The man of a thousand voices singing perfectly loud...

The more I hear Ringo’s isolated drumming tracks the more I realise just how wrong the people are who claim he is no good.

[pmvoice]

Ringo's timing is remarkable. Even when someone else pushes the tempo, Ringo hauls it back in.

[PeterDiMeo]

that final "i'll never do you no harm" is earth shattering, favorite vocalist ever

[paulsullivan]

My God what an incredible voice Paul McCartney had back then! Simply amazing. In baseball, they have what is called a "Five Tool Player". They are extremely rare. Willie Mays was one. So was Mickey Mantle. A five tool player is a player that can hit for average, hit with power, field the ball, has a strong throwing arm, and is a fast, smart baserunner. Paul McCartney is a five-tool rock star. He can sing ballads beautifully, he can scream rock & roll like Elvis, he is a multi-instrumentalist, Is the greatest songwriter ever, and had the rock star good looks. The man was born to be an entertainer. Pure & simple! He is a once in a lifetime musical gift, and I'm so glad that I got to see & hear his incredible talents in my era. We should all be happy about that because look at the direction music has taken. I don't know about all of you, but in my opinion, music basically sucks these days! There will never be a talent like Paul McCartney again. There will never be another John Lennon, George Harrison or Ringo Starr. Thank God they all lived in the same seaport city of Liverpool, England. Thank God they all found each other and decided to become brothers to one another. Thank God they knew exactly how to blend each others amazing musical gifts. And finally, thank you God for giving us the Beatles!

Wow, George and John are great, but this musical miracle is all about Paul and Ringo! Ringo has the most beautiful FEEL for the music and his sticks of any drummer ever.

Cool bass line by George. I always liked this line. His line on Maxwell’s Silver Hammer is excellent also.

[operationoverloard]

The perfectionism of Paul with the Beatles put them in a league of their own.

[charllesan]

Ringo is perfect in this track. Beautiful.

[marvsayles]

This is why they were and still are the best band that has ever walked this earth

[keep_walking_on_grass]

16:51 Paul is such a incredible everything. singer, songwriter, performer, bass player. his voice is so skilled.

[raindrops_]

But Paul's piano here! It's heavy, dripping with angst and *feeling* It makes you experience something that is totally visceral and almost *too* much to bear. Superb. Not to mention the immaculate vocals that are violently ripped from Paul's soul. This is what music is supposed to be about - a perfect expression of what it is to be human and experience all the raw emotions that must accompany that phenomena.

ETA: Ringo is a f^cking machine gun on this track and this vid deserves way more views and likes!

[kirbygene]

When you break down the Beatles they STILL sound incredible. And Ringo kills it on that snare

[bassthis]

Wow Ringo's timing and feel is spectacular. He really kept this song together

[baberoot]

Paul's greatest vocal performance of all time. (And that is saying something...because this one had lots of brilliant vocals to compete against). Definitely one of his highlights.

[ML-wzek]

Wonderful Ringo drumming on the hi-hat. It's a beautiful groove. I love the dinamic of the right hand

[bernardosantos]

Can we take a moment to ponder how incredible the rhythm section is? Ringo is killing it, specially in the escalation before the C section

[trane]

One of the finest blues ever recorded! Paul and Ringo shine. John and George add those wonderfully swing-inspired harmonies. They could do no wrong!

[soniachipoloni]

McCartney`s voice is incredible!! They were all incredible!!!
