Various Artists "Here, There And Everywhere: Black America Sings Lennon, McCartney An

[jack020]

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.

I will pass. Not a fan of the Beatles, regardless of who's singing.

[Boogiedown]

at least its a creative compilation that required some effort and offers something fresh

[Optimal Saint]

There’s quite a few of the compilations out there, I have a couple myself

i wish they would just do single box set “Soul sings the Beatles” and be done with it

I'm not sure why You've Really Got A Hold On Me is on this album as it's a Smokey song covered by the Beatles and not "Motown Sings The Beatles".

Remember, there's precedent for it--since The Fab Four had hits with it and "Do You Love Me," they both appeared on The Sups' A Bit of Liverpool, too. Still a reach though--it's a missed opportunity for any number of great soul MacLen and Harrison covers that could have taken its place.

"The Fab Four had hits with it and "Do You Love Me," - that was Brian Poole and the Tremeloes and the Dave Clark 5 not the Beatles..

Same for Money and Please Mr. Postman

Ahh, I knew I shoulda Googled. Thanks for the correction. The essence of the point still stand, though, I think.

I overlooked those Jack020. All seem to be a strange inclusion.

[gman]

well...at least they picked one of the best tracks from A BIT OF LIVERPOOL...You Can't Do That...there is a performance of the group performing this and Eight Days A Week from TV....I think Shindig...and both are great...Liverpool was nothing to sneeze at...even though almost every later Supremes LP outsold it...at the time of its release it was the newest Supremes LP in the store for the big Holiday buy season, and the 2nd best selling LP from the company at that point [[behind Where Did Our Love Go?)

[jobeterob]

I think Do You Love Me was a hit by the Dave Clark 5 not the Beatles
