Sung on recordings · G2–C5
Paul McCartney sings G2 to C5 on record.
Paul McCartney sings G2 to C5 on released recordings — 2 octaves, 5 semitones, 30 notes.
That is the sustained sung range across released studio and live recordings: whistle register, screams, growls, spoken low notes and one-off falsetto squeaks are left out, and where sources disagreed the narrower reading was taken.
The baritone band, G2 to G4, holds 83% of the notes between G2 and C5. The catalogue holds no songs by Paul McCartney.
Two sources, and they disagreed. This is the narrower one.
