Here, There And Everywhere : Black America Sings John Lennon, Paul McCartney And George Harrison

Description

Known for their shared love of American black music, the Beatles' versions of songs by groups like the Miracles, the Marvelettes, Arthur Alexander, Barrett Strong, the Isley Brothers, and many others allowed numerous young Britons to enter the world of soul in the early 1960s. As their fame spread across the Atlantic, it was inevitable that their music would begin to impact the musical realms of soul and jazz in the form of multiple covers of their hit singles and album tracks. Ace has already released two highly acclaimed and best-selling compilations, including "Black America Singing The Beatles," and "Here, There And Everywhere" is Ace's third compilation of soul and jazz reinterpretations of the classic songs by Lennon, McCartney, and Harrison – and the first to be released on double vinyl, as well as on CD. This time, we have expanded the series' mandate to also include post-Beatles songs by John, Paul, and George among our solid selection of goodies from the golden decade of the Fab Four. All the songs featured are exclusive to this volume, as are most of the artists presented. The Motown repertoire is very extensive – which is quite fitting, given the early appreciation and promotion of Motown by the "Loveable Moptops" even before the label had seen a single success in the UK – and the repertoire here spans nearly a quarter of a century of Beatles and post-Beatles covers, from 1964 to 2004. Ace "Imagine that anyone who has purchased the previous two volumes will not need to be persuaded to add a third to their collection! It is also an ideal gift for Beatles fans around the world.
