that was a cover song, and the only Beatles cover single to reach the Top 10 on a national record chart. It was the only million-selling Beatles single in the U.S. 2 on April 4, during the week that the top five places on the chart were all Beatles singles. It was released by Chicago-based Vee-Jay Records on the Tollie label and reached No. The song was released as a single in the US on March 2, 1964, with " There's a Place" as its B-side. The Beatles' version of "Twist and Shout" has been called "the most famous single take in rock history." You can hear that I'm just a frantic guy doing his best." A second take was attempted, but Lennon had nothing left, and it was abandoned. John Lennon provided the lead vocals and initially felt ashamed of his performance in the song "because I could sing better than that, but now it doesn't bother me. The Beatles' rendition of "Twist and Shout" was released on their first UK album Please Please Me, based on the Isley Brothers' version.
Background vocals by Rudolph Isley and O'Kelly Isley."Twist and Shout" became the group's first single to reach the Top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. He real master trick of this rearrangement was a new bridge consisting solely of four ascending sung notes, the tempo becoming more emphatic and dramatic, ending in exultant sustained whooping before a "shake it on baby" led the Isleys back into the verse. According to Unterberger, the new arrangement infused the tune with more "gospel-fired soul passion": When the Isley Brothers decided to record the song in 1962, Berns (who also used the name Bert Russell) assumed the role of producer. The Isley Brothers version "Twist and Shout" Bert Berns, the song's co-writer, was dissatisfied with the recording and Spector's production. In a song review for AllMusic, Richie Unterberger described the Top Notes recording as "a Latin-tinged raveup with a drab generic R&B melody" that he felt was "not very good". The Top Notes' Howard "Howie" Guyton provided the lead vocals, with accompaniment by saxophonist King Curtis, guitarist John Pizzarelli, drummer Panama Francis, and backing vocalists the Cookies.
The session was arranged by Teddy Randazzo and produced by Phil Spector.
The Top Notes, an American R&B vocal group, recorded "Twist and Shout" at the Atlantic Studios on February 23, 1961.
