I Love the Beatles

[media=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECs7TDAy9fY]

“Oh! Darling” was composed by Paul McCartney and released on the Beatles’ Abbey Road album in 1969. The song was done in the style of 1950s-60s Louisiana swamp pop and the sound was authentic enough that some in Louisiana initially thought the song was done by local performers. As a fan of that genre of music as well as the Beatles, I thoroughly enjoy this song.

John Lennon said that "he" should have sung that song and not Paul. But I can't imagine (no pun intended) anyone doing any better than Sir Paul!

@LedRobster Yes, I read that John Lennon said that, and I agree with you. Paul not only wrote the song, but he did a dynamite job as lead singer on it.

@Rutterman Paul does a great job on "I'm Down," as well. I always thought he had a better voice for those "shouter" songs than John.

Rutterman · 46-50, M

@LedRobster I'm inclined to agree with you about that.

Nice choice. Aah what an album! A guy I dated once dedicated "Something" to me many years ago.. Nostalgic.

And btw, me thinks Mr. R had a birthday! 😊

I passed this song up. Silly me!!!

Rutterman · 46-50, M

@SW-User I checked your Beatles posts first to make sure you hadn't already posted it. Lol.

@Rutterman I have to check my posts and my friends to make sure one of us hasn't already posted a song. But this one I hadn't listened to yet, glad you posted it!

@SW-User I've had to delete a few songs because I found out you had posted them.

The Beatles are awesome

Rutterman · 46-50, M

@JohnOinger Greatest rock band ever, in my opinion.

JohnOinger · 41-45, M

@Rutterman some people think The Rolling Stones are better than them but I disagree

Rutterman · 46-50, M

@JohnOinger Yes, I disagree too. The Stones are a great band, but the Beatles are in a league of their own.

This woulda been a #1 on most any other artist's album at the time. As it went down, it was probably one of the less successful tunes on 'Abbey Road.' Coming up on 50 years and I'm hard-pressed to come up with another album I've respected and appreciated so much for so long.

Rutterman · 46-50, M

@hlpflwthat Yeah, I think this is a mostly forgotten Beatles song that was overshadowed by some of the more popular tunes on the album. 'Abbey Road' is a great album, one of the best of all-time by anyone, in my opinion.
