The Beatles, Got To Get You Into My Life - A Classical Musician’s First Listen and Reaction/Excerpts

[@LeeKennison]

I really enjoyed your reaction to a great song. Probably the most aggressive of Paul's diverse vocal styles that you have heard so far. Horns also feature prominently in the music of Blood, Sweat and Tears (you have heard one lesser known song of theirs) and Chicago, two bands I love and have recommended. Great commentary on all the things the individual members have brought and how well they work together and influence each other. I agree, the lyrics make a lot more sense as a love song rather than Paul's experience with weed. I loved your thoughts on the Revolver album overall and how impactful and diverse it has been. Great reaction!

[@marcelqueiroz8613]

Paul é artilheiro no meu time. Flower Power!

[@AlexandraCherepakhina]

Paul McCartney is the musical chameleon, he has many many voices, you just haven’t heard enough of his rocky side yet! As to what was recorded first: Got To Get You Into My Life was recorded on 7 and 8 of April (rhythm track) and 18 of may (vocal and brass overdubs), and I Want To Tell You only starting on 2nd of June. So, if anything, it was probably that George was influenced by Paul. Also, a lot of angularity on I Want To Tell You comes from the piano part, that is also Paul.

[@mr.knowitall6440]

Speaking of Rocky, she should listen to "Rocky Raccoon", for a different side of The Beatles. 😎

[@richardfehlmann4593]

❤ Awesome, I love this reaction 👌 No wonder you didn't think it is Paul's, Paul has such a wide variety in vocal style and composition, and here he brought a new one again. One more jewel by him! A great point to mention how John, Paul and George influenced each others, leading to Beatles "fingerprints" 👌 Every time a new Beatles song comes along, you don't know what is to come, well said. And that's why we're listening to the Beatles still after all these years 😃❤️👍🏻

My favourite track on this album, and one of my overall Beatles favourites. I have fond memories of playing this in our soul band around 1967-68. That chord resolution is just marvelous.

[@gettingkilt]

Every single piece is so different because they're developing so fast! This is one thing that made them so great. They start as a rock and roll boy band and so quickly develop into world class composers, influenced by each other and their contemporaries.

If you had heard more of George's singing you wouldn't have thought that was him. This is Paul's 'rocker' voice and it crops up here and there in various albums.

[@calichamber]

Paul McCartney has this versatility and he can sing in very different ways. My favourite Beatle (as a singer) has always been John, but I think Paul could do so many things with his voice that John couldn't. By the way, we have Paul playing in Buenos Aires this weekend! . Regards...

When the electric guitars come towards the end it is magical.

[@marascusbomm]

Yeah I agree. I think on Anthology you can hear the guitars originally ran all the way through the song (along with a keyboard), and then when they added brass the track was stripped back to give it more breathing space & in the final mix the guitars only appear at the end as a climax.

The Beatles loved Motown and the R&B sounds coming out of Memphis (STAX), and this was their stab at it. I know, really doesn't sound like Motown, or STAX, for that matter. It's still pretty great. There is a fabulous version by Earth, Wind and Fire, a huge hit, that came along later in the 70's. Paul McCartney, himself, has expressed his admiration for that version.

[@johnsilva9139]

I've always loved the range or dynamics that Paul's vocals can bring to his songs .... From Yesterday to Oh! Darling, Maybe I'm Amazed, etc Speaking of variety, the Beatles material for Amy's journey here onward is continually saying "Hold my beer". I hope by The End (depending on what sequence Vlad goes with) she'll appreciate the Beatles' journey, and why you don't have to be a fan to know their greatness.

Not being negative, but at this point (Revolver) it seems Amy may have some more trouble all the way to the end with vocal differentiation.

Motown originated in Detroit. Stax Records was in Memphis. Different styles of r & b.

Paul was/is very versatile. With the benefit of knowing Paul's solo/Wings songs it is easier to recognise his style.

[@marysweeney7370]

McCartney's raw vocals in early recordings are very well illustrated in Kansa City Hey Hey Hey. All of the boys loved R&B and Motown, especially George. As they expanded their sound, they really got the opportunity to incorporate many of the sounds they liked, including classical music. And that's what you hear in the songs on the Revolver album.

[@debjorgo]

Good point with Kansas City Hey Hey Hey. Paul's vocals on this made me go straight to I'm Down, probably the most recent example up to this point.

