It is heard on nine recordings, from 1964 to 1970. 'I'll Be Back' is the earliest and 'The Long and Winding Road' the last. 'I'm a Loser' and 'Help!' are two of them. The singing splits John on four, Paul on three and George on two. Among them, 'For No One' carries French horn solo as well, which only two of their recordings do.
