songs

It is on close to half of everything they recorded, 97 of the 217 recordings, everywhere from 1962 to 1970. The A Hard Day's Night album leans on it hardest, twelve of its thirteen tracks. It first turns up on 'P.S. I Love You', cut 11 September 1962, and was last heard on 'Let It Be'. The singing splits John on 38, Paul on 29, George on 7 and Ringo on 4.
