Long chorus

songs

Long chorus is on fourteen of their recordings, from 1963 to 1969, almost the length of their recording life. It begins on 'Boys' and finishes on 'Get Back'. Paul takes the lead on seven of the fourteen, four for John, and the two of them together on two, with Ringo on one. McCartney wrote eight of the fourteen, 'Hey Jude' and 'Hello, Goodbye' among them, 9% of his songs against 3% of Lennon's. Of those, 'Money (That's What I Want)' has Baldwin Satin Ebony Grand, and only two other recordings do.
