With A Little Help From My Friends sung by Ringo

This album falls right in the middle of their discography. You'd have to listen to the early albums to really appreciate how much they grew in such a short period of time. This album comes 4 years and 7 albums into their recording career! Beatles' fans will have so many answers to what is their best album. I really liked this album as a kid then really didn't listen to this album as much as the two preceding and following albums. But I've gone back to liking it more now.

With bands like The Beatles, I think your favorite album will change every few years, or sometimes even every few days . . .

That’s not only Ringo’s drums, that’s Ringo singing!

I knew it wasn't Paul or John singing "Little Help from My Friends", but I wasn't sure who did sing the lead so I had to look it up: apparently it was Ringo. 🙂🥁

Yes it was

One of the disadvantages of the streaming age is you don't get the album artwork. If you know anyone with a vinyl collection, see if you can look at the Sgt Pepper cover and the little printed tchotchkes that originally came with it. Sitting in your room staring at the artwork while listening to the music was an integral part of the experience in those days.

Ah, the Beatles. Music I learned from my mother who was on the Essen (city in Germany) concert in 1966. Fuck I'm old. 😄

That album takes me back to listening to it with friends. And they helped me get by.

Analyzing Beatles lyrics is quite fun, but keep in mind that the band members themselves didn't always take it as seriously as many might think. At one point, John Lennon even wrote a song that basically trolled people who studied their music. I remember a top rated comment saying that if John were to hear certain detailed interpretations, he'd probably say something like "Bloody hell, it's just a song, mate." Paul McCartney also said that a particular love song of his is actually a love letter to smoking weed. Of course, there are still many songs that they intended to be deep. One of the most popular being Lennon's "Imagine" from his solo career.

Nick, paul mccartney came up with sgt pepper's when the beatles were returning home to the uk after their last tour date at candlestick park in 1966. Paul created sgt pepper's to basically be the bealtes alter egos.

They used french horns on Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. This was the first Beatles album I ever heard all the way through, and I ended up "inherenting" it from one of my older brothers when they moved on to other types of music - and I still own it today. Its cover is worn and the vinyl is definitely scratched and well loved, but it still plays.

"Get back" is the documentary by Peter Jackson, and it's arguably the best beatles film ever. it shows the guys from an angle that we've never really seen before, just being themselves, without sensationalizing, without overplayed drama. it is veeeery long though, i think that you'd have to be really invested in these people personally to appreciate it fully. for me it's perfect, the more beatles content the better, i just love seeing them interact with each other. i would recommend familiarizing yourself with the bands history, watching some interviews, just getting to know the guys and the headspace they were at, if you want to watch the documentary

Hi, Thank you for reacting to The Beatles. ❤ Now that you are listening to this group I HIGHLY recommend you watch and react to "Across The Universe". Its a musical movie based around the Beatles music. Its BEAUTIFUL! ❤ PLEASE GIVE IT A CHANCE. Thank you! ❤

I love that movie. There was also a movie in the late 70s called Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band that featured the Bee Gees, Peter Frampton, Aerosmith. Alice Cooper, Steve Martin, Earth Wind & Fire, and others. Similar to Across the Universe, it contains covers of Beatles songs put together to tell a story. Critics hated it, but I loved it and still do.

With a Little Help From My Friends is such a special song. It's sung by Ringo and he's not the strongest vocalist. He was really nervous about doing that last long note in the song but the others encouraged him to do it. Art imitating life 🙂 Ringo usually sings one song on each of the albums. I'm a huge Beatles fan and have all their albums on vinyl. This is my third favourite, my top 2 are Revolver and Abbey Road. Sgt Pepper was where they were really experimenting musically. It's a little tricky to "get" it if you don't know much about them as their sound evolved a lot since their first album.

You already were one of my favorite reactors on KZread, but now you're reacting to my all-time favorite band!! I cannot be happier!!!

This was the first album that I ever bought. It was used and in a yard sale, so my 10yr-old self could afford it. I think I wore the grooves off that thing, I played it so much!

I also enjoyed the movie "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" 1978. Good music, great bands.

At the beginning of Sergeant Pepper's it's the ambience sound of an audience before a symphony. And this rock and roll band with all this symphony artists are playing you their songs.

Big Beatles fan here, but I heard "A Little Help From My Friends" before I ever knew who The Beatles were because of a segment on The Muppet Show set to that song, and it's memorable enough that it's stuck around in my head ever since. I'll link it if anyone is curious, but you will have to give it a minute to get to the actual song lol: kzread.info/dash/bejne/c5WZzceFlsi8iJc.html

That was Ringo singing A Little Help From From My Friends. George Martin, considered to be the fifth Beatle, was the production manager. He knew what he was doing.

This album was the first to have the lyrics to every song included on the cover. On the back. Also considered on fo the first "Theme " albums. Released June 1967.

