Reacting to "Oh Darling" by The Beatles!!!

Hi everybody,
We are so excited to post this video of our reaction to The Beatles' "Oh Darling"! This song is great and it was awesome to see Billy Preston in the video too!! We hope you enjoy this one and comment below what's your favorite Beatles song :)

[@Billp19733]

Long story but an important one and a story that gets overlooked a lot. The first time the Beatles came to America, they played Ed Sullivan in NY. Then they played Washington DC. Then they were going to play the south. They were told their first stop in the south was Jacksonville Florida. They were then told that the shows in the south were segregated. The actual Beatles (not their management) said we will NOT play any of these shows that are segregated. Call each of the venues and tell them we're not coming. All of these venues gave in and desegregated the shows. Because of that, other bands demanded the same thing. They had guts back then to stand up and say, we will not play to segregated audiences. First group to do that!!!!!!

That’s right because they just wanted to play to people! They didn’t see colour!

[@cjmacq-vg8um]

billy preston didn't actually play on this recording. the song was released in sept 1969 on the "abbey road" album. the footage is from the jan '69 "get back" sessions which led to the "let it be" album and film where billy appeared to play on some of the tracks. the only original music video made for the "abbey road" album is that for rheir single from that album "something." which just kinda shows them walking around individually with their respective wives. thanks for the video.

[@ClearTheRubble7]

Excellent reaction to one of my favorite Beatles songs! Subbed! Billy Preston was an old friend of theirs from their days playing in Hamburg, Germany, in the early '60's. George Harrison invited him to join them for the Let It Be sessions, and it was the spark they needed to get out of the dark state of mind they all seemed to be in. He added new life to a few of their songs, like Let It Be, Don't Let Me Down, Get Back and I Want You (She's So Heavy). Subbed!

[@dougsusie2319]

