Re: Musical Tastes
Okay, I got sidetracked from my cover songs, but I'm back. Anyone else have any ?
Yes , this version is a cover. Most people think the Beatles covered this one..If they did ,they ripped the soul right out of it, IMO.
The first version of this song was recorded by The Top Notes and it was produced by Phil Spector. The songwriter Bert Berns absolutely hated Spector's production because it "killed the feel" of his song and is the reason it flopped as a single. So Bert decided to produce this version with The Isley Brothers and it became a huge hit.
