"She's Leaving Home" will break your heart.
Or, be glad that she's finally on her own. Okay, heartbreaking for the parents, definitely.
Beautiful, yet sad, story telling.
Yeah, as parents of young girls… dang. Must be a whole new level of emotion on that.
Also Eleanor Rigby.
I like a LOT of Beatles songs but I absolutely love "She's Leaving Home". So well composed and performed and, as you stated, will break your heart. It's amazing how sometimes the best of intentions can do so much harm. "Mother" by Pink Floyd is in a similar vein.
My vote is to go in order. This is a concept album that works very well as a single piece.
I agree. I always listen to this album in its entirety. I honesty expect the next song to start playing; my brain started playing Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds as this song finished.
A good approach for all concept albums.
@@kimjaceolsonMy brain does that with albums as well. I'm anticipating hearing the next song. (Then I'm disappointed, and go find it to listen to anyway.)
Back then albums were made to be listened to from track 1 side 1 to side 2 end track, thanks for making this point.
Might be tough with copyright
Ringo has said recently that the reason that they have so many songs is thanks to Paul McCartney being such a work horse !!
Funny story: The Beatles were accustomed to working into the wee hours in the second half of their career and this recording session was no exception. They were putting the finishing touches on this song and all that was left were the vocal tracks, but Ringo was not interested. As he started to head up the stairs, he told his mates that he was way too tired and was going home. The rest of the group protested loudly and eventually convinced him to come back to sing his lines. Ringo was always insecure about his singing voice and felt uncertain if he could reach that final note. They all circled around him, gave him moral support and encouraged him to give it a try. Lennon, who was never one for using precise, technical terms, finally told him, 'Just throw your head back and let her rip'. That's exactly what Ringo did.
"A Day In The Life" is the artistic pinnacle of this album. And it's a great listening experience
They reacted to that one a while ago, they just don't remember it by name probably. EDIT: And I just checked. It was about a year ago and is still on their channel.
They've done it.
There's an amazing video of Chris Cornell doing that song just him and an acoustic guitar its on CZcams it's amazing
But don’t pause it!
The ending prolonged note in this song is played by the London Symphony Orchestra.
The thing about the Sgt. Pepper album is that it’s a concept album, intended to be listened to as a whole from start to finish, in order. Tracks blend into each other in some cases, such as this, which is preceded by the title track and is meant to evoke the feeling of a concert performance.
Lennon would disagree. Here is a 30 second snippet of him saying it wasn't a concept album. czcams.com/video/oUUPowy9xho/video.html
The problem is, the album intended to be listened to all at once hasn't something printed on it to that effect. Today's junk culture has separated all music into bite-sized portions, even the medleys.
There is already a problem with listening to a song for the first time as a video reaction-- do you really care so poorly about music that you won't try to listen to it right away, even putting it off for months or years, and instead try to make money off of it?
I got to listen to the whole album the first time in the late 1970s, all at once, and because it was that early in my life I then got to listen to it a hundred times since then. Any other way to do it is inconceivable.
You're thinking of "Tommy."
It's an album where the artists have an opinion on how you listen to it, a fucking preposterous idea
@@BaccarWozatoh no, no one is telling you how you should listen, now you have to work it out for yourself 😁
When this album came out in 1967, it was massive and groundbreaking. This was so different from anything ever released up to that point. This is the album that turned pop music into "art." I was so lucky to be alive during those times, even though I was a child. I remember when the Beatles ruled the world so well.
I too just was 12yrsold but I understood that crystal magic.. and I knew the great Beatles at this time were iluminous on the planet...and ruled🪲🪲🪲🪲🙏🕊
I too at 12 yrs., old felt this immence power of the greatest and most creative..color band who were heart felt' through population of all countries in 1967 was like a fantascy year for the beautiful Beatles they ruled the music scene ..and on live TV around the world by satilite! Watched by 73M.
People can now see it in documentary films but to actionally be alive at this time and feel the vibe of The Beatles they were from another space and time...Magical 🎉🎉So you had be alive at this time they were unbelievable !🪲🪲🪲🪲🙏🕊🍏💜
you wish that was true.
czcams.com/video/vbHMgqHtAy0/video.html
Umm… okay, but there was a thing called “ Pet Sounds” both masterpieces
@@raugado czcams.com/video/vbHMgqHtAy0/video.html
These three…..Lovely Rita……A Day In The Life and Good Morning.