That video was odd and just something that someone through together. Those were clips from Peter Jackson's "Get Back" series that premiered on Disney+ in November and December 2021. It was an 8 hr documentary of The Beatles recording their "Let It Be" Lp in January, 1969. You can purchase the 2 CD set for around 30.00. It's a fascinating window to watch how their creative process worked and well worth a watch. The film is them recording and writing songs that culminated at the end with their live Rooftop concert on top of their Apple offices in London "Let It Be" was their last Lp released in 1970 but was like I said, recorded between Jan and early Feb 1969. The project was shelved until 1970 because the band was in disarray and there was so much music recorded. Billy Preston does appear on most of that album. He and The Beatles had a long history going back to 1960. In 60 The Beatles were playing a residency in Hamburg, Germany. This was pre Ringo who didn't join the band until 62. They had another drummer Pete Best who really wasn't that good. In 1960 John turned 20 in October, Paul turned 18 in June and little Georgie turned 17 in February. He had to get signed permission from his parents to the German government to enter the country. They were just kids. They met Preston who was only 14 and was a keyboard player in The Ray Charles Band. Think about that, he was 14 and living in a foreign country. The Beatles liked him and struck up a friendship with him. Forward to Jan, 69, The Beatles were recording "Let It Be" and there was a lot of tension in the band and it wasn't going well. In January, 69 Preston was in London and stopped by the studio to say hello. They were recording John's "Don't Let Me Down" which is a great track. They asked Billy if he would like to sit in on the electric piano. The mood brightened and the next day the band had a discussion on whether to ask Billy if he wanted to play on the album. You can watch this in the film, I think you girls would really enjoy the movie. They were laughing and saying why would we invite someone into all of this chaos but they did, Billy excepted and you can see it in the film that when he came in it instantly re energized the band. The whole mood changed in a great way. "Don't Let Me Down" didn't make it onto the "Let It Be" album but was released as the B-side on the "Get Back" single released in May, 1969. I hope this all isn't getting confusing. "Oh Darling" is from their last Lp recorded together "Abbey Road" released in September, 1969. Like I stated earlier, "Let It Be" was released in 1970 but recorded in Jan/Feb 1969 so "Abbey Road" was officially the last Beatles Lp recorded together. They pulled together one last time and boy did they go out on top as it's one of the most if not the most iconic Lp ever released. Some will argue that their 1966 Lp "Revolver" or their 1967 "Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band" Lp are the greatest ever. We're not talking greatest Beatles Lp ever but the greatest Lp ever. Pretty cozy position to be in, wouldn't you agree in as a band. Which of these three is the greatest Lp ever. That's The Beatles, that's who they were. Simply put, they were and still are the most progressive, influential and creative band in history and that's to right now. They officially split up in 1970 and right now they're still the biggest band on the planet. Vinyl LP's are a huge business again. Guess who over the last 10 years sales more vinyl every year in the US and abroad. That would be The Beatles, a band that broke up 54 years ago. By the way, take a deep dive down The Beatles rabbit hole and it's a deep one, over 200 songs and you will never be able to pick a favorite one. There's just too many great songs. Hope this was helpful for the two of you. One last thing here, Billy Preston also appeared on two tracks on "Abbey Road" George's "Something" a song that in 1970 big Frank Sinatra declared that it was the most beautiful love song written in the last 50 years. When big Frank spoke you listened. The other track is John's "I Want You (She's So Heavy). You gotta listen to that track it's killer. Anything from " Abbey Road" you want the 2019 50th anniversary remixes, they sound incredible. As a matter of fact, starting with the 1966 "Revolver" 1967 "Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band", 1968 the "White Album" 1969 "Abbey Road" and 1970 "Let It Be" have all been remixed for anniversary remixes and sound incredible. So any songs you pull up see if there's a remix of it. To complicate matters in 1974 there were two double Lp compilations released. The Beatles 1962-1966 also known as the red album and The Beatles 1967-1970 AKA The Blue Album. In September 2023 they released remixes of both album's and there's a bunch of bonus tracks on both. The Red one early tracks from 1963 to 1965 sound incredible. So even early stuff check for remixes. Check out the remix of their 1964 #1 hit "I Feel Fine" it sounds incredible. By the way, the proper way to listen to The Beatles is through headphones to really appreciate just how talented they were. They were a tight band, really great musicians. One more thing here George's "Here Comes The Sun" remix from "Abbey Road" is a must and there's a nice video with it. One of my top three Beatles songs if I have a top three, that's a tough one but that one is way up there. On "Abbey Road" George stole the spotlight from John and Paul. He had the best two tracks on the record. This one and "Something" give them a listen. Sorry for all my Beatle babble. Just trying to help. The best way to listen to this band is chronologically from 63 to 69 and don't forget "Let It Be" before "Abbey Road". Plus all of their singles and EP's from 63 to 70 chronologically. That's how to appreciate the growth in six short years and like I stated earlier headphones is the way to go. What they did in those six years is unmatched. No one before them or since them is close to what they achieved in the studio and on vinyl. That's why they're the most influential and greatest band in the history of recorded music. Take The Beatles plunge, you girls have no clue what you'd be in for. Now I'm done! Peace ❤❤

[@dougsusie2319]

Sorry girls, I really should proofread before hitting send. The "Get Back " documentary is a 2 DVD set not CD and the Red and Blue remix albums were released in November, 2023, not September 2023. Peace ❤❤

Hey you Two Little Cuties! I just discovered your channel and I'm going to scroll through and watch. I'm a Huge Bob Dylan fan and I want to recommend his song "Hurricane" based on a True story of a Black Man accused of a triple murder. As a matter of fact Denzel Washington played The Hurricane in the movie with the same name "Hurricane". However, until you actually Hear Bob Dylan sing the song, you will never appreciate the story. By the way, after years Rubin"Hurricane" Carter was set free. please react to the song and even the movie. I'm looking forward to watching more of your reactions, plus you two are Beautiful! 🥰🥰🤣🤔👍🤫❤️

I'm sick of people only playing the later Beatle stuff especially this one which is really a tip of the hat to their 50's roots. Another few are Let It Be, Imagine, and especially Hey Jude. They've all been flogged to death and weren't the songs that made them.
