Another clue to Paul being replaced........... Faul has the ability to do this thing with his voice that me and my friend like to call "The McCartney Rasp" listen to songs like Monkberry Moon Delight, and Why Don't We Do It In The Road? And you will hear Faul's very deep and gravely voice..... Paul NEVER had the vocal chops to handle such songs...... And I find it strange that we never hear Paul singing in such a fashion..........

When MI6 Faul does that snarling, gravelly sort of singing as on those songs he is imitating JPM, who did it better, as you can hear when JPM does the "Kansas City" medley on "Beatles For Sale."
Faul just doesn't have the vocal richness, resonance and control that JPM did.

Yeah I agree Beatlies, but also on ' She's A Woman'.
Overall JPM had a wider range, a deeper voice, more richness of tone, and a smooth, charming sophistication that Faul just cannot imitate.

For the record I reckon Faul seems higher because that is the only way he can correctly imitate JPM - Slightly falsetto.

For the record I reckon Faul seems higher because that is the only way he can correctly imitate JPM - Slightly falsetto. I finally realized that. William's vocal break, or passagio, may be slightly lower, his fundamental lower, Paul's main voice, chest voice, may have been clarion bright, maybe even "altoish", with a soft, thin lower register. William may be "emulating" all that to great effect. I think WIlliam is the one who knows how to sing an a thousand different ways; Paul may have had a ballad sound and a rock-in-roll sound, though I am tempted right now to consider that Paul's true voice was one voice only--a sweet, pleasant folk voice with a slight nasality. On the bridge of "I'll Follow the Sun", his part, the high melody, sounds almost like a female blueegrass or gospel singer from Appalachia, the twang and the way he bends into " I must go-oh". There's a hint of hillbilly yodel in "tomorrow may rain, So-oh-oh". It's a very sweet sound; strangely, it's like his voice was not through changing, or ---and no one be offended----a little bit like Mary Travers when her voice was young and pure. But your point----William sometimes used a lighter vocal gear to emulate Paul----I do hear that. |

Doc, all I can say is WOW. I wish I had your training, so that I could hear & identify things the way that you do  |

Paul was more a baritone, where Faul is more of a tenor.
JPM had a true rock voice, "I'm Down" "Kansas City" She's a Woman, Long Tall Sally, and there was a unique sound to his voice when he sang that way. Yet he could sing such a beautiful song like Here, There, and Everywhere, Yesterday, Michelle. He had a more dynamic voice.
Bill is more of a cabaret "Beatle" voice. If Bill would have been in the 1940's he may have attempted "crooning".
