Our good pal Sal Nunziato, over at BURNING WOOD, put this up last week, and it has gone viral since.
But in case you missed it -- behold in breathless wonder.
The Abbey Road Medley, with (mostly) just the vocals.
Words, as I am wont to say, utterly fail me.

They made a good effort for their last hurrah. And, oh yes, they could really sing!
When they first hit in America, weren't they considered a "singing group," and the fact that they played their own instruments treated almost as a gimmick?
That's my vague recollection, but I was a wee toddler tot at the time.
I am gobsmacked!!
There's a group out of Toronto called "Classic Albums Live" that does (among other albums) "Abbey Road". No costumes, no accents, just the music, which they did superbly, cut for cut. I saw them earlier this summer in East Hampton on Long Island. They are not to be missed if they come to your town.
There's this, too. I was just telling my wife it's stunning how different the timbre of John and Paul's voices were, and yet when they're singing harmony it sounds like one animal.
This song also reminds me how revolutionary they were from the fucking get-go.
