Part One-Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
This fellow did not sing any 'Paul' songs on Pepper.
This fellow, Brian Hines AKA Denny Laine, did..
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and Fixing a Hole (Stating his role).
He introduced us to Billy Shears..
Billy Shears sang A Little Help From My Friends, it's stated quite clearly.
Ringo, the credited singer of ALHFMF.
Logically, one might conclude Ringo is Billy Shears.
But, did Ringo really sing that song?
Is this really Paul McCartney?
A bell in front of a ball in front of
....Why it's Billy, and it's his voice, aided by tape speed
manipulation, imitating Ringo. It's better than Ringo was
really capable of in terms of pitch control and range.
Ringo was more of a talker when he sang and therefore
easier to mimic. Bill had the real article right there to help
him.
Now, who sang lead on Getting Better, She's Leaving Home,
When I'm Sixty-Four, Lovely Rita and the middle of A Day in the Life ?
There he is, Mr. James Paul McCartney. D'oh, not the dummy..
She's Leaving Home, When I'm Sixty-Four and Lovely Rita
were all pitch altered during mastering, SLH going approx.
5% lower and WI64 and LR going approx. 5% higher.
There, the definitive list for Pepper with high res pics and everything.
Here's some interesting
Ringo lyrics..