[@marysweeney7370]

@@debjorgo Oh yeah, that's a good one. I forgot to consider the singles to this point. I think that would be a good one for Amy to listen to for Paul vocals. And, it wasn't a cover like Kansas City. I can only think of later songs like Oh Darling and Helter Skelter. Eventually, we'll get there any Amy will have a better catalogue to consider when discussing Paul's multiple vocal styles Incidentally, I like Paul and John's vocals equally. So not dissing John here :-)

There is no filler on this album. This track is 'brassy' in more ways than one.The Beatles now have reached a peak which they would go on to sustain through several more albums. Perspicacious as usual, Amy.

[@TonyFarnam]

Paul could be smooth as silk for sure, perhaps more so than the other three. But he was also a little Richard fan and a screamer too. Check out Long Tall Sally on their second album and get a broader knowledge of his vocal styles. I might also suggest Oh Darling on the Abbey Road album, but I figure you're headed that direction and will get there eventually.

[@kokomojoe6552]

Don't know if you listened to 'I'm Down' But that touches on his voice timbre a little bit.

From 23:20 onward, Amy's comments reflect why we liked the Beatles so much and why their music endures. Having said that the last song on Revolver, "Tomorrow Never Knows" is musically and lyrically so different from anything that preceded it. I would be immensely disappointed if it was skipped.

[@victordevonshire807]

No half measures there. Look at those beautiful musical instruments. ❤

[@fractaljack210]

Wait till you hears Paul's voice on,"Oh Darling." He's not straining his voice, he's just adding some gravel and distortion. His vocal ability and control is stellar.

[@marascusbomm]

Yeah, Paul's "fried larynx" sound can be heard on some notable Beatles songs and it matured in later years. Less Little Richard & more Paul finding his "big voice" in 'Why Don't We Do It In The Road', the chorus of 'Golden Slumbers', 'Helter Skelter' of course, and the 1st take of 'I've Got A Feeling' on the rooftop. The last time he really went for it & shredded his voice like that was probably 'Call Me Back Again' from the Venus & Mars album in the mid 70's and I don't think he has really ever done it since (Probably a fit young man's game to have that much power & control). That specific voice sound was one of my favourite things about The Beatles and I miss it.

Amy should listen to Paul singing I'm Down. Even better, watch their live performance of the song at Shea Stadium! (before it's too late, since it seems that many videos of their live performances have been vanishing from YT in the last year or so, and they are getting harder to find, sadly).

[@Bassman2353]

If Paul were just a singer he would still be one of the most famous entertainers ever. I've never done a complete analysis of his range but it is at least from lower tenor (perhaps upper baritone) to mezzo soprano. The highest note he sings here is likely not even in his mid-range. Moreover, he is capable of being softly flutelike to screaming banshee, depending on the song. Add to that his astonishingly diverse songwriting and his multi-instrumentalism (a very few artists have played every instrument on any of their albums), and you have a world-historical cultural figure. Now add the extraordinary artistry of John, George and Ringo; there's a reason why they rule at the top of the popular music firmament.

[@jonathanmarkham1998]

Good comment but I’m a bit sceptical of the idea his range goes upto mezzo soprano. I’m not sure what that would even mean in practice. Regardless, he’s clearly the best ‘singer’ of the four, though many would argue Lennon had a more distinct voice.

[@Bassman2353]

@@jonathanmarkham1998 I should have bothered to look it up first, but he has sung beyond mezzo soprano. A5 is the highest note in mezzo - C6 is the highest classical note in soprano. He gets to D5 in "Maybe I'm Amazed" and "Junior's Farm" among others and G5 in "I Saw Her Standing There". He has been known to hit C6 in concert. His lowest recorded note is A1, at the bottom of the typical baritone vocal range. The man is a freak of nature, in the best way.

[@jonathanmarkham1998]

@@Bassman2353 You might be referring to the range planet. I’ve seen McCartney’s recordings they’ve got on there and I’m a bit sceptical. While that A1 in the Girl is Mine is impressive I’m not sure you can count it as a properly ‘sung’ note. If being able to just hit a note like A5 at all puts in that range, then there are many, many men who fit into it, which I doubt. I reckon if you’re going to use classical categories like soprano and baritone, you have to judge it by those standards. I’m being a bit pedantic anyway, McCartney has an amazing voice and while he’s obviously received more than enough plaudits for his songwriting, I think he’s incredibly underrated as a singer.

Otherwise, at the end, you have to travel with the Past Masters or the Red & Blue albums back into the future. It makes no sense. 👏👍

[@strathman7501]

Re the brass parts... This was a later idea by McCartney, added in a session on May 18 1966. Tenor saxophonist Peter Coe: "The Beatles wanted a definite jazz feel. Paul and George Martin were in charge. There was nothing written down but Paul sat at the piano and showed us what he wanted and we played with the rhythm track in our headphones. I remember that we tried it a few times to get the feel right and then John Lennon, who was in the control room, suddenly rushed out, stuck his thumb aloft and shouted ‘Got it!’"

