocalist of the group, IMO) but his voice has a very soothing quality to it, I find it to be comforting.

Just a thought: I find George's singing on 'While My guitar Gently Weeps' to be chilling. I think it's his best lead vocal piece with the group. He was always excellent on back-up, too. Check some of those live performances. Always on key and full of energy. He was good.

savoy truffle, piggies, it don't come easy, everybodys trying to be my baby, do you want to know a secret, think for yourself, i need you. yes george could sing.

I think he did a good job of Roll over Beethoven also.

Been listening to the Dark Horse Tour '74 boots and I must say that's the best version of Give Me Love I've heard, heart and soul indeed...

I like George's voice too much. I think his voice is the exact timbre for The Beatles in all the early songs like "You're gonna loose that girl", "This Boy", "Don't bother me", "Please, please me", "Love me do" etc... . Without George's voice the basic timbre for The Beatles wouldn't exist .

I agree Ted. George is crucial to their (can't find the right word) sound, exsistence...

[Klang]

Yep. Each member had a distinct sound, and together they made a wonderful blend.

Say the word and you'll be free
Say the word and be like me
Say the word I'm thinking of
Have you heard the word is love?

I'm a big fan of George but... wow. Perspective needed.
