Most bands look for their sound and stick with it. The Beatles on the other hand said OK we did that, now what can we do next. That is what made them special.

[@randy8297]

Harpsichord s what you're thinking of. Actually George Martin slowed down the speed of the tape and played piano over it then sped it back to normal speed to make that sound.

[@romine777]

To me, the harpsichord is a wonderful instrument. A great example is "Love is Blue" which is an instrumental with Paul Mauriat.

[@mgonzales56]

Ditto. Couldn't have said it better myself. Amazing song.

[@jayjaybee]

I didn't know that--thanks for sharing!❤

[@jaycorby]

@@romine777 How about the song 'Lady Jane' by the Rolling Stones? That's fantastic harpsicord work in that one.

[@jaycorby]

Actually, a real harpsicord is not used in 'Lady Jane' - Brian Jones ( RIP ) plays the electric dulcimer, and with the guitar accompaniment it sounds like their using the harpsicord.

[@KajunMoo70]

My husband, Bob (deceased in 2020) and I were huge Beatles fans. This was the song I always told him that expressed my love for him💜

[@B.R.0101]

This is warm and beautiful!!

I'm sorry for your loss. 🙏🏼

Ringo’s drumming is the Human heart beating.

[@waynewolverton636]

I’m 67 and Grew Up with The Beatles! A Couple of Years Ago on New Years Day I hit Shuffle on my Favorite Playlist, the Very FIRST SONG That I HEARD that Year was In My Life! Shortly after, the Tears were helplessly running Down! This is One of The GREATEST Songs EVER!! And the GREATEST MUSIC EVER Came Out BETWEEN 1955-1975!!! R&R, R&B, SOUL, COUNTRY, MOTOWN!!! It Was ALL FANTASTIC! WE BABY BOOMERS Were SO BLESSED To GROW UP In that ERA!!!!!

[@Widkey]

When I heard 'A day in the life' by the Beatles, that was the song that sealed it for me.. greatest band of all time.

[@danacasey8543]

I've been a Beatles fan since I saw them on the Ed Sullivan Show when I was 8 years old. I raised my kids on the Beatles and then the rock music from 60s, 70s & 80s. When my son got his first car, he put a huge sound system in it and would bump down the road to the Beatles! He got lots of thumbs up from old geezers and young folks! And don't get started on the classical music he played! Lots of Mozart, Beethoven and Tchaikovsky! Yes, I raised them right!

[@cynergy4]

We must be the same age 😊

[@mikeguerrero72]

Sounds like my life. Music was always playing and it expands your taste of songs and artists. Sinatra to The Stones, The Beatles to The Mills Brothers I loved it all.

[@patdonnelly9392]

I was introduced to the Beatles at 2 yrs. old in '64 . My family Loved The Beatles (even my suit wearing, straight laced Dad!) . My parents took us all next door to the neighbors house to watch them on Ed Sullivan. So, there's no telling what the 1st song I remember was. But at 62 yrs. old I love them just as much as I ever did. Their music will always be a huge part of my life.

[@dilipbagwe3600]

First song of the Beatles that blew me up was 'Hard days night' when I was in school.

[@positivebanchory]

Love the Beatles, such an amazing catalogue of songs. I remember listen to them in the 60’s and still listening 6 decades later

[@marysweeney7370]

Great review. You covered all the highlights of the song. Yes, John's voice is emotional and wonderful! Welcome to the Beatles Fan Club!!!

[@kengause9259]

The piano piece is by George Martin. He played a piano and it was sped up to sound like a harpsichord.

[@dimitrioskarastamatis4919]

It was John's idea to speed it up! Martin couldn't get it right and John suggested to play it slowly then speed it up.

[@susieq9801]

I had a friend who attended The Beatles concert with me in Toronto. She loved the Beatles and this song. Later she developed an inoperable brain tumour. In hospice she asked me to play one of their LP's (cassettes back then). She smiled when this song came on and closed her eyes for the last time.

[@robertszekely8686]

This is one of my favorite songs of the Beatles. Will always be in the top ten of my list. The first song I remember hearing of the Beatles would be She Loves You. It was in 1975 when I heard, and I was about six years old. I thought it was great, and I knew I had to hear more of their songs.

