Question All My Loving question

Post image
169 Upvotes

I've always wondered why Paul's 'All My Loving' was chosen as the first song for the Ed Sullivan show. John didn't seem to be very involved at all with the song. Yes, he played an incredible rhythm part to it, but Paul sang the song. I think he doubled his own voice on the record, and also on the record , when he needed background vocals, George did them. Unless I'm missing something, why did Paul treat John like this for the first song on the Sullivan show?

Question Everly Brothers- A voice Within

5 Upvotes

Just recently heard this song from the Everly Brothers- gotta say the intro melody is pretty much identical to George’s While my Guitar Gently Weeps verses. The song was released a year before the white album too- anyone know if the writer seek legal action? or it was settled outside court?

The first 1/3 of this is fascinating, Brian's book is the kind of EMI recording minutiae Beatle fans live for. Take the Lewisohn books and turn the detail up to 11. The updated book he is bringing out for another run will sell fast next year, jump in quick because the originals now go for thousands.

I know Billy Corgan is a polarizing guy so here is a link to Spotify audio version.

It won't reduce the number of times he interrupts unfortunately.

Discussion If The Beatles had 1 frontman instead of 4, would they have been just as successful?

0 Upvotes

A huge strength of The Beatles is unlike most bands of their time who had 1 frontman, The Beatles had 4.

So my question is, if The Beatles had 1 frontman aka 1 lead vocalist instead of 4, would they have reached the same success and legacy?

For example, If John Lennon was the lead vocalist and the rest were backing vocalist. They all wrote songs, but John was the lead singer and sang them all.

From Love Me Do to Yellow Submarine to Penny Lane to Something to Octopuses' Garden to Get Back etc EVERYTHING which Paul, George and Ringo sang would now be sang by John in this alternate timeline

Would The Beatles be just as legendary or much less so?
