songs
46 recordings have it, for nearly the whole run, 1963 to 1970. 'I Saw Her Standing There' came first, 'For You Blue' last, with Beatles For Sale leaning on it hardest, seven of its fourteen tracks. The singing splits Paul on seventeen, John on thirteen, George on five and Ringo on four. Among them, 'Boys' has interjections vocal, and only three other recordings do.
