5 Beatles Songs That Feature Vocalists Not in the Band
The Beatles were blessed with four outstanding vocalists to deliver their wonderful songs. They really didn’t have any need to go looking outside the band for somebody else to bring something to the mic they couldn’t.
But there were a few occasions when someone who wasn’t a member of the group can be heard singing on a Beatles track. Some of them might be obvious to you, while others you might have either forgotten or not even realized.
“All You Need Is Love” from Magical Mystery Tour (1967)
You might not realize it when you hear it on the radio, but “All You Need Is Love,” aside from a prerecorded backing track, was mostly a live take. The Beatles performed the song in front of a worldwide audience for the first-ever international satellite broadcast. In honor of the occasion, the group invited a bunch of friends to come and sit in during the show. These luminaries sang along with the chorus as the song faded out. Among the famous folks included: Mick Jagger, Marianne Faithfull, Eric Clapton, Keith Moon, and Graham Nash.