A little context for you: Sgt. Pepper's is a concept album in which the Beatles play a band called Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. They did this to mentally and creatively free themselves up from having to write like the Beatles. The songs go loosely together, not really as a story but more like a full show being played by this fictional band. In the first song on the album, the band introduces themselves and it's meant to be the start of the show. Then, at the end of that song, they introduce a new character, "Billy Shears," who sings "With A Little Help From My Friends." You heard the end of his introduction at the beginning of this track (the band singing "Bill... lly.... Sheeeeaaaars!" which you probably didn't catch since you didn't know) because the two tracks connect to each other. Anyway, Ringo plays "Billy Shears" and that's him singing this song.
You're not really getting the "weird" from this song because, although Sgt. Pepper's is during their psychedelic period, this album is a collection of songs of various styles. There are some trippy, psychedelic ones (John's "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" and George's "Within You, Without You," e.g.) as well as some sad storytelling songs ("She's Leaving Home"), some straight but character-driven pop/rock ("Lovely Rita"), stuff that sounds like it could be about a Victorian circus ("Being For The Benefit of Mr. Kite"), and even a sweet, very traditional sounding song that John has described as "Paul's granny s**t" ("When I'm 64"). It's not all "I Am The Walrus" here. Instead, it was a huge band playing characters to write songs in a bunch of different genres and loosely connecting them with a framing device/concept. It was them experimenting with form and pushing the envelope of what was expected of pop bands who are meant to be selling love songs to teenagers.
This is something you'll find more of on The White Album as well. Lots of different genres, springing from the Beatles starting to fracture into their own directions and interests but still putting all their disparate new songs under one banner for the time being. And, tbh, that's part of what makes those albums so great.
Very well explained. I thank you especially because now I don't have to...
"When I'm 64" is a must hear!
I had this album as a pre-teen in 1969. My mother than 41. She absolutely loved this song.
@@Mister_Samsonite I am a retired ballroom dance teacher, and on my 64th birthday I got to dance with all my students to this song. It’s not a very long song so we had to play it several times through, but it was great fun. 😁
Absolutely great fun song
Paul wrote “When I’m 64 when he was 16 years old…
Joe Cocker DID cover this Song. A Little Help From My Friends
"Within You Without You" is the most trippy song on the album!
I concur...go in order!
Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds
They need to listen to Lucy!
L S D
@@Mando-hereafter Not LSD, research and fact is mind boggling.
This album can be listened to out of order but when/if you get to Abbey Road, please do You Never Give Me Your Money to the last song.
People try to claim it's not about LSD, BS it is about LSD what they fail to recognize is how anti drug people were back then, the Beetles had to deny it for PR.
"A Day In The Life" is considered the Masterpiece from this album and many people call it the best song of all time. "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" is another you'd like. They sound less trippy, but "She's Leaving Home" is a great song from this album and "When I'm 64" has a nostalgic sound.
I remember hearing it on the radio in my parents ' kitchen for the first time in 1967. I had just turned 14. It had such a profound effect on me. The effect lasted for weeks after whenever I heard it.
They did "A Day In The Life" about a year ago (I just checked and their reaction to it is still up). They probably just don't remember it by name. I'd say that I agree with the rest of your choices but, really, that's kind of redundant with the Beatles. These are ALL good tracks and don't need me co-signing.
'hardly anybody calls it the best song of all time' would be more accurate.
Lovely Ringo sings for a change 😊
@@sg-yq8pm A composite of critics polls from both USA and Europe has it as the #3 all time (after "Like a Rolling Stone" and "Smells Like Teen Spirit") so it would be next to impossible to do so without being at the top of at least some lists.
The Beatles made all their music when they were in their 20’s! It’s amazing!
She’s leaving home is a masterpiece
“Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite” is the signature piece in my opinion 🙏🏽
So many great songs, but "Being For The Benefit of Mr. Kite" would blow Rob Squad's minds, if they listen deeply to what The Beatles and George Martin achieved on this song, in a low tech studio. INCREDIBLE. ....and a super catchy melody from John, who doesn't get credit enough for writing great melodies compared to Paul.
