Article Grading: The following comments were left by the quality and importance raters: (edit · refresh) "I'm a Loser" is also the title of a 1969 Doris Duke album. I'm making my first article "Doris Duke (soul singer)", and would like a disambiguation page or help clearing up the confusion here. Unfortunately, I don't know how to make one. I'd really rather not mess up a perfectly good Beatles song page trying, either. Help! --Dave

[edit] The Low G

I edited the line about the low G Lennon hits in the verses being 'arguably the lowest note' he sang in a Beatles song. It may be the lowest note he sang in a Beatles song, but he certainly matched it in Happiness is a Warm gun (he sings it on the line 'mother superior gumped the gun'). He also touched on the note in the backing vocals of 'Love Me Do'. He also hit low As in 'I Want You (She's So Heavy)', the backup vocals of 'I've Got a Feeling' and 'Back in the USSR', a low B in 'Norwegian Wood', and a low C in 'Don't Let Me Down'... probably among others that I'm missing. However, he's usually considered a tenor because he sang in a predominantly higher range (though he usually sang the lower part of the two-part harmonies with Paul McCartney).

That said, I removed the line about him being a tenor. For one, vocal distinctions like that are more intended for classical music - they tend to become very muddled when used in the context of pop music. Sure, there are some opera tenors who can and have hit a low G, but they're very rare. And for all we know, Lennon may have been more of a lyric baritone with who sang in a higher register most of the time because it suited the music - either way it doesn't matter. His range was really a marvel, though; in 'Happiness is a Warm Gun' the disparity between his high and low notes is so great that he almost sounds like two different people. He hits both a low G and a high A in full voice, and a C# in falsetto... not easy. - Timmerbo
