From Wikipedia:
“Ooh! My Soul“, sometimes spelled “Oh My Soul“, is a 1958 song by Little Richard. It first appeared on his eponymous second album. It was subsequently recorded by the Beatles in 1963 for the BBC, and by Big Brother and the Holding Company in 1966.
The Beatles version
The Beatles recorded the song for a performance at the Playhouse Theatre in Manchester with McCartney on lead vocals. Their recording is shorter than Richard’s version. The recording was unavailable until it was released officially on Live at the BBC.
Paul McCartney in "Many Years From Now", by Barry Miles:
I could do Little Richard’s voice, which is a wild, hoarse, screaming thing, it’s like an out-of-body experience. You have to leave your current sensibilities and go about a foot above your head to sing it. You have to actually go outside yourself. It’s a funny little trick and when you find it, it’s very interesting. A lot of people were fans of Little Richard so I used to sing his stuff.

If we modestly consider the Paul McCartney Project to be the premier online resource for all things Paul McCartney, it is undeniable that The Beatles Bible stands as the definitive online site dedicated to the Beatles. While there is some overlap in content between the two sites, they differ significantly in their approach.