A very necessary ‘change-up pitch’ on the album
Based on an actual Victorian carnival poster that John had seen. Actually saw a framed copy of this poster a few months back. The poster is viewable on-line if you Google it.
Joe Cocker did his version soon after this was released (which was a major gutsy thing to do at the time). Paul loved it and told him so.
What a great version, so different from the original it's its own entity, same melody different moods. Aren't we lucky to have both.
Yep, they reacted to that 3 years ago. The first time I heard this song was when it was covered by Wet Wet Wet in 1988 and it got to No. 1 in the UK
90s kids know it from The Wonder Years.
John Belusi did it best.
Better than the fab four's
"A day in the life " is the last song. One of their best songs ever and a true artistic collaboration between John and Paul.
Fun fact: Strawberry Fields Forever and Penny Lane were originally intended to be on the Sgt Pepper album, but the decision was made to release them as double A side singles months before Sgt Pepper was released
Yes, and it was EMI's decision, not theirs. George Martin said in interviews that not fighting EMI on that was the biggest mistake of his career. I agree. If they had been included, I think it would have meant Mr. Kite and Good Morning, Good Morning would have been left off, or saved for B sides. I think John said both those songs were garbage anyway.
Fun Fact: That fact wasnt fun at all!
@@darren6202Fun Fact. Your not fun in social situations
@@SeanONeill-ef5vb oooh 'ark at her!
BTW, its You're
She's Leaving Home. You would both like it.
that one will bring a tear to their eye.
And they would probably both shed a tear or two.
Makes me howl. One daughter, still with me but soon she will fly away and I will play it on that day and cry til my eyes are sore and swollen shut.
Such a heartbreaking song.
@@DawnSuttonfabfourMy 16 year old daughter is ironically leaving home tomorrow morning to go to England for a month. I’m heartbroken!!! She’ll have the best time, but her leaving home still makes me so sad.
The Beatles' *Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band* album spent 15 consecutive weeks at number one on the Billboard 200 in the United States in 1967. It also spent 27 weeks at the top of the U.K. albums chart. The album remained in the Top 200 for 175 weeks, which is more than three years.
current record is Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd at 990 weeks
Beat this one. Apostrophe the album by Frank Zappa peaked first week in at no 10, NEVER! had a song lifted off the album and played on the radio.
Sgt. Pepper and With A Little Help From My Friends is a medley. They are supposed to be played together. The first song runs into the second.
John, Paul, and George were in bands together for about (roughly) 11 years (Ringo joined about 4 years in). Their recording career lasted (roughly) 7 years.
"Strawberry Fields" was recorded during the St. Pepper sessions, but The Beatles didn't put singles on their albums at this time. "I am the Walrus" was recorded within a year of this song. St. Pepper and the tracks on Magical Mystery were all recorded in the same "frame of mind" (if you will) and released in the same year.
Fixing A Hole is my favorite on this album! Whats crazy is you two are still barely scratching the surface!
One of Paul's best. Realy clever lyrics.
@@John_Locke_108 its so underrated too! every word means something and the production was marvelous! vintage paul classic!
"Fixing a Hole" is one of their most underrated songs.
One of my favorite Beatle songs for sure! 👏
Guys you’ve missed at least 4 masterpieces:
1. The long and winding road by Paul
2. Here there and everywhere by Paul
3. Nowhere man by John
4. Octopus garden by Rino
Absolutely great great songs
I love all the Beatles songs but The Long and Winding Road touches me right to my soul ❤
@@andreaschmall5560 I don't think anyone was saying they were. I believe he meant masterpieces in general.
Didn't George Harrison do Long and Winding Road..?
Agreed with the first 3, but in no world is Octopus’s Garden a “masterpiece”.
@@midnightrambler7716the genius of Ringo Star..
2:50 "Must have been during the Beatles LCD trip time." Yes, in that era, they were using liquid crystal diodes, in their computer screens, calculators, and digital watches.
Wow, they were WAY ahead of their time!
"During the Beatles LCD trip..." 😂😂😂
I caught that too🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ldownloads now
ahead of their time lol
This was not long before Light-Emitting-Diode Zeppelin were formed.
@@Jimsguitarmusic 😂
No doubt, one of Ringo's best vocals on a Beatles album! Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds by the Beatles, next please!
She's Leaving Home" is based on an actual event Paul read about in the paper. The girl remained estranged from her parents the rest of their lives.
