What voice types were the Beatles?

I consider John, Paul, and George to be a high baritone, mid-range tenor, and low tenor respectively, though John often sang within the baritenor or low tenor range right from the get go, while George often sang within the high baritone range until the late 60’s onwards where he often sang within the tenor range.

What kind of voice does paul McCartney have?

Paul McCartney has a perfectly clear tenor voice with such a strong lower range that some people label him as a ‘baritenor’. He most often took the high part in harmonies and was known for a range that spanned at least four octaves at the peak of his career.

What vocal type is George Harrison?

George Harrison sang in the tenor range during the late 60’s although he sounds more like a baritone when he talks. He also generally sang within the top end of the baritone range in the early 60’s.

Was Elvis a tenor or baritone?

Voice characteristics Elvis Presley was a baritone whose voice had an extraordinary compass — the so-called register — and a very wide range of vocal colour. It covered two octaves and a third, from the baritone low-G to the tenor high B, with an upward extension in falsetto to at least a D flat.

Which of the Beatles’ vocal styles has changed the most?

From the early 60’s to the late 60’s, George’s vocal style is probably the one that’s changed the most out of The Beatles. His voice sounds younger than John’s voice to me, which could be partly because he is younger.

What was the vocal range of the Beatles’ John Lennon?

McCartney was the tenor, Lennon a high baritone, Harrison a standard baritone on the high side and Ringo was the low baritone. In ALL of their three part harmonies, it was George who carried the low parts, with Lennon in the middle and McCartney on top. As for vocal ranges, McCartney could go the highest going up to G5 in “Twist & Shout”.

What is the sound of the Beatles?

The Sound of the Beatles looks carefully into the first songs of the Beatles for the structure that is lying behind all those characteristics. The outcome of this sociological research project: the curious chord combinations of beat music are based on a new and self-reliant musical system.

How many tenors would it take to make the Beatles?

(Note especially “With a Little Help from My Friends.”) Two tenors, one tenor/baritone who could go “low” to fill out the three-part harmony (McCartney)… and then one bass who only sang the occasionally lead or solo, never harmony.
