Moving into the Top 20!
20. HEY JUDE-THE BEATLES (1968)
single (available on several compilation albums)
Starts off in an understated manner, but eventually it sounds like everyone in the world has joined in (except me..my invitation
must've gotten lost in the mail). McCartney's vocal is superior here, from the heartfelt opening minutes to the "rip the vocal
cords apart" ad libbing that follows. For awhile I undervalued this one, but have in recent years regained my appreciation of it.
And that lonnnnnng fadeout. Although I know better, a part of me half believes that somewhere, somehow, The Beatles are STILL singing
those "nahhhh, na, na, na-na na, nahhhh's"..........
19. THAT'S THE WAY GOD PLANNED IT-BILLY PRESTON (1969)
Album: That's The Way God Planned It
Preston's vocal is so heartfelt on this Gospel styled number that he could almost make an atheist head straight to a house of worship.
Very powerful.
