  • the Gentleman you ask about is George Martin. He produced the Beatles which is a good thing to have on a CV !!! Before that he produced The Goons and others. I'd known George for many years and during an interview with him for a TV series he was doing, he mentioned that he was going to put the Beatles stuff on CD, and it would be the last time those tapes would be heard as they were. I couldn't resist asking if I could come
    and have a listen....so I went to AIR studios, above Oxford Circus, and heard their multi-tracks for the first and last time. Yesterday, Ticket to Ride, Help.....paradise. When he put each fader up separately (and there was only 4 of them !!!)... each track had one or two instruments on them and you could hear the guys coughing etc. Anyway to get back to the point, he was making what was to be his last album. His hearing has suffered over the years and this was to be the last one. He asked the people he liked to pick songs of the Beatles to perform. I chose, after discussing it with him, Golden Slumbers, which has the little drum solo in it. He came out to France where we were recording DITL, and we did it all in a day. He'd say..."this is what George sang..." and "this is what Paul did.."it was quite magical. The album is called "IN MY LIFE" and there was a documentary made... don't know if that is available, though I have a copy. When I think of these things I've been able to do in my career, I'm very touched that I've managed to work with some of the greatest musicians, writers, producers of our time. I never forget how lucky I am. (2005)

    Many comments I noticed are comparing this to the Beatles version. I am sure Phil Collins is not trying to outdo the Beatles. I think he is just celebrating their brilliance. Very cool interpretation of the song. He is a musical genius in his own right.

      George Martin produced some amazing music at that time. As for picking talent he was amazing. A lot of good bands & singers ( eg Cilla Black) owe their success t that guy . He already was a well known name producing the really crazy Goon Show with Peter Sellars, Spike Milligan & Harry Seacombe . That was on BBC radio & was full on crazy, I loved listening to it as a kid & still do.

    "One morning I receive a call from Sir George Martin. As part of him winding down his career he wants to make an album, In My Life, featuring new versions of some of his favorite Beatles songs. We’ve known each other for years but never worked together, so I’m thrilled to be asked. He and his son Giles fly over to France to a house I’ve rented to use as a studio to record my next album.
    It’s decided that I’ll take on “Carry That Weight/Golden Slumbers” from Abbey Road. First I play the drum parts, including the famous Ringo solo. We double the length of it, which George loves. Then we go about the vocal parts, full of close, three-part harmonies, with George saying, “This is what Paul sang…this is what John sang…” Working with this genuine musical legend and thoroughly lovely man is a treasured memory of mine."
    What a talent...

      @mc17strat 7 років тому +3

      Sorry to disagree, but I don't see what the point of this project was anyway. Anytime you reproduce music - and in my opinion - less superior versions of the original songs in this case, you leave people asking why. Phil does a fine enough job of singing and playing the songs EXACTLY HOW THEY WERE ORIGINALLY RECORDED - BUT WHAT IS THE POINT? Jim Carey doing I AM THE WALRUS in his comical voice - WHAT IS THE POINT? Now I have to admit, I am a Puritan when it comes to my rock and roll - DON'T F^CK WITH THE ORIGINALS! Comedians recreating these songs is completely blasphemous in my opinion. However, if I were completely being objective, these versions add nothing original. Haha, Jim Carey funny voice version - um, I'll pass. Robin Williams - who I have always loved as a comedian and very talented actor - complete fail and very bad career decision. I think he was very vocal on how insecure he was about doing this project, too bad he didn't follow his instinct on this one. To your point above, I CAN PLAY DRUMS AND SING, AND PLAY GUITAR AND SING, AND PLAY PIANO AND SING, BUT THAT DOES NOT GIVE ME THE RIGHT TO ARROGANTLY REPRODUCE ALREADY WORTHY VERSIONS OF SONGS I WILL NEVER IMPROVE UPON. These poor celebrities went beyond their limitations due to hero worship and certainly ego kidding them they were worthy. Lastly, Mary you are a complete FUKTARD for even thinking that Phil had any right singing the Beatles. Sorry, but I had to add this last part because you are a RE-tard - however, I have to admit I am a Phil fan - prior to him becoming the 80s clown prince of pop. Respectively yours...Jackie Walton.

      Lovely and appreciated as a tribute. But his voice is not the most appropriated for this song since both have very different voices. Contrary to someone saying that Collins effortlessly sings this Beatles wonder, it is so noticeable he was making a great effort to reach the higher notes. But the thing to understand is that a homage is not to try to equal, much less to surpass, the original, but to thank those who did a classic, timeless song!

      Phil does ballads very well - he has a soft, pleasant and melodic tone. What he couldn't do well was the much more difficult and edgy early Genesis stuff. Also because Peter set a standard that nobody else seemed able to achieve.

    Have you watched the anthologies by George Martin. He said he hey were not trying to copy the Beatles sound. That would have been impossible. Every one involved in these few songs gave their own version on each song. I love Jim cary's version of its am the walrus. The Beatles were magical. Four human beings who were involved in a fantastic journey that thrilled the world. I was 11 and it was a magical time. Even in South Africa everybody could relate to them. They were funny gorgeous and absolutely unique. And we still have their music I'm 67 now and they are basically all I listen to my grandchildren love their music. It's so pure and sweet. I miss John Lennon. I love his voice the most.

I read his bio on the Queen Mary, crossing from NYC to the UK. I discovered the bio in the QM’s library. Got about 3/4ths through it on the QM. Had to buy it when we got back home to finish it. As we were “scouting about” London, we randomly got off the tube at an interesting looking small town to explore a bit. Turns out it was Phil’s neighborhood growing up. He describes it methodically in the book. What a coincidence. Speaking of coincidence, we also decided we want to see Abbey Road. Took the tub, then a bus or a 2 , then a short walk to get there. The closer we got, the more crowded it became. We were thinking “man, this place STILL draws a crowd”. Turns out, it was 50 years to the day of the infamous Beatles Abbey Road cover photo. They even had a Beatles recreation of the walk. I am a huge Phil Collins fan now, BTW. LOVED Genesis in the 70’s, but other than Peter Gabriel most of the band was incognito to me. I know much better know. And ALL of the band. Genius!
