It is heard on sixteen recordings, from 1963 to 1970, almost the length of their recording life. It sits thickest on Abbey Road, four of its seventeen tracks. 'Twist and Shout' opens the run and 'You Know My Name (Look Up the Number)' closes it. More of them come from 1967 on than from the first four years, ten against five. The lead vocals go John on seven, Paul on four, George on one and Ringo on one. It sits on much the same share of each man's songs, 7% of Lennon's and 6% of McCartney's. On 'Twist and Shout': ascending 'ah' vocal in bridge.
