Born in the U.S.A being recorded in one take is more of an urban legend. The final released version is Take 9 and there were several different arrangemental attempts before that recorded over a few days.

Here's another one I think someone referenced already.. In the "Phil Spector" version of "The Long and Winding Road" from the "Let it Be Album, Paul vocalizes "Don't keep me waiting", but it's almost drowned out by Spector's lush arrangement. You can hear it, but just barely. It's more audible on other versions. And Paul clearly says the line in concert on the "Wings Over America" album...

Elvis' That's Alright was recorded in two takes complete takes. The first had two false starts, there was more lead guitar in the background, and Elvis' vocals were less polished. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pF6lZZSkmNVroMU

I had a list of music videos not far from here which I called One Take Music Videos. It was pointed out to me that there may have been many "takes" to achieve a good continuous shot, and I subsequently renamed the list One Shot Music Videos. There doesn't seem to be quite the same distinction in the Audio world as that between "shot" and "take".

I believe it was two takes, but Claire Torrey's vocal on Great Gig in the Sky (Pink Floyd) is one impressive example of unrehearsed improvisation.

If only the singer is the one doing it in onte take the song is not a one take. It took months to record Billy Jean

Get back and let it be would be in my top 10 of disliked songs beatle songs.

"Yesterday" is the most covered song ever. The actual count varies by source, but estimates range between 2,000 - 3,000 recordings.

'Revolution No. 9' is a skip. Period. I don't know if the others on this list deserve "hate"... or if George Martin used that word in each case, but they're not the best songs.

Not only was Louie Louie recorded in one take, it was recorded with one mic hanging from the ceiling.

You’ll need to research this, but I think David Bowie’s lead vocal on Heroes was also a one-taker, and that he hadn’t completely finalized at least some of the lyrics yet.

The Rutles first album was recorded in twenty minutes. The second one took even longer.

Long Tall Sally by The Beatles was recorded in one take. And they didn't need a second one...

i think this song sounds more beatley than any song on the list. even has backwards guitar.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2XFmX6HjJl_obMsi=PLNVnSVjYajoN8I5

Mike has a thing with combustion, how did his car catch fire.... and a Vocal track is not the same as a whole song. It does not really fit in the 7 Famous Songs That Were Recorded In One Take. Whitney Houston on I Will Always Love You is apparently one take.

Walking in the Rain by the Ronnettes

I believe (I may be wrong) that Andy Timmons guitar parts on the album Andy Timmons Band - Resolution, were all done in one take. It may not have been the first take, and yes, a few tracks have a 2nd guitar part dubbed in in a few spots, but the main, driving guitar parts were all done in one take.

anyone welcome to learn my brother.s ex wife's dad most hated songs from help-album just ask!

Paul wasn't necessarily cold, but he did bury his feelings deep. I feel like I will never get to the real Paul. Even when George passed Paul said in an interview that it was a "bummer"...but Paul actually was crushed. He just never showed his feelings to us, he just used his fan good guy Paul. And that's OK too

Thanks for this. There's a text typo at 2:57 where Bruce Springsteen's name is carried over for Johnny Cash's.

Uh... there's a world of difference between "Twist and shout" (for instance), a genuine one-take, live-in-the-studio recording and, say"Billie Jean" or "Bette Davis eyes"which have numerous overdubs.

author, like most critics of the day, seems triggered by Paul and his contributions.

Even though uncle George, liked or disliked, he knew it was up to the people to judge.

On the single version of revolution, in the middle of the solo part you can hear the german word "nochmal" (engl. repeat or one more time) and on the song yellow submarin you can hear the german word "Abdeckung" (which teanslates to something like cover).

What a ridiculous commentary. Revisionist nonsense.

Sgt pepper reprise, besides George’s ‘bye’. There is some unheard screaming, later in song, I believe on the drum track.

I'm surprised there were only 24 songs.

IT IS THE PERFECT ALBUM

They were all very bad as solo artists. It’s actually amazing how big of quality drop off there is. You go from records that are excellent front to back to total crap surrounding a couple decent songs. Also their sonic pallet became boring and unoriginal. Once they made songs sounding like nothing anyone had ever heard, by the 80’s they sound like every forgettable act of the era most of the time. Between the three of them I think they amassed 4 albums worth listening to as solo artists. Pitiful. It’s a story of egocentricity destroying the greatest band of all time so they can selfishly pursue mediocrity independently.

How Paul wrote a dozen songs and came up with this idea right after REVOLVER is crazy. It’s like he was printing up all his creativity for this one project for his whole career then WHAM

Throughout their tremendous recording career, Revolver's my favorite Beatles record.

The Beatles❤❤❤❤

2:36 to 2:41: "... a sound of 15 kHz, inaudible to the human ear"?? Very probably, I would indeed not be able to hear the tone at my age of 70 years. But by any means, this frequency IS audible by young and even middle-aged persons! And it could be reproduced even by a good hi-fi equipment of the vinyl era...

AI narration?

Atlanta kinda has a blah downtown too, but midtown just north of it is surprisingly urban

There's a difference between "not liking" (comments Martin) and "hating" (sensational KZbin title to lure people who love hate....

Without Martin these Beatles would have meant absolutely nothing and would be completely forgotten, if known in their time at all.

Revolution 9 was inane, talentless drivel from the inane, talentless Ono.

Well, "Only the northern song", "Within you without you" and "One after 909" are all, imo, not too bad even though below average by the Beatles standards. "Revolution #9 is yes, a horrible abomination that should have been included in a Beatles album. I'd like to add here "Love you to" from the "Revolver", imo, very annoying and not good at all song.

Definitely didn't know George could whistle so very well! ❤

All the former Beatles after the break - up did a great job musicians in their own right . Good luck 👍 💓 guys 👦 💙.

It’s always bugged me who whispers the word ‘something’ at 1min 22 secs in the song I want to hold your hand. Any ideas? It’s the only time it appears in the song.

Bad Bunny is a RAPPER not a Pop singer. And Despacito is not Reggaeton 😂

36/100

They were solo

George Martin bridged the gap between being just an A&R man ( as JWL introduced him to Billy Preston as) for EMI and being the Beatles de facto producer, and indeed basically the first pioneering rock producer ever.

George Harrison played bass on Golden Slumbers carry that weight and the end

Interesting as the first three songs would be in my top 25 Beatle songs. Revolution #9 could easily drop off the list depending on my mood on any given day but Only a Northern Song and Within You, Without You would always be in my top 10 favourite songs by the Beatles.

RAM is a masterpiece. Walls and bridges is another masterpiece and All things must pass too.

its Danny not Donny
