Some of the comments regarding the bass track, on the right side, made me curious so I listened to the song a few more times and did some research. Not only can Paul play a mean bass guitar, he can sing it well too. I've been a Beatles fans for so long and I keep learning more!
From: http://www.beatlesbible.com/songs/i-will/
"Take 65 of I will was the best version, and the next day McCartney overdubbed on this backing vocals, bass and another acoustic guitar track. He also sang the bass part

I can never figure out (for myself) which one of The Beatles songs I like best -because the styles can be quite different in their songs- but this one is definitely top5 material, maybe even top3.
The sung baseline tops it of. Fantastic!

Has a stylistic and tuneful similarity to McCartney's early solo hit, 'Another Day'. But 'I Will' is a smoother, sweeter melody.

One thing about this song that isn't mentioned often - it is one of the great song titles of all time. Simple but lovely.

Sounds like it would have fit perfectly on "McCartney", his first solo record. "Every Night" is very similar to this song.
The White Album is not their best record, but this is a fabulous song.

An trumpet interpretation of this simple song won me the gold at the local solo and ensemble competition back in 1971, thoroughly pissing off those who had labored on much more technically difficult pieces. Moral: Don't go up against the Beatles, son - yer bound to loose.

Yes, I used to sing this to my son for the first few years of his life; he still likes to hear me play it for him once in a while. It's a beautiful song, really. |

Love the vocal double-tracking. The unison makes the brief harmony that much more effective.

Blackbird is of course great too, but for me this one is just as good! |

This is off of the remastered CD. When I got this CD there are things on there that I have never heard before, I mean in regards to clarity. I purchased all of the new remastered CD's from Help to Abbey Road and in my opinion the White Album sounds the most reveling. |
