Various Artists "Here, There And Everywhere: Black America Sings Lennon, McCartney An
Description
Known for their shared love of black American music, the Beatles’ versions of songs by the likes of the Miracles, the Marvelettes, Arthur Alexander, Barrett Strong, the Isley Brothers and more provided an entry point into soul for many young Brits in the early 1960s.
As their fame spread across the Atlantic Ocean. It was inevitable that their music would start to impact on the musical worlds of soul and jazz in the shape of multiple covers of their hit singles and album tracks.
Ace has issued two previous highly acclaimed and strong selling collections featuring ‘Black America Singing The Beatles’, and “Here, There And Everywhere” is Ace’s third compilation of soul and jazz reinterpretations of classic Lennon, McCartney and Harrison copyrights.
This time we have extended the series’ remit to also include post-Beatles songs by John, Paul and George among our strong selection of goodies from the Fab Four’s golden decade.
All of the featured songs are exclusive to this volume, as are most of the featured artists. There’s an extended Motown contingent – appropriately enough, given the ‘Loveable Moptops’’ early appreciation and promotion of Motown before the label had enjoyed even one UK hit – and the repertoire here spans almost a quarter of a century of Beatle and post-Beatle covers, from 1964 to 1988.
Ace imagines that anyone who has purchased the previous two volumes will need no persuasion to add a third one to their collection! It’s also ideal as a stocking filler for Beatles fans around the world.

A little off the beaten path
How could I not be? I was raised in a Blue Collar family. My father worked for The Ford Motor Company. An uncle was president for the Detroit UAW. My blood runs Blue.
I am interested to know what you forum members think of the situation. I am especially interested in hearing from our friends outside of the United States. Things are rowdy right now, but I am betting on a Democrat blow out making Kamala Harris our next president.
New Book, 'Tamla Motown Worldwide II' celebrates Motown Picture Sleeves
Who’s dancing with Smokey on that French EP sleeve [it’s not Claudette – sure looks like Tammi]? Where exactly is the rusty bridge where Stevie’s sitting, on the cover of that Japanese single? And is that BG’s apartment where Marvin is pictured on “You’re A Wonderful One” [another French EP]? It certainly resembles the furniture in his living room at the top of 2648 West Grand.
Welcome to Tamla Motown Worldwide II, a new book of considerable depth – and weight – which illustrates the many, many picture sleeves encasing the many, many Motown singles and four-track EPs released around the globe during the first 12 years [or so] of the company’s existence.