You should check out the movie based on this album that came out in 1978. The movie itself is pretty weak but the soundtrack is covers of the songs from "SGT. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" done by some of the biggest names in music at that time. The chorus during the end credits also pays homage to the original 1967 album cover.

@@deepermind4884Too true but, just like the movie "Heavy Metal", a great soundtrack .

As a lifelong Queen fan i can answer your question: Somebody to Love was an Aretha Franklin tribute. No one but Freddie would be able to say if he heard the sentence "I need somebody to love" here and that got him inspired but it's a rather common phrasing so personally I doubt it had a direct impact. They were however The Beatles fans and cited them as their musical influences. They did perform Imagine live the day after John Lennon was killed and iirc both Freddie and Roger said he was their favourite Beatle. Freddie wrote Life Is Real as a tribute to Lennon in late 1981 (sadly released on a very polarising Hot Space album). There's also a heartbreaking cover of Lennon's God performed live by Brian May solo mid 90s with some changed lyrics (including not believing in being Queen anymore). Sorry for a long comment 😅

The first album with printed lyrics, btw.

Pepper is a concept album. Paul had the idea to pretend to be another band so they could just let go and not be themselves. This album is consistently in the top 5 albums of all time, and usually number 1. It was the album that changed music forever. Rock music could easily be separated into two eras, pre-pepper and post-pepper.

aw i didnt knew you were doing the beatles! this is the best, ty nick

Hey! React to Beatles any time! And by all means, finish out the album. Or any of their albums to be honest. Every album (and single) was a step. Listening to their discography in order is fascinating and and an education. But even if you just do this album, Revolver, Abbey Road, and The White Album, you'll be dazzled by the wide scope. Every album sounds different, they don't have any one sound or style. Entire subgenres of rock can be traced back to one single Beatle song. The band ELO for instance can be traced right back to one song, "I Am The Walrus". (oh man, do a reaction to THAT song! ) Ok, see you on your new site, already subscribed! Psyched! You certainly picked the right band to kick off your channel with!

The first song was an intro to the "concert. "

The second song was the main theme song of the TV show, The Wonder Years. Sung by someone else though.

Yes, yes yes thanks!

Thank you for reacting to my fav band!!!

I'm actually surprised that one of the Beatles songs you know is Maxwell's Silver Hammer. I only know it because I had a tape of Beatles songs they chose for kids when I was tiny and that was one of them (probably due to the nursery-rhyme tone), and I saw it as one of the lesser-liked songs. It's actually a metaphor for when something turns into a disaster with no warning, like getting ready for a nice date and then your date starts smashing your head in with a hammer.

3:38 yes, and it was also ringo singing the song!😊

Please do more Beatles if there's ones you haven't heard!

I grew up on the Beatles. My fav album is Abbey Road.

To get a full visual impact of the Sgt. Pepper outfits (and some Hula dancers), watch the video for Hello Goodbye.

You should definitely check out Get Back (the Peter jackson movie) after listening to their songs, it’s a really great series

I’m not sure this is the best way to get to know The Beatles, the best thing about them is how their music evolved in such a short period of time, this is after their evolution had taken force AND it’s in a way different because they weren’t themselves here, they were Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band as a way to not feel the pressure of making the next Beatles No. 1 hit.

When the Beatles started they were a cover band for old rock, you know 50's be bop a lula kinda rock, then got into their boy band phase then after much too much fame and 'getting high with the help of their friends' they became the amazing artists that tore themselves apart, people say it was Yoko but you come to realise they were heading that way already x

I hate the term "boy band" for the Beatles...they saved rock and roll from dying on the vine, they knew their audience had to be kids, preteens and teens in order to make it in the USA and the world...there was NO SUCH THING as heavy metal to compare them to at the time. their manager insisted they get out of the leather jackets, into suits to be presentable enough to make it in the business and he was right. Motown acts had t do the same thing. He also said no more swearing and smoking onstage, taught them how to bow..etc. Of Course they were "BOYS," but the label contains a convenient negative connotation they they were less than something and grew, when in fact they WERE something special and led the way, crashed down the door for everyone else...the long hair alone was considered outrageous by adult society at the time.

If I remember correctly, this album was basically a concept album for the band, where "SGT. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" was kind of a collective character for The Beatles. I believe the idea came from them having a lot of creative burnout, and decided to do something different than what they normally put out. And this album contains a "clue" that supports the "Paul is dead" conspiracy theory, that says Paul McCartney died in a motorcycle accident (the last part is true, he was in an accident), and the band decided to replace him with a guy named Billy Shears (who is named in the opening song), who got plastic surgery and vocal lessons to both look and sound like Paul. It's an interesting theory worth looking into, but don't put too much stock in it; the creator of the theory has even said that he BS-ed his way through it for a college newspaper.

