John stated that when George left the Beatles (temporarily) during the Let It Be recordings, I believe, he thought that if anyone was going to come in to replace George that it would be Clapton. In this brief duo between he and Mac you could tell that, while not George, he would have blended in nicely with the other 3.

[@con1q2w]

@@barryw2659 That's so interesting to hear. I know Clapton was close with them and collaborated on a few things. I've heard of him referred to as a candidate for the "5th Beatle", though I think that goes to George Martin hands down, with Billy Preston in second place.

[@ria8977]

[@robmorrison1043]

Olivia Harrison thought Eric should do this song solo. Paul had been doing it on ukelele during his shows, and wanted to do it. This was the compromise, and it turned out to be a masterpiece! Beautiful version.

[@redletter2008]

rob morrison - I liked how this turned out. It seemed appropriate that Paul, who contributed more to the song than anyone after George, take the lead. This was arguably George’s most important Beatles song, and one Paul admired. Paul’s contributions to the studio version were great and his performance here was quite special.

So he said to George, "Hey you've got to hand it to me, I did all that at 23 years old!" at which George went "Well what was I doing at 23..." at which his eyes began to gleam "I was doing 'Sgt Peppers'."

[@williamadamsmusic3025]

The one thing that The Beatles did successfully was to be the first BAND. It's why it took them so long to get a recording contract... No one in "the biz" could figure out who was the leader... The Beatles were the first BAND... Four equal Brothers, no leader to focus on... No Buddy Holly and the Crickets... No Elvis with his band... Just four amazing band. Thank God for George Martin to recognize that they wouldn't work if it was John Lennon and the Beatles, or Paul McCartney and the Beatles... Just THE BEATLES!!! That's one of the things that set them apart from everyone else... Then bands started getting signed: The Stones, The Byrd's, The Beach Boys... It happened so quickly that, in hindsight, it's hard to imagine that they were the first to be a bandj of brothers, and each Brother brought their own brilliance to that amazing group... Never mind that they single handedly wrote the anthems of our lives. At Billy Joel's LAST PLAY AT SHEA, he flat out said that none of the people on that stage if The Beatles hadn't done what they did. The Beatles songs really were the soundtrack of our lives! Think about this: The Beatles broke up in 1971, fifty years ago, but they're fan base is still growing! Now my four year old grandson runs around singing Yellow Submarine, Octopuses Garden, even With A Little Help From My Friends!!! I've seen Paul twice and the audience included children, adolescents, middle aged folks, and seniors!!! I've never seen an artist draw so many young people. I cried through most of the show... And then I looked around and realized that everyone, including thousands of young people who were born many generations before The Beatles broke up. That proved to me that the power of those four guy's songs haven't slowed drawing in new fans in the fifty years since they broke up. Not even The Stones (whom I love) are in that class. There's only one band that's still as huge and powerful as they were after breaking up, and that's The Beatles!!! Thank you John, Paul, George and Ringo! God bless you and keep on rocking our lives! ps. R.I.P. John Lennon and George Harrison. I'll miss you for the rest of my life!

Clapton is actually a better singer than George. They have similar vocal ranges.

[@indigofruit8710]

@@wmarkdyer Different styles, and if you've sung in a band you will know there are a lot of aspects to being a good singer. Neither George nor Eric are extraverts but their singing suits their personalities. George's solo style verged on the Dylanesque which made him different from John and Paul. Eric's vocal back catalogue includes the impressive World of Pain, Sunshine of Your Love, I feel Free and other work with Jack Bruce & encouraged by Ahmed Ertegun, but later he delivered some pretty good blues in the style of Ray Charles, in an era when white mans blues was popular with british and American audiences.

[@diffbreak2366]

@@wmarkdyer That's not true. Eric can never get that groove in the vocal dynamics. After all, George mastered his craft with the master vocalists Paul and John. George's vocal harmonies, though much eclipsed by McCartney's, were quite extraordinary even in the early Beatles days. The silky texture of his voice unraveled later was enough to make Paul and John to pause, take note, and provide him at least some space on the records. Even amongst the soundalikes in Traveling Wilburys, George's parts stand out. Eric is good at what he does best, the guitar. Even here, but for Paul's magnanimity to let a friend sing his band's song. It must have been an honor for Eric to sing a Beatles song in the presence of two of the Beatles themselves. I'm quite sure ifJohn were around, he would have sang the song perhaps in his own style.
