is John or Paul singing this?

Ammar:
not this only,even the very first phrase of "You Never Give me Your Money" was always John to me..(the sound of John Nasal as you call it)
Ammar, You have to be the first and only person that I've heard in 40 years say they believed the intro to "You Never Give Me Your Money" was John RMartinez - regarding you analysis of John's and Paul's parts...are you saying that one never sang on the other's "parts?" I need to go and take a closer listen, but when I first heard the isolated vocal it still sounded like John to me. But I will do my due diligence on this one and take a close listen on my surround sound system at home hopefully for more clarity.

The "aaaaahs" on A Day In The Life MIGHT have both singing. But my ears tell me it is Paul with a lot of delay, which gives the illusion of two people singing together. That's what I hear.

RMartinez:
Another issue is how high the notes go. Paul always had a steadier high voice, though to be fair, John could hold his own.
Thats one of the points that made me change my mind about John singing this part after many years. When you hear clearly all Beatles songs and understand the range of Paul voice (and John) you will know who will sing such high notes perfectly. just like "Lusy in the sky with diamonds" the main voice in the chorus part is Paul but many think it is John.

In LSD, Paul is singing the high harmony, John the lower melody, just like they have done many many times in previous songs. The "Ahhh" singing is not really that high and John could (and I believe, did) sing them quite easily. We all must agree to disagree here.

Of course we all disagree or agree here. But it was Paul alone who did ahhhh ok for LSD chorus: the very first phrase of the first chorus it is Paul alone, then joined by John in unison, then Paul doing harmony (it could be an additional track).. the harmony goes on on the rest chorus of the song. this is what I hear with respect for what you hear
what a genius bass line also -
Its clearly Paul. First, it was his part of the song. Second, he used this singing style in other songs on the album, especially Lovely Rita. Third, Paul was the one who came up with the dreamy "drug" theme for the song. "I love to turn you on.." was Paul's line.

Paul came up with "I'd love to turn you on" but John sings it. I hope no one disputes that.

With the 50th anniversary of Sgt Pepper comes fresh interviews. Geoff Emerick says it is John.

The famous "aaaahhhh" after Paul sings "went into a dream" Some say its Paul, some say it's John. Geoff Emerick says it's John, yet some swear he is wrong? I think George Martin once commented it was Johna as well, though I could be mistaken.
I always thought it was John. It's featured in his "Imagine" documentary as well.
Has Paul or Ringo for that matter ever commented on it?
People who say it is Paul used the "Lovely Rita" intro as a reference. Thats a much higher octave IMO.
Thoughts??
