On While My Guitar Gently Weeps, who sings backing vocals? Is it all Harrison cause I could swear I hear McCartney on some bits. Can't be Clapton can it he only did the lead guitar parts. Anyone? Thanks
I've seen so many people try and copy Eddie Vedder's voice. It's as if if you don't sound like him you're not a man. - Emmett Roslan

    The personnel for that track is, I think:

    George, all vocals/guitar
    Eric, lead guitar (put through ADT for extra "Beatley wobble")
    Paul, piano/bass
    Ringo, drums


    John wasn't at the session but I read in an old Beatles Monthly dated 1968 that he overdubbed some organ on the track. I don't know if that's right, though.

    I hope you're joking
    I've faced it, a life wasted, and I'm never going back again.

    Some die just to live.

    there's supposedly lots of 'clues'on a few albums

    there's even a book called 'the walrus was paul' that lists a whole lot of them. some i think are crazy, others i can see them playing a little joke that got out of hand...charles manson had been saying the beatles had been giving him subliminal messages to kill and whatnot so ithink if there was a joke they dropped it.


    but to answer your question, i believe all the vocals were done by george
    standin above the crowd
    he had a voice that was strong and loud and
    i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
    eager to identify with
    someone above the crowd
    someone who seemed to feel the same
    someone prepared to lead the way
