songs
Everywhere from 1962 to 1970, it is heard on 31 recordings. The first is 'Love Me Do' and the last 'Let It Be', with the Let It Be album leaning on it hardest, five of its twelve tracks. The lead vocals go John on twelve, Paul on six, George on four and Ringo on two. Of those, 'A Taste of Honey' is in F♯ minor, one of only two of their recordings in that key.
