'Devil in her heart' on the album 'With the Beatles' (UK) was written by Richard Drapkin who recorded under the name of Ricky Dee. Drapkin did not release the song on record, but it was recorded by the Donays, who only recorded this one single which was released in August 1962 in the USA, and October in the UK. The song did not become a hit for the Donays.

'Baby its you' on the Beatles album 'Please Please Me' was first recorded by the Shirelles in 1960 and released in 1961. The song was written by Burt Bacharach, Mack David and Luther Dixon (credited as Barney Williams). The Beatles recorded the song on February 11th and 20th 1963.

Mister Moonlight
On the Star Club tapes the Beatles played a fast version, but later recorded it slower.

Beatles quite faithful to the original?

Beatles quite faithful to the original? Very faithful! For me Lennon's vocal is better but this is a live performance with a lot of ad libbing from Smokie. I assume his vocal on the original is more defined.

The original "To know him is to love him" by the Teddy Bears
This version by the Beatles really showcases their harmonies

This is the original by Barbara Cook who sang it on Broadway, then Shirley Jones in the film of 'The Music Man' and then Anita Bryant had a hit with the song.

"A Taste of Honey" was originally an instrumental [film theme] then later released as a vocal.
The Beatles included it on their regular setlist

A 'B' side for Buddy Holly's 'Peggy Sue got married', 'Crying, Waiting' Hoping' was one of the songs the Beatles sang in the Decca sessions, and live for the BBC in 1963.

A unique vocal style in the original of "Some other guy"
This was a staple of the Beatles repertoire, and was popular with many other Merseybeat groups. Famously, recorded as their first TV appearence....
... as well as a great live version on the BBC album.

The Beatles covered enough Chuck Berry numbers to make him a rich man. My favourite is probably "Memphis, Tennesse"
.... like the above "Some other Guy" this was a staple of the Merseybeat groups, and I could bet on hearing both songs at least once during a Cavern session. A friend had the "Beatles Live at the BBC" when it first released, and I was overjoyed to hear their live sound captured for ever. Hearing that great riff, and John's voice was very special....

That "Nothing shakin'" was another very popular number in Liverpool. Here's another that most groups performed, mainly because the Beatles popularized it....
By the way, the great Jerry Lee Lewis did a superb version at the Star Club:

From 'Please Please Me' the original 'Chains' by the Everly Brothers was not released, but in 1962 Little Eva's backing singers the Cookies released it. The song was written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King.

Never heard the Everly Bros. version of "Chains." I didn't think 2-part harmony would work on that song, but hey, it's the Everlys. And it sounds great.

A number that the Beatles covered at the BBC. Listen to Ann's early valley girl pronunciations. * HA! - This ain't the Beatles. They took down the original one I had up because of copyright restrictions.
