I'd certainly say it's a guitar note in that Santana song.Based on the clips I posted above, any more opinions on whether it's George or Paul?
Ben, I don't see sufficient resemblance between the "Fine Line" bits of "come on back" and the "yeahs" on WMGGW. I dislike repeating myself, but I'll say again the "yeahs" have a physically weak quality quite in keeping with George's general singing style (which is part of his "signature" that makes him singular). Now, Paul could be doing those, because of his amazing ability to do different styles. But George could too. And since it's George's song, and he's doing other vaguely similar "weepy" stuff in the song, it seems a reach to conclude it must be Paul.
I'm not as scientific about this as you are in terms of knowing exactly that George never actually sang that high; but even if one could document that as a fact, it doesn't mean he didn't go up another half step or whole step notch (or more) that day.

If George was able to sing The Inner Light, then I don't see why he wouldn't be able to sing the yeahs in WMGGW.

What's so special or difficult about the singing in The Inner Light? It never once approaches A4.

The Inner Light is above his usual vocal range. He needed some encouragement from John and Paul to sing it.

Really? That surprises me, it's not very high at all, and he seems to sing it with relative ease. The WMGGW "yeahs" are a lot higher.

That's what it says on this website, and several others as well. I was also surprised when I found out, but it's true.

I did not know what you guys were talking about, I didn't even realise there were "yeah yeahs" at the end of the track. Then I realised it was on the stereo version of the White Album, which obviously I don't listen to. If this was stated earlier I would have given my two cents earlier as well.
I'd go with thinking that it was Paul's vocals, but then again my opinion doesn't matter as I don't know much.
"When I was a robber *Piano Chord* in Boston Place"
"Let's hope this turns out pretty darn good huh"
"Pete may be the best, but Ringo is the star"
Paul:"Don't be nervous John"
John:"I 'm not"

I'd say its George at the end. Definitely sounds like he is straining his voice though to hit those yeah yeah yeah bits though (as funny paper said). Also if it were Paul I think it would be far more over the top.

Wow, seeing that "not so cute" joker over in the other thread AND "INNER LIGHT" ACTUALLY AGREEING with him reminded me why I left…
Still can't believe how so many people believe it's George.
I've listenend to almost every official McCartney song ever and would recognize this certain roughness in his voice anytime anywhere. Remember, he was the one doing Little Richard songs, NOT George!
And what the HELL has "Inner light" – which is a beautiful song – to do with the vocals in WMGGW?! Why do people come up with stuff like that and claim to prove anything with it? See, there it's me again being arrogant and condescending, but seriously, come on, COME ON!
George was able to hit that high note totally easily.
He even did it in "Old brown shoe".
And – here it comes – he even sings "yeah" on that note.
Check out 2.45.
So again: He sings the excact same word over the excact same note (very easily).
If you tell me this excact same word on the excact same note sounds excactly like the one at the end in WMGGW you're crazy.
And I'll keep my promise and stay away from the trouble elsewhere. Ben is doing a fine job, while I think he's way too polite…

"If you tell me this excact same word on the excact same note sounds excactly like the one at the end in WMGGW you're crazy."
So the argument is that George cannot possibly sing a word ("yeah") in two different songs -- differently…? Strange argument. I mean, I realize George's vocal talent is more limited than Paul's, but surely it's not that rigidly stunted and boxed in.

Good call staying out of that Paul thread…. I tried to be sensible and well now I am still trying to be sensible after his reply….
And I don't doubt in anyway your knowledge of Paul, but after listening to the isolated vocal track I really think its George. I'd go as far as making a youtube video for you to hear it if you do not have the isolated tracks.

The yeahs at the end of WMGGW have only ever sounded like Paul to me.

Well, since there are Beatles fans here who actually thought the "out of college" part of "You Never Give Me Your Money" was Ringo (Holy Toledo!!!), it seems relying on what "sounds like" is not sufficiently persuasive and has the potential of being wildly off the mark.
So, until someone can get through Paul's phalanx of ex-IRA bodyguards in order to ask him point-blank (before getting gunned down), we'll have to agree to disagree on a matter of subjective opinion.

In my defense, I only thought that it was Ringo before I really started listening to and liking the Beatles. I would never make a mistake like that now.

I think it's George.
And I really cannot imagine some people make such a big deal out of this. Really, just accept other people's opinions.
Also, I hear the yeah yeah yeah's, but I don't hear the whoo's. Then again, I'm partially deaf.

I bet you everything in the world it's George. I'm completely, 1000% certain it's George. Paul didn't struggle as much to hit the note; he did so very well in Baby's In Black. (ohh how long will it take~) I'm also certain BOTH countdowns before Taxman are George. BOTH!

Yeah, it's never sounded like anybody but Paul doing the actual count-in to me.
Strange things have turned out to be true on occasion, however.