[@hichembarrak]

One of the most beautiful songs by The Beatles IMO. Ringo Starr did a hell of a job and Paul's piano's solo is out of this world.

[@johnrooney1033]

George Martin played the harpsichord solo, not Paul.

[@John_Chu]

@@johnrooney1033 It's a piano solo. They sped it up to mimic a harpsichord.

[@johnrooney1033]

@@John_Chu I've heard that. Then George Martin sped up the piano to make it sound like a harpsichord.

[@B.R.0101]

@@johnrooney1033 It's because George Martin admitted that he wasn't able to play the solo faster, so he played it slow to double its speed later

[@1967PONTIACGTO]

one of the songs that propels Rubber Soul into the stratosphere...also, Ringo's drumming adds so much

[@johnbumgardner7977]

The Beatles are still my favorite band ❤

[@marvinc9994]

A perfect example of a Perfect Song!

[@AlexHernandez-yb9rx]

Yes! It makes me think of Sebastian Bach. Listening to the classical music, it reminds me of his music bc there’s a lot of that instrument playing. It’s beautiful. And yes, I saw your face! It was priceless 😁glad you enjoyed it, the Beatles are just amazing! Can’t go wrong with them ❤

[@DaDavis1954]

Great reaction, Stan. Very genuine. Love your Beatles reactions.

[@direlyon]

very nice moment with this band. a genuine very good song. a lovely reaction too

[@jamesdrynan]

Rubber Soul was the album where the Beatles started exploring more mature lyrics. My favorite part of this song is the last chord. George's nail creates a small buzz on the B string playing the C#. Cool.

[@DaDavis1954]

I watched until the end. My first Beatles song I can recall is "I Want To Hold Your Hand". this was 1964. And I was nine years old.

[@barbarastrayhorn4667]

Same here. Ed Sullivan show.

[@HeidiDenoble]

Same here. I was ten and it seems like yesterday.

[@Nickel1147]

​@@HeidiDenobleLove Me Do 1962 🇬🇧❤️

[@marysweeney7370]

About Beatles songs: I Want to Hold your Hand. Strawberry Fields. I Am The Walrus, Let it Be. I listened to the Beatles long after they broke up and I had their Blue and Red albums with their hit singles These are the songs I became obsessed with when I first started listening to the Beatles.

[@sarahfullerton6894]

Stan, I have no idea which Beatles song I heard first, and no idea which Beatles song is my favorite. Three ballad-y Beatles songs I love, are, "If I Fell", (gorgeous harmonies); "Because", (even MORE gorgeous harmonies); "And I Love Her" (Beautiful, very flamenco-vibe song, with lovely guitar work from George); and "Michelle", (this time, a very French vibe, with beautiful guitar backing.) In case you were wondering, the first two are John's songs, and the two later songs are Paul's.

[@lindasalaki9404]

Such a beautiful song ❤. Great reaction Stan 👏👏👏

[@edgarsnake2857]

Loved your reaction to this Beatles classic. They really are a great band. Your enthusiasm is wonderful. Let it all out, brother. You are among friends! I heard this the day it was released and I still love hearing it. Cheers.

[@annemarinelli7303]

I’m 70 years old and I know what you mean, saw them on the Ed Sullivan show in the early 60’s and I am still a fan, love, love, love them. Wow so many, I can’t pick one, but this one you picked is definitely one of my favorites ❤️

[@charlesbunch8383]

First amazing Beatles song: Strawberry Fields Forever.

[@jerrypost9651]

Great reaction, Stan. 😊 These chaps found endless ways to blow our minds. Welcome to the camp. There are so many gems out there still to come. Have you done Paul's "Here, There and Everywhere" or George's " If I Needed Someone?"

