 Maybe it was Mal who really replaced Paul after he was killed

Oh ok I missed that Meanie, some people thank it's Paul some people think it's John, ever since 1967 I thought it was John it just sounds too nasally for Paul but Now Geoff emerick who is the only guy who was there has actually confirmed that it was John I don't think any of us are qualified to argue with him, he remembers things in detail and he is an engineer so that's good enough for me.

It was Paul

It always sounds like John to me. But how reliable Geoff is is questionable. Part of the criticism of his memoir was that he went round talking to other people who were at the sessions to help him remember, as he'd been on the record at interviews well before writing it that he really couldn't remember much detail. Apparently he then claimed other people anecdotes as his own  ha2ha

I always thought that, too; the voice sounds just like John to me. Like you said, Nimrod, too nasal to be Paul.

It wasn't me.  But this short video is much better...

After Paul sings "and somebody spoke and I went into a dream," he draws a breath and sings the ahhhs.

I read YouTube today, oh boy.....

Actually it was a few days ago and it brought a wry smile to my face as it was a Beatles fansite and this very subject cropped up...unlike this forum, the protagonists there were unfamiliar with this saga; it seemed a fairly new controversy to them. The consensus seemed to be that John initiated and carried the "Aaaahhhh" with Paul joining in about half way through.

Personally I think there is a good case for suspecting they both sang it, but I always felt John had the stronger and more distinctive voice, so it's his "aaaahhhh" which always prevails in my ears.......

Yes! I've always thought that but I don't think I've ever bothered to say so. I figured I was the only one.