And weirdly, as I just recently saw explained elsewhere, Paul had actually met that girl on a TV show years before, without realizing it. It's a bizarre coincidence.
3 songs a day for about 3 years and you haven't touched the most iconic album in rock history??? I'm speechless...
They did do A Day in the Life about a year or so ago.
This song made me question absolute power. For my eighth grade graduation, the nuns gave us a vote to sing this song or James Taylor's "You got a friend." The class overwhelming voted for this song. But the nuns were surprised that this won. There was no way they would let us sing, "I get high with a little help from my friends" to our our parents.
You'll be blown away with A Day In the Life. But listen to the whole album in one sitting.
They actually did it about a year ago
czcams.com/video/sJUjCL5y-bc/video.htmlsi=gHBmABTiOOt7z1_u
This was written by Paul, with a little help from John. They wanted to write something for Ringo to sing lead on. Thanks for the great reaction. L👏👏🥰
This remaster really makes Paul's bass pop. Cool.
None of the songs is completely out of left field in the way that "Tomorrow Never Knows" or "Helter Skelter" or "Revolution #9" was or would be. But they were all genre-pushing and were within a tighter framework than "Magical Mystery Tour" (which came after this) would be. In 1969, this wouldn't have been considered such a breakthrough…but in 1967, it was pretty darn revolutionary.
No reason not to start at the beginning, with "Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band", but all of these are good. And if you can get over your Fear of Concept Albums, you can *finally* tackle "Tommy" and "Quadrophrenia" by The Who, which would be great
SGT PEPPER'S IS CONSIDERED THE BIG BANG OF MODERN MUSIC. EVERY SONG IS A CLASSIC-LUCY IN THE SKY WITH DIAMONDS, FIXING A HOLE, GETTING BETTER, LOVELY RITA, GOOD MORNING, BENEFIT OF MR. KITE, SHE'S LEAVING HOME, WHEN I'M 64, WITHIN WITHOUT YOU, AND DAY IN THE LIFE. IT BROKE THE MOLD!
Modern music began with the opening notes of Wagner's "Tristan und Isolde" a century earlier.
I was 15 years old when Sgt. Pepper's came out, and I was already a rabid Beatles fan. I have been fortunate enough to hear Ringo perform this song in concert, twice, with his All Starr Band. Ringo always closes the concert with this song, and the whole audience sings along on the chorus. And yes, I cried, and I wasn't the only one in the audience. The Beatles had been an important part of my life since I saw them live on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1964.
I saw The Beatles 3 times (couldn't hear them for the screams) and saw Paul solo in 2010. A great show. The moment he came on stage my friend burst into tears, LOL! People were singing along to all the songs, grandparents my age, their kids and their grandkids! That is what you call staying power. BTW, the price for my tickets in '64, '65 and '66....$5.50 for box seats!
With RINGO singing lead! ✌🏽♥️💪🏽😎
He does a great job!
This is definitely has the feel of a story album, and there is some fantastic track sequencing on it like most of these later albums. You got to hear these songs in order, especially the opening song of the album after this.
“Let It Be” is their best album IMO. Every song on that album knocks it out of the park.
"She's Leaving Home."
My dad was a HUGE Beatles fan, so I grew up driving around in his car listening to some of the best music that you could possibly imagine. Even though my dad passed well over 10 years at this point, the legacy of those drives lives on, as one of my son's favorite songs to listen to while driving with me is "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds". While he never got a chance to meet my dad, I always smile when I hear him singing or humming these great tunes, as I know if not for my dad, we both might not listen to the great songs that we both do(thanks dad, you are forever missed, thanks for the memories and the musical diversity).
That's a hell of a backup band Ringo has there :)
......AND, most notably, this is the very FIRST album to print out the lyrics to rhe songs.
The Beatles evolved, so you have to listen to them chronologically to appreciate their influence.
Absolutely!
evolved but rubber soul and revolver and help were way better
Or having growing up with their music. Being a Londoner was used to seeing them around, going to school around the corner from their Apple shop and my dad coming home with John Lennons autograph to me and he even spelt my name correctly and this was the early 60s! Swinging 60s in London and we had the best music.
This album is immense. More than one classic on it. Including the immortal "A Day in the Life."
