| COMMENTS | "Twist and Shout" is a 1961 song
written by Phil Medley and Bert Berns (later credited as
"Bert Russell"). It was originally recorded by the Top
Notes, but it did not become a hit in the record charts
until it was reworked by the Isley Brothers in 1962. The
song has been covered by several artists, including the
Beatles, Salt-N-Pepa, and Chaka Demus & Pliers, who
experienced chart success with their versions. The Beatles' rendition of "Twist and Shout" was released on their first UK album Please Please Me, based on the Isley Brothers' version. The song was released as a single in the US on March 2, 1964, with "There's a Place" as its B-side. It was released by Chicago-based Vee-Jay Records on the Tollie label and reached No. 2 on Billboard's chart on April 4, during the week that the top five places on the chart were all Beatles singles. It was the only million-selling Beatles single in the U.S. that was a cover song, and the only Beatles cover single to reach the top 10 on a national record chart. (from Wikipedia) |
