Name 2 Beatles hits that featured Paul McCartney alone? Yesterday and Elenor Rigby

Sorry, no. As I noted, John and George sing backup vocals on "Eleanor Rigby."

I know you've collected these questions from various sources over the years, and we're enjoying what you're putting out here.

But the answers aren't always accurate.

 

All I have to go by is the British book featuring little known facts about the Beatles that stated.."Paul overdubbed all the background vocals..." sorry, I forgot the title.

 

Blue Ridge Rangers is a Fogerty solo album. He played all instruments.

 

Tough crowd here!

 

Understood, but older information is often supplanted by newer.

Here's one of many references you can find that confirm John and George did the backing vocals: Recording, mixing: Eleanor Rigby, I’m Only Sleeping

 

Tough knowledgable crowd !

Perhaps ....

 

Sure they are ...just ask them!
