Songs For Saturday: The Beatles

 


As part of their Spring 1963 UK Tour, the Beatles performed in London at the Majestic Ballroom on April 24th 1963. 

Which was also the day of my landing on this planet  birth.  

Since today is April 24th, let's take a look at some of my favorite early songs by the Beatles that may well have been on their play list as they performed in London to celebrate my arrival on this planet birth.  

Let's kick off today's Songs For Saturday and our spotlight on the Beatles in 1963 with "Please Please Me", a tight two minute number that has always been one of my favorite records from the Beatles in their early years.  


"Love Me Do"  with Andy White credited on drums instead of Ringo Star.  And on the harmonica is John Lennon.  



"Twist and Shout", a cover of a song written by Phil Medley, Bert Russell.  


That's John Lennon tearing his throat to shreds with a primal scream of a vocal.  

Paul McCartney takes the lead as we wrap up today's Beatles 1963 play list with  a live performance of "I Saw Her Standing There" 


I hope you enjoyed our musical trip through history. 

Until next time, remember to be good to one another and to always keep the music alive.
