rich-joy Beatles Remastered (68* d) RE: Beatles Remastered 09 Oct 09


A footnote to my rave, above :

IMHO, another thing that makes their "sound" and legacy great, is that they had 4 singers who could, and did, take leads. (OK, Ringo only had about one song per album, but nevertheless ...)

Most groups have only 1 lead singer, maybe 2 ... therein can lie "sameness" and the possibility of becoming boring (especially after you listen to a whole LP/CD!!)

With all the groups I have been involved in, we always prided ourselves on having all members who could sing leads (and often, also most harmonies!) : more interesting for both us and the listener!

The Beatles easily achieved all that, and, they were all songwriters too.

--end of rave--

Cheers,
R-J