“(Chorus) What do you see when you turn out the lights? Ringo: “I can’t tell you but I know it’s mine”. The Beatles always loved to have fun and insert this stuff in their lyrics.
Definitely listen to this album in order.
Amazing concept album by The Beatles! You actually already reacted to A day in the life. You need to hear the entire album start to finish. Nowhere man, When I’m 64, Lovely Rita, She’s leaving home.
Nowhere Man is on Rubber Soul
You are correct. Brain cramp…
Do the album in order. Actually, in one sitting would be ideal!
Within You Without You is one of the most beautifully written songs ever
She' s leaving home!
Jimmy Page played guitar on Joe Cocker's version. Now that's having help from your friends.
They listened to a live Joe Cocker version a while back.
Ringo didn't think he could hit that note at the end, but with a little coaxing from the other three, he did it. Yes, Amber, there is a lot going on in that album cover. Loaded with 'Paul is dead' references.
Bill is a better musician, but Paul was a better lyricist. And the real Paul never would have mistreated George.
😂@@BlackHatCinephile
Right, a pile of 💩. The real Paul is still alive and kicking.
LUCY IN THE SKY WITH DIAMONDS!!!
A Day in The Life is AMAZING! She's Leaving Home is amazingly beautiful❤
So, what makes the Sgt. Pepper album so unique is that it truly is the most popular "concept album" of all time, and was designed to be listened to as a whole, from beginning to end, like the album itself told a story. They would play with that idea with some later albums, like Abbey Road. Bands like Pink Floyd, would later refine this technique.
AND the chief idea of the album is that it ISN'T the Beatles, but Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band that you are listening to. They were acting as another band performing a concert and telling a story.
This album was one of the most innovative and inventive works in the history of music, and a big reason why The Beatles are looked so highly upon. When it was released, the entire culture knew it was something significant.
I think you guys have previously reacted to the final track of this album, "A Day in the Life".
It is far from being the first "concept album", it's not even close to being the first of the rock era.
And they made this album into a movie in a Monte python cartoon style. Check it out on your movie reaction channel. Do this album in order. Too many great songs on this album to have a fav
czcams.com/video/vbHMgqHtAy0/video.html
Knowing that Amber likes the trippy side of the Beatles, I'll suggest "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" from Sgt Pepper's for a future reaction. It's John Lennon going full-on psychedelic. And never mind the initials of the song. Lennon claims that's just a coincidence (and we definitely all believe him, lol). He said he got the trippy imagery for the song from a drawing that his young son, Julian, did about a girl named Lucy from his school, and definitely NOT from doing any illicit substances.
BTW, you've definitely reacted to at least one track from Sgt. Pepper's: You did "A Day In The Life" about a year ago.
Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds!
The Beatles actually existed for 16 years. They were world famous for 8. By the time they stopped touring in 1966, they had been on the road for 10 years.
John and Paul first met July 6, 1957 when John was in the Quarrymen. Paul later brought George in, and Ringo joined them much later.
My personal favorite is “Getting Better”…a positive and uplifting song with a wonderful beat and riff !
"I used to be cruel to my woman
I beat her and kept her apart from the things that she loved
Man I was mean but I'm changing my scene
And I'm doing the best that I can"
The first two songs are meant to be heard together. "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band/ With a Little Help From My Friends."
Not one track from this game changing album was released as a single. That's the level of genius and sheer output that marked the Beatles.
That's what Strawberry Fields Forever and Penny Lane were. They were recorded for the album but then were released as a single instead. They did that in the early days, too. Felt it was ripping off fans if the singles were included on an album
Their recording years were from 1962-1969, a stellar seven year career that began and ended with a BANG! The hallmark of this album is A Day In A Life, arguably their most ambitious recording.
My son, a Beatles fanatic, went to Ringo's concert last summer. This song was the encore - crowd loved it and it was a special moment.
According to Ringo (who sang the song) the line was supposed to be: "what would you do if I sang out of tune, would you throw a tomato at me". He said: "I'm NOT singing that!!!"
Animaniacs referenced that in the "Woodstock Slappy" segment by showing Joe Cocker singing exactly that and then being hit with a tomato.
😂
A Day In The Life is the best song the Beatles ever made.
