Please, Please Me…
This was the first album by The Beatles. The album was a mixture of mostly cover songs and originals released in 1964. I mostly give the history of the covers. You might be surprised when you learn the origins of over half of this album.

My favorite song was “Twist & Shout,” when I was 4 years old, and man was I surprised when I saw The Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show and learned that John, Paul, George and Ringo weren’t black! For this to make sense please press the ‘play’ button.
