When the news broke about this partial Beatles reunion, it fueled the fires of a full Beatles reunion, something which much of the world was yearning for. Perry added applause to the track, a connection to the first appearance of Ringo as Billy Shears, on Lennon’s “With a Little Help from My Friends” on Sgt. And “fifth Beatle” Billy Preston played organ. Ringo recorded his lead vocal, replacing some but not all of Lennon’s singing. Many writers have suggested that it’s his playing that makes this the most Beatlesque record made since the breakup. In subsequent sessions came many overdubs, including George Harrison adding several layers of electric guitars-including rhythm, arpeggios and slide. ” Tell him to get down here right away and help me finish this bridge!”
George had heard that John and Ringo were recording together, and called up Perry to ask if he could join the party. George Harrison was in L.A., and had already played on two songs for the record.Īlthough the common assumption was that Ringo and/or John invited him to participate, they did not. Richard Perry produced the sessions, the first being the basic tracking session for the song with Ringo on drums, Lennon on piano and scratch vocal, George on electric guitar and their old pal Klaus Voorman on bass. The song was recorded on Maat Sunset Sound in Hollywood (making it the only studio in Hollywood, next to Capitol, where all four Beatles have recorded-as McCartney recorded there separately.)
