There's a really high note Paul hits in Money (That's What I Want). During John's scream before the solo, Paul screams as well. You can hear it for a tiny bit after John finishes.

Amazing singer. I was astounded to learn that he doesn't drink ANYTHING through his three hour live shows – he thinks it's “unprofessional” and not polite to the audience! Speaking for myself: I empty a 1,5 litre bottle during a three hour show – and I need it!
He didn't always feel that way. 
Ad hoc, ad loc, and quid pro quo! So little time! So much to know!

Offline You're right skye – I have to believe he emptied a bottle or two on stage at least once in the past (Hamburg perhaps?).
But back to the topic – I have always been impressed with his range as well as John's. One of the things my wife loves best about The Beatles is the fact that they could all sing – at least to some degree. Between Paul and John, there wasn't a note that could not have been reached.
To the fountain of perpetual mirth, let it roll for all its worth. And all the children boogie.

Offline Paul can sing very high. Oh, and he can sing high notes, too…..<rimshot! cymbal crash!>
He's disgusting: even his screams are beautifully melodic and never shrill….the dang show-off!

Offline Yes Paul's voice can go to amazing places when he sings! I know this isnt an example of high pitched singing but in P.S. I Love You when he says “You know i want you to” Its like woah!

That's why I wouldn't want Paul for a best friend. He's the guy who can do anything you can do — better than you can — without even trying.
Why did I see that “sing very high” joke coming from a mile away?

… is just sick!I don’t know excactly what his highest note would be, but he did some nice high falsetto screaming in songs like “Why don’t we do it on the road” or “Hey Jude “.
I think what he does in “Get On The Right Thing” goes higher. Near the beginning of my 45-second sample of the song, and towards the end you can hear him going way up high:
Faded flowers, wait in a jar, till the evening is complete... complete... complete... complete...

That “hey-HEY-YEAH!” near the end of that extract is full voice, not falsetto, and touches on an F#5, one of his highest full notes that I’ve found.

Ah, cool. From my memory, it does seem to be the highest he’s gone with, as you say, a full voice.
However, if you want really high vocals (full not falsetto), you go to Phoebe Snow:

Offline James Taylor has a wide vocal range, and he dips way low in this song: I Was Only Telling A Lie
Here’s a 30-second snippet of the beginning of the song — note the word “side” when he sings “by my side” at about 00:43 seconds):
Faded flowers, wait in a jar, till the evening is complete... complete... complete... complete...

Did Paul have what they call a perfect pitch?

Isn’t pitch part of vocal range?
I have no idea.
Blame @Ahhh Girl, if she didnt work or sleep or live a life outside of here then she could have directed you to the correct place within seconds and left a chocolate on your pillow. Instead you have to make do with charlatans like myself trying to fill the void.

Offline According to this article, Paul did not have perfect pitch.
Maybe this is what you are remembering, JPM-Fangirl. George Martin says that he himself was born with perfect pitch. GM:
“I can remember reaching up to the keys trying to play when I was very small. I only ever had eight piano lessons when I was about ten. Then my mother had a row with the teacher. I’m completely self-taught, because I was playing before I got those lessons. I can’t remember not playing. I can’t really explain it, but I was born with an understanding of music and perfect pitch.
“Paul McCartney can’t read or write music but he’s probably the best musician I know, because he has this innate sense of what music is about and the way that it’s structured. I had that, too. I suppose that was why Paul and I related so well.”