"She's Leaving Home" is my favorite the harmonies are perfect
Yes Joe covered this and Paul thanked him for turning it into a "ROCK ANTHYM "
John thanked him as well…
Joe's version was better
@@donjohn2695 Thats your opinion, I prefer the Beatles version.
Yes, listen to it in album order please... it's a journey.
Nobody will mention this one from this album, "Within You, Without You" a George Harrison psychedelic song with Sitar.
The arrangement of WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS that elevated Joe Cocker's cover, was created by Jimmy Page.
Ringo sang the original pop tune in 4/4 time, but Page turned it into a 6/8 blues/rock waltz, and the band swung it hard.
Jimmy Page also played some fantastic guitar on the album version.
Highly recommended.
Day in the life is also from this album
Yeah, I had to double-check if I was remembering correctly that they'd already reacted to it. And they did, about a year ago. I guess they just don't remember it by name.
"Getting Better" is my favorite.
The entire album is a masterpiece but "She's Leaving Home" is simply a beautiful song.
Yes, Joe Cocker covered this one. JC also covered The Letter, which was originally by the Box Tops. Joe covers songs well and always makes them his own.
"She's leaving Home" is a great tune
Day in the Life is a must!!! Cheers....
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band/With A Little Help From My Friends has to review together because the story is linked to Billy Shears, With A Little Help From My Friends
Amber! I LOVE your idea about going through the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band from the beginning, song-by-song!! Yes! That would be truly epic and an unforgettable experience. No one listens to albums in their entirety anymore, which is a real shame This was the first "concept" album ever and is considered to be the greatest album of all time by almost every music critic for the past nearly 60 years. It sounds and feels like a live concert, so that is what it makes cool about listening to the songs in order.
"A Day in the Life" which you reacted to is also on this legendary landmark album, which also has some very trippy stuff on it! Fun fact - Both "Strawberry Fields Forever" and "Penny Lane" were the first two songs recorded for Sgt. Pepper, but they were left off of the album because the record company wanted them released as singles instead.
Back then, singles were often not included on the albums. But seriously, can you imagine if "Strawberry Fields" and "Penny Lane" had made it on to the Sgt. Pepper album? It's already the greatest album without both of those songs, but oh man, with those two songs included, Sgt. Pepper would have been at even higher (no pun intended) level of being the greatest! Mind-blowing to think about!
The cool thing is that both of those songs ended up on the super psychedelic "Magical Mystery Tour" album, which you should also check out in order. Amber will love both Sgt. Pepper and Magical Mystery Tour as they represent the Beatles at their most trippy and psychedelic period in the "Summer of Love" in 1967.
This album was conceived by Paul as a concept album. In February 1967, McCartney suggested that the new album should represent a performance by the fictional band, but other than the opening title song and reprise it was just a bunch of songs without any interconnection or theme.
Thank you! It never struck me as a continuous concept. It's an overblown "concept" of the album. But I still like it...a lot.
"Theme" would be a stretch, though there is a whimsical tone throughout (until the last song).
@@brovold72 I said there is no theme.
Jay and Amber, to do the album justice, you really must treat yourself to a complete sit-through from beginning to end. It’ll blow you away in its totality! As for Ringo and upbeat, please do yourselves a favor: listen to his 1974 top 5 song Oh My My, complete with horns and a funky vibe right from the first piano chord. You will love it!
PS Oh My My features Billy Preston on keyboards and organ and includes backing vocals by Merry Clayton and Martha Reeves.
PPS I finally caught Ringo in concert in 2022 and was blown away by how limber and energetic he still is!
One final point (sorry!!!), but my favorite songs from Sgt Pepper are the title track and Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds. Once you listen to the Beatles version you just check out Elton John’s number one cover from 1974 that include guest vocals and guitar by John Lennon
Dear Jay & Amber,
You can never go wrong with going with the Beatles! One of the greatest groups in the 60s I grew up listening to their music and watching their movies they made.🇬🇧💯👍
I refuse to believe anyone could go their whole lives without hearing this song
From the start, it was a rule that George and Ringo had to each sing a song on every Beatles album. John and/or Paul made sure Ringo had something that featured his vocals. They wrote this one for him. While SPLHCB was enormously impactful at the time, it's maybe the most of its time of the Beatles records. It's never it's never been in my top position. My favorite from the album would be the closing piece, _A Day in the Life,_ which I find the most timeless of the song list.
