** A TOP TEN FAVORITE **
Album: Abbey Road
Year: 1969
Written by: Lennon & McCartney
Oh! Darling is a classically great rocker from the last album recorded by the band, Abbey Road. Going back to their r&b roots, The Beatles had fun recording this song. Paul practiced his vocals in the studio every day for more than a week until he got the sound he wanted, while John enjoyed playing the old time rock & roll-style piano.
Paul's explosive lead vocal, along with John, Paul, and George's beautiful oohs and aahs in the doo-wop style backing, make for a very memorable performance. The amazing vocals and the good time retro feel of this song are only some of the reasons that Oh! Darling is one of my Top Ten Favorite Beatles songs.
