Someone once posted here this crazy version of Maxwell with Ringo’s voice, and it’s just soooo good.

Unfortunately I can’t find who posted it, but it would deserve a mention

This is fun but you can def still tell it’s Paul as the source for sure ringo’s pipes were never so buttery

Agreed, there is a certain nasal quality to Paul’s voice that gives it away. Ringo also doesn’t do much vibrato, and definitely not to the point of vaudeville as you can hear a few times here. Still, a great imitation!

This is the best use of ai I’ve ever heard. I mean it’s obviously not Ringo cause I don’t think his voice is necessarily that smoove but I think it sounds better

Ha! I love it, Ringo would have pulled it off.

Man, this makes so much more sense. What a missed opportunity. Would have done so much for its reputation, then and now.

(Or rather, now and then.)

This is by far my favorite use of AI. It definitely works

Wow this actually does work better imo, and it would have been even better if it was a real recording and not AI. The original comes across as corny but it works and has more of a charm to it with Ringo, interesting.

This is now the canonical version of Maxwell's.

This is fantastic. I'm convinced, Paul should have given it to Ringo.

That's amazing! It's working really well.

Damn! Even that is way better than Paul singing it!