Was it a rule? I always thought it was unique and generous to have Ringo sing a song on each album. What other group had their drummer sing on each album? And also George got to sing as well. But I don't think they were contractually obligated to have each member sing at least one song on each album. I think George complained that more of his songs weren't put on albums. Makes me wonder who had final say on what got put on an album (or a single). I would think George Martin as producer would have some say on that, but I just don't know.
@@johnsilva9139 not a contract, but every album George normally had 2 songs and Ringo had 1 song for their fans.
@@johnsilva9139 Within the band, yeah, but it wasn't a contractual thing. It was something decided among the band early on. George wasn't big on taking the lead vocal on early Beatles albums; Lennon pushed him to do it. It wasn't long before he found his footing. They'd pick or write a song for Ringo. When Ringo wrote Octopus's Garden they put it on Abbey Road.
Yep, Joe Cocker covered this and did a great job of it too! Check out "Lucy In the Sky with Diamonds" from that album.
...St. Pepper is possibly the most significant album of them, as it established the change in music towards more and deeper story telling, and so many subtle effects & instruments involved... there's so many suggestions possible, I just pick one: 'Being for the Benefit of Mr Kite' - bizarre and absolutely genius!! Fun fact to this one: Ringo first insisted on that he can't sing that long high note at the end, and it needed a lot of encouragement by the others until he did try... and succeeded... PS. Joe Cocker's song is indeed this one, but he made it his own version, clearly! 🌈
Ringo on lead vocals. Ringo had some great solo efforts as well. Off of this album check out - "A Day in The Life" is an amazing song on this album. Psychedelic era of music, drug induced writing and pushing their sound into a completely new direction. They wrote this album to challenge themselves after listening to the Beach Boys, PET SOUNDS album, which had also taken their style & sound to a different level. Both bands were friends but did have a rivalry and it helped to raise their level and challenge themselves to be even more creative.
In high school, I'd put on my headphones almost every night and listen to the whole album before I fell asleep. ❤
Let it Be is a timeless classic, from their last album. Definitely must listen.
When im 64 is a must listen. Probably my favorite Beatles song but its hard to choose!
The thing is, and it's too late for you, the Beatles are best watched in chronological order. That takes you on their journey. Watching and hearing the maturation is part of the joy.
My favorite from this album is easily A Day In The Life, but most of the album is amazing.
Their most underrated song is called And Your Bird Can Sing. You really should give it a listen.
Or Every Little Thing
For No One and The Abbey Road Medley
none of these suggestions are on Sgt Pepper
@@TheBobherriot we know
And Your Bird Can Sing is Freebird's daddy. Compare them. The slide and the subject matter.
Not hard to get by with a little help with your friends when your friends are John, Paul, and George 🎸
Joe Cocker was a huge Beatles fan (and firend). His first single way back in 1964 at age 20 was a cover of The Beatles country-flavored "I'll Cry Instead," which went nowhere. His first hit was his cover of "With a Little Help from My Friends" in 1968. It went to #1 in the UK and it was also memorably sung at Woodstock in 1969. He followed up with covers of The Beatles' "Something" and "She Came in Through the Bathroom Window" in 1969.
This is a Concept Album, it's a Carnival and each song is a Tent along the Promenade. we hope you will enjoy the show
And yes, Joe Cocker did cover this song. He sang it at Woodstock I believe.
Yes and they've reacted to it
Give The People What They Want". Ok, so how can I wish something and hear it ? I'm sure yo will LOVE this album complete and EVERY song has it own story! When you AMBER ask for a favourite song it's imposible to answer ! it's the same if someone would ask me which of my kids I love the most ! It's impossible to answer, but: You have already played one song before from this album, namely "A Day In The Life", but if I have to suggest 1 song it will be "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" and that song has a very special story connected to John's first son Julian.Many people do not know the background to many of the Beatles' songs and for example "She's Leaving Home" is very special and Paul, who wrote it, did not know that he had actually met the girl he was writing about, this on one occasion when he appeared on TV, there on youtube, where he presented an award to this girl, who later appeared in a newspaper article where a girl was "disappeared without a trace".
Well, I suggest "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds".
There is not a bad track on the Sgt Pepper's album, there is no way you can go wrong with any of them. Can't wait to hear you guys react to any of them!!