[@timstrobel7828]

This boy. I was 4 was at my grandparents house and they let me stay up, late. They always watched Ed Sullivan and rest was history. If you really want to watch the major impact on a young fab fan. Review the Ed Sullivan show from Miami and this boy. Great review as always and enjoy being a part of the family. 😊❤

[@Kathmak]

Love your Beatles reactions. Stan❤

[@joelilley6603]

Great reaction Stan. You really should react to Nowhere Man. The harmonies of John and Paul at the very beginning before the music kicks in is just sick. I never get tired of hearing that song. I must say though it's like pulling teeth to get people to react to their HUGE first three hit songs that made everyone stop and listen and ask "who are these guys?" Please Please Me, She Loves You, and I Want To Hold Your Hand. Please check these songs out when you can sir. ☺☺👍👍

[@buckleymordecai9605]

Great reaction Sir! Ya, this is a good one. You're always fun to watch!

[@CBGB_1977]

I learned how to read by being fascinated by Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. I was 4 (1975) I was inthralled by the cover…and my mom’s name is Lucy. So technically, “Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds” so I guess you could say I’ve loved them my whole life. But the ones that I played on repeat often as time went by is: “For No One” “Girl” “All You Need Is Love “ ✌🏽❤️

[@stevenboettcher4796]

Would you believe John was only 25 yo when he wrote this? Please listen to Across the Universe. The song that got me into the Beatles was I want To Hold Your Hand.

[@rickenbacker9]

It’s really true. Beatles is magic.

[@JB-Deadskins]

I can't remember what my first Beatles song was. But their earliest song that I absolutely love is All My Loving. Savoy Truffle may be my favorite all time song of theirs.

[@AlexHernandez-yb9rx]

I obviously started to write before ending the video. What was the first Beatles song that made me feel like that? Idk 🤷🏻‍♀️ my dad was a BIG Beatles fan so I’ve been listening to The Beatles since I was a baby. That being said… there’s so many favorites that I love about the Beatles and depending on my mood, etc. Here’s a few that I’m thinking that every time I hear the song, I get goose bumps, I just feel that same feeling as if I heard it for the first time, etc- Eleanor Rigby, I should have known better, and Let it Be. I’d have to say I love Let It Be. Sometimes I cry bc it just moves me. Plus I’m Catholic and I always took it he was talking/singing about Jesus’ mother but he’s interpreting what his mother told him in a dream. ❤it’s such a beautiful song, no matter how you interpret it. ❤

[@charlyacevedo1775]

The first song i ever heard by The Beatles was She Loves You. Instant fan. I was about 5 or 6 years old. Today i'm 51 years old and i know i'm going to listen to them until the last day of my life.

[@user-pf7jm9go6o]

Our father-daughter dance song from our daughter's wedding. Probably the best song ever about the persistence of love and remembrance. And to think that John was maybe 26 or less when he wrote it.

[@albertscanlon2005]

Ahh Stan i do love your reactions Sir!. always entertaining and fun and so right. It does sound so good all round. The Beatles harmonising is so special with their all round musicality. Glad you picked up on Ringo's unusual drumming. Brilliant. Thanks

[@vivasanpietro]

She loves you is the song that caught me from the opening drum roll till the yeah yeah yeahs I believe it’s still one of englands biggest selling songs react to it live

[@brianfisher6165]

We were waiting for the “Face”🤣😂🤣😂 …and you didn’t disappoint!!!👍👌✌️😁

[@B.R.0101]

A song I'd suggest by the Beatles can be For No One

[@teddtarr]

I hope you get to hear Judy Collins' cover version of this song sometime down the road. She raises it to a completely different, ethereal way simiar to the way that the Carpenters' cover of the Beatles' "Ticket to Ride" did.

[@davidharward8908]

The first Beatles 45 that we had was Can't Buy Me Love. It got my family on the road.

[@kenhamilton1460]

Rubber Soul was my 2nd Beatle album I bought in 1966..and Still have it!!! Early Beatles was my first album I bought and paid for in 3rd grade.

[@cynergy4]

The Beatles changed music forever. My first was "All My Lovin'" from when they appeared on the Ed Sullivan show. I was 8.

[@nicoleketchum1815]

For all the new Beatles fans there is a movie called "Across the Universe." It takes place in the 60's and it is pretty much a Beatles musical. Watch it!

