Good Saturday morning on this "Labor Day Week-end", My Brothers and Sister's in Arms!!!
I came onto this first song in my Saturday "Music Interlude"! The song (Golden Slumbers) and lead singer is by Paul McCartney and friends! two songs in rapid succession beginning with Paul at the Piano until... He arose, walked over to pick up his guitar and joined Mark Knopfler, Eric Clapton, and Phil Collins and a host of others on the Wrap up song and the audience at the Golden Slumbers (Music For Montserrat) - Live At The Royal Albert Hall, London / 1997 closed it out!!! Awesome!!!
About Golden Slumbers...:
" "Golden Slumbers" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles from their 1969 album Abbey Road. Written by Paul McCartney and credited to Lennon–McCartney, it is the sixth song of the album's climactic B-side medley. The song is followed by "Carry That Weight" and begins the progression that leads to the end of the album. The two songs were recorded together as a single piece, and both contain strings and brass arranged and scored by producer George Martin."
"McCartney was the lead vocalist. He begins the song in a soft tone appropriate for a lullaby, with piano, bass guitar, and string section accompaniment. The drums come in on the line "Golden slumbers fill your eyes", and McCartney switches to a stronger tone, both of which emphasize the switch to the refrain. McCartney said, "I remember trying to get a very strong vocal on it, because it was such a gentle theme, so I worked on the strength of the vocal on it, and ended up quite pleased with it."
"The main recording session for "Golden Slumbers"/"Carry That Weight" was on 2 July 1969. John Lennon was not present, as he had been injured in a motor vehicle accident in Scotland on 1 July, and was hospitalized there until 6 July."
"Drums, timpani, and additional vocals were added in an overdub session on 31 July, the same day the first trial edit of the side two medley was created, with Lennon participating in the session. On 15 August, orchestral overdubs that marked 30 musicians altogether were added to "Golden Slumbers" and five other songs on Abbey Road." - Read more at Wikipedia.com
