In LA,Ca we have 2 Beatles shows on the fm dial at the same time. Both Sun.am one is.8 to 1pm on 97.1 and then over on 101.1 8 to 10. They both have so much of this discussion stuff. I've heard so many stories about the wives the breakup the legal issues. All is interesting. Mostly I listen to the music;and switch stations constantlly. That is my Sunday am on FM.
A little tip about the Beatles. Although both their names (L and M) are on Beatles songs as the composers, they usually wrote their own songs. Whoever sings the lead, in a song, was the writer. A Day in the Life, for instance, needed something, so Paul added his little bit, and sung it, as well. Woke up, got out of bed, dragged a comb across my hair....that part.. just a little fwiw. peace, warren
Maybe Carl Perkins as on Honey Don't or Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby? But if it has to be one of the Fabfour it's George 'picker' Harrison.
RV, are you trying to say that Perkins provided those vocals? I know that he wrote both songs, but weren't the lead vocals Ringo on "Honey" (John does the lead on some BBC versions) and George on "My Baby"?
4yanx: nope, simply addressing the question who plays lead guitar. Check out this Perkins link:

It cites Perkins touring England in 1964. Did George Martin use him on some sessions? It wouldn't surprise me. In any event Harrison was a great admirer of Perkins. The picking on I Feel Fine bears some resemblance to the more countryfied feel of the Perkins tunes covered by the boys during the same period. I doubt frontman Lennon could have been bothered to learn the intricate patterns on I Feel Fine: interferes with me singin' don't ya see?
