Melanie Who?

Is this another vanity addition? Who on earth is Melanie Coe? --81.103.144.87 04:02, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The girl who the song's about--Das Ansehnlisch (talk) 19:01, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Classical?

How is this song classical exactly? It just has symphonic instruments. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.110.89.194 (talk) 16:48, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As the article says, the music is traditional or classical English music in character. Its style is English, very distinct from other styles. FormerTrafficCrashPupil (talk) 19:21, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Lead Vocals

The article says John sang lead vocals on this one. Was there an error in transcribing the source material onto the page? Esszet (talk) 18:29, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It also said Paul and John switched leads within the song, and that neither George nor Ringo were involved one bit in the recording. FormerTrafficCrashPupil (talk) 19:25, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Some parts of this song recorded in 1966

External Link

Added an "External Link" section, and listed the TV appearance with Ringo by harpist Sheila Bromberg.--Daveler16 (talk) 15:47, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Novel

There's a novel with this title written by Edwina Currie. Can someone advise on disambiguation technique? Or better still, just do it! 2603:6010:4E42:500:6853:616D:2131:3D13 (talk) 22:33, 23 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A very belated reply, but: create an article named She's Leaving Home (novel) and add to the hatnote here. —Kodiologist (t) 14:45, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Was Sheila Bromberg the first female, or the second, on a Beatles track?

This article cites sources that claim that Shiela Bromberg (harp) was the first woman to play on a Beatles record.

However, the page for Shiela herself has the following paragraph, with citations:

In March 1967, Bromberg was hired to play the harp on the Abbey Road studio recording of "She's Leaving Home", one of the songs on the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album. This made her the second woman to appear on a Beatles song, the first having been Joy Hall—mistakenly credited as "John" Hall—who a number of weeks earlier had played cello on "Strawberry Fields Forever".[5][2] Her playing on the song has been said to "define the piece".[4][6]

So, which one is correct? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:44B8:28B:F300:D5EF:C941:143:2280 (talk) 20:20, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