[@nicoleketchum1815]

"Across the Universe" is not just a Beatles musical. It deals with the draft, the Vietnam war, race riots, protests. It's a hard look at the US in the '60s.

[@charleskelly1887]

First song for me was their first release, "I want to Hold Your Hand." Then, every month a hit single, every six months a ground breaking album, and they kept that up for six years.

[@billpattersonjr.1705]

It was not one song that made me see The Beatles were amazing. A radio station in ‘76 played many hours of only The Beatles every Sunday. I was stuck at my first job listening to it. I remember that I knew the first song they played, I liked it and thought, “So that is The Beatles.” And then they played another song I knew and liked. And then another. And then another. And at some point several hours in I thought, “All these songs are Beatles?! Wow! How can that be? The Beatles Are Amazing.”

[@thomastimlin1724]

The three part harmony sections are what the Bee Gees would copy or do later, only with tons of vibrato lol. That's not to say the Beatles didn't borrow three part harmony from many sources beforehand.

[@elainealibrandi6364]

They were innovators in so many ways -- the way they played, the ways they recorded and used the technology at the time. They will always be relevant. BTW, you're thinking of a harpsichord, but it only sounds like a harpsichord. A piano was recorded with the tape running at half speed, so when played back at normal pace the piano was twice as fast and an octave higher. Thanks for this.

[@rs-ye7kw]

"And I Love Her" (1964)

[@sarahfullerton6894]

Absolutely beautiful song!

[@DawnSuttonfabfour]

This song is being played halfway through my funeral. My last song (as I face the final curtain) is Across the Universe, as that's where I'll be going. I believe every star, the squillions we have, represent a deceased person and we all end up twinkling away. Why not?

[@savett1]

I was just a kid in the 60’s but I remember Michelle and Yesterday getting my attention. I assume you’ve listened to A Day in the life.? That’ll blow your mind. Haha.

[@jornspirit]

...George Martin got already mentioned, but not, that he actually wrote that middle piece... so the composer credits should read Lennon/McCartney/Martin... love the medieval & overall old-fashion style... the short: Beatles started at that time to literally do ANYTHING, musically... more recommendations from the same time period: 'She said, she said'; 'Norwegian Wood' and 'Eleanor Rigby' 💖

[@stevedahlberg8680]

❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Andy-Capp]

Bette Midler does an outstanding cover version of this brilliant song. I recommend Norwegian Wood.

[@barbarjinx3802]

To answer you question it was Yellow Submarine. I was 3. I knew they were fire then. But Rubber Soul was their first album I bought on CD. Literally the first cd I ever bought was this album.

[@jamescanole3940]

This song has been played at countless funerals.

[@charlier711]

John called it a little piece of art. It's so melodic. I find it hard to get through with a tear. I recommend you listen to the best double A sides of a single 45 record - "Strawberry Fields Forever" and "Penny Lane".

[@Y-two-K]

Beautiful song. I recommend you check out the Dolby Atmos/Stereo remix on The Beatles Red Album that was released last year. Rubber Soul is a masterpiece with mixing/panning that doesn't live up the greatness of the album.

[@user-gu1zb6cw6t]

Love your enthusiasm Stan! Keep it coming. So many great ones but Ill throw out Day Tripper if you haven't done it yet.

[@garyporter1702]

That instrument that you are referring to, is called a harpsicord.

[@sleapycell7819]

[@starman2337]

A real harpsichord looks and plays like a piano, but while a piano hammers the strings, a harpsichord plucks them.

[@robertlear2712]

George Martin wrote out the piano part for the song. But when he went to play the part it was too hard for him to keep up with the tempo of the song so he recorded it at half speed and then they sped it up for the song.

[@HeidiDenoble]

I think you mean harpsichord.

[@markwilliams5606]

[@paulsullivan1650]

Hey Stan, first of all, great reaction (as usual). The first song by the Beatles that had me to the point of "Wow, there's nobody that can do it like these guys can!" was when I first heard, "She Loves You!"

[@marcosc11000]

Tough to decide. They have over 200 hundred masterpieces. This song seems simple but so deep at the same time. Makes think and remember my whole life, it s very touching