Ringo was usually given a song to sing on each album, often a cover song or a song John and Paul wrote but didn't want to sing. But this song is the opposite of a throwaway - it is one of the loveliest things they ever wrote for Ringo. Hearing the three others doing a background harmony in response to Ringo's lead always makes me smile.

It was Paul's idea to have a theme album, pretending to be a different band other than the Beatles. So, Paul came up with the band name, "Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band." That was only for the album, but it was a made-up name. It wasn't live, but they had the sound effects to make it sound like a live audience.

If I remember accurately Sgt.Peppers was suppose to be a Concept album in response to The Moody Blues Days of Future Past (they had used an Orchestra and was about the Moods of a Day) and the Beach Boys Pet Sounds Album.

The Sgt. Pepper Album sold me on the Beatles although we already used to sing "When I'm sixty-four "and "With a little help..." in school (in music class and English class).

My dad and stepmom had “When I’m 64” as part of their wedding reception. It’s very meaningful to some of us.

You need to Google the 5th Beatle: George Martin.

As a fun exercise, pull up an image of the album cover and see how many of the personalities you can identify. I'm old, and I can still only get a few such as Marlon Brando, Marilyn Monroe, Bob Dylan, Laurel and Hardy, W.C. Fields, and an old version of the Beatles themselves.

Nick, there is a movie called “Across the Universe”. It’s a musical with all Beatles music. It’s fantastic! I don’t know if it’d work as a reaction because of all the music but you should check it out.

Ringo on lead. Ringo "How do I feel at the end of the day" John answers with "Does it worry you to be alone" On the bridge John and Paul "Do you need anybody" Ringo "I want somebody to love". Really quite brilliant stuff going on here. Peace ❤

I would thoroughly recommend that if you're interested in what it took to record this album, try tracking down composer Howard Goodall's Sgt. Pepper’s Musical Revolution, a definitive BBC2 documentary on its enduring appeal. It may be on YT somewhere. He delves into the great lengths they went to, without today's digital technology, to get the sound of a 'live' album.

Oh man, if the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of the Beatles is Maxwells Silver Hammer…you have a LOT to learn…lol

Its best to start at the beginning and listen to the albums in chronological order. That way you see how far they grew in the space of only 8 years... also dont forget the singles that werent included on the albums. "GetBack" is very good. But only after youve become more familiarized with the Beatles story as a whole, imo. Theres a relatively short little You tube summary vid of their story floating around, which for absolute begininners, is really good.

1:08 - So what you need to know about the Beatles is that their music goes through a number of different phases over their career. This album was right in the middle, near the beginning of their Experimental phase, so there's a lot of experimentation with sound design and psychedelic imagery. I could go into all the milestones and interpretations of the album, but you'd be better off just reading the Wikipedia page. It should also be noted that this is an early example of a 'concept album,' an album where the songs form a loose narrative or overarching theme, so listening to the whole thing at once is recommended. 2:27 - Like I said, this is a 'concept album.' The idea here is that the eponymous band was an old military band that brought joy to those who heard them play and the album is a concert by the latest generation of the band. They eventually made a movie based on the album's concept starring the BeeGees and featuring many of the greatest musical acts of the 70s as a Beatles tribute. Now that you're getting into the Beatles, there's a lot of movies you could try out. I'm going to recommend the movie based on this album, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, and also a more recent movie called Across the Universe, which creates a narrative from the entire Beatles catalog.

You mentioned watching Peter Jackson's "Get Back" documentary, which certainly wouldn't be a bad idea. Except that will give you a look only at a short segment of their career, near the end. A much better choice is to to watch the Beatles Anthology documentary, a multi-disk set which fully covers the band's origins, their musical evolution, and their impact. Highly recommended!

This whole album is really good. This and The Beach Boys - The Greatest Hits - Volume 1: 20 Good Vibrations are ones that my dad played a ton while growing up.

Cool insights! Def have to be aware that this is a whole concept as an album. They’re writing from the perspective from the fictional Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band and most of the songs are scenes or ideas related to the fictional concept of this band it’s world.

Would recommend listening to the double single for Strawberry Fields Forever / Penny Lane. They were recorded during the Sgt Pepper sessions, but it was decided they be released early to hold fans over since the album would take another 3 - 6 months to be ready.

The Peter Jackson film is just the Beatles recording one album and attempting to play it live. It's not a very good overview.

as a beatles fan who grew up with their music,i find it annoying that you keep cutting in too frequently keep the comments at the end of each track,otherwise the song is ruined ok?

Am I the only one who this skipped through the whole song(s)?

Go for the 2017 remixes and later if you listen to the Beatles. They were specifically mixed for headphones.

Is there a reason why you had to chop the songs up so much? It made this really difficult to enjoy. If it's due to copyright reasons that wouldn't allow you to play the entire songs, then you prob shouldn't pick these songs to react to. Anyway, be well!