[@mikepaulus4766]

Try this to guess the Beatles. If it’s a cutting nasal vocal soundi it’s usually John, unless it sounds Indian, then it’s George, or if it sounds kinda like Lennon, but not quite, it might be George. If it sounds like the singer has a bit of a stuffy nose, it’s Paul. If you don’t recognize the singer and it sounds like a children’s song, it’s Ringo.

[@EddieReischl]

I think Paul starts to fully realize his potential on this album. He is very good at injecting joy into music. This song also makes me wonder if the Beatles had really discovered effective use of chromaticism around this time. It's in the bridge of this song, going down, with "Ooo...then I suddenly see you..." being Bm, Bm#7, Bm7, Bm6 if we're in the key of G. This is very similar to "And Your Bird Can Sing", although the changes are faster here. "Eleanor Rigby" also has chromatic movement down in the cello part after the second verse in the slower "All the lonely people" part before the chorus. Can't wait for next week.

[@dennismason3740]

I'm 71, Imma self-taught in many skills, including singing. To characterize a good r'n'r' howl as "strained" reflects a lack of knowledge of r'n'b and r'n'r' and blues. Yell, scream or wail would be more appropriate. Rock and roll started in America in the 1930s and was characterized by danceability and a wicked downbeat on a 4/4 signature. R'n'roll was popularized as a genre in the 1950s. R'n'r' is aggressive dance music. The vocals are often raw and, in the best scenario, honest. Listen to Mister Moonlight, a Lennon wail on a Latin beat. To strain a voice over time will wreck the vocal chords. Some singers sing in a raw style without strain - it is a skill to sing r'n'r' without strain by maintaining proper technique. It always starts with the diaphragm, the center of power in singing. Though Lennon did strain a lot in the Beatles he undertook a method called Primal Screaming and he learned to sing honest and raw without tearing his throat.

Given that the ‘album’ started to become a complete artistic expression over the single, partially because of The Beatles and their evolution from A Hard Days Night through Sgt Pepper - it would be really wonderful to hear you listen to and react to the entire album at the end of each one (or perhaps at the end of this series) as a sort of summary before jumping into the next. These albums are journeys and universes unto themselves and I think there is value in hearing them and the track progression as one thing.

😎 95% of the time, whoever is singing the lead vocal is also the tune's primary songwriter, the exceptions being all the songs that Lennon & McCartney composed specifically for Ringo to sing, and the two that they composed specifically for George to sing ("Do You Want To Know A Secret" and "I'm Happy Just To Dance With You"). 🥸 I've said it before and I'll say it again.

[@BigSky1]

[@Uetti]

Got To Get You Into My Life was recorded before I Want To Tell You, so definitely Paul wasn't challenging George. Also, you've heard Paul's strained voice at least on I'm Looking Through You (A song with which this one has many similarities) or in earlier songs like I Saw Her Standing There or Can't But Me Love. Unfortunately, many of Paul's rockiest numbers so far (Such as I'm Down, for instance) weren't selected by Vlad for you, because otherwise you should have known by now what a screamer McCartney really is.

Paul or is it Faul(another clue that it would have been pretty hard to replace him)has a vocal range of A1-E6. I just tested part of this song and it looks like approximately A4 he's hitting on the vocal rise. I know first hand he has a ridiculous range. Once I was outside singing his song Wanderlust and tried to hit that high note he hits at the end. Now I don't know music theory but the app I just used said it was between a C5-D5, right on the line. I fell out of my chair(stool)onto the grass with a sharp pain in my kidneys. The next morning I thought I was dying the pain was so bad. I went to the hospital. They had no answers, said the body is a mysterious thing, I almost gave her the Moe Howard treatment. The answer is clear, I tried to sing a Paul note. He does some other ridiculous sings(instead of things)including ultra low. Thing is while I'm sure that in the past few decades he's gone to vocal coaches to deal with age and the toll of touring, bad THEN he appears to be all self taught. Literally singing at the piano with his family. With the way he talked back then and thought...he's just a natural. People much more schooled can explain all elements of his range and the techniques employed. He is the quintessential rock belter.

It's a great song, think it inspired several groups (e.g. Chicago) to put horns in their rock bands. I must've heard it 100 times before I knew it was about pot, I always assumed it was about falling in love with a woman which of course is the brilliant double entendre of the lyrics and music...if it was too direct it would've been censored to death in its day but it wasn't. I see you're not releasing the Revolver tracks in album order but I do hope you get to them all! As for Paul's voice, he really does belt it out sometimes, from as early as track 1 album 1 "I Saw Her Standing There"!
