🎸 Young John Lennon with Paul, George, Ringo, Cynthia, and Julian! 🎶 Take a trip down memory lane with this rare series of photos from The Beatles in Liverpool. Set to the iconic “Twist and Shout,“ see the Fab Four like never before! 📸✨ “Twist and Shout,“ originally by The Top Notes and famously covered by The Beatles, became a hit in 1963. With Lennon's gritty vocals and the band's energetic performance, it remains a timeless classic that captures the spirit of Beatlemania! 🕺🎤 “Twist and Shout“ is a song originally written by Phil Medley and Bert Berns (credited as Bert Russell). It was first recorded by The Top Notes in 1961, but it gained widespread fame with The Isley Brothers' 1962 rendition. The Beatles covered the song in 1963, featuring it on their debut album “Please Please Me.“ The Beatles' version, with its raw energy and Lennon's iconic, rasping vocals, became one of their most beloved tracks. Recorded in a single take at the end of a marathon recording session, Lennon's voice was already strained, adding to the song's gritty, powerful sound. “Twist and Shout“ showcases The Beatles' ability to take an existing song and infuse it with their own unique style, capturing the exuberant spirit of the early 1960s and the burgeoning phenomenon of Beatlemania.
