all the important english groups of the 60s started out copying either or both bo and muddy: the animals, the small faces, the stones, the kinks, the who. then they all started copying the only group who didn't. funny, that. the animals, gonna send you back to walker: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xx4IYN7b1qU |

funny, these kids started out copying the beatles and are now doing all the r'n'b stuff. and they're still only 15 average age so not sure where they'll go next. this vid gives a good idea of what they're like live www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqQOiMYPsA8eta: first gig in london this weekend..... |

been listening to the stones first album. whats really striking is the muddy and chuck berry stuff they do great but on the motown song they fall flat. they just cant capture what marvin gaye and the funk bros did that made the record.

kinks live in paris www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NAhowOWi0gthe one thing all the english groups had in common was chuck berry. seems like they all picked different songs of his to cover. |

Great find. That led me to some classic Dick Clark 'Where The Action is' footage that I've never seen of The Kinks. I'm quite fond of the 'Where the Action Is' show vids. Ed Wood style lip synching with kids dancing and Ray is as awkward as ever. www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6sKcDRO9uA&feature=related |

if you can pick one song from the early sixties that really influenced the beatles, then this would probably be it www.youtube.com/watch?v=gb7NpHskLIEThey rehashed the verse a few times - it wont be long, all you've gotta do, and that chord change at "there aint no reason for you to declare" is a huge musical moment which they used with variations throughout the 60s - eg happy just to dance, gonna lose that girl. it pays to listen to the b-sides. |

I didn't hear The Beatles version of 'Soldier of Love' until it circulated in the early eighties--it was a real treat.

I can imagine - thing is if Lennon had lived during the 80s when this stuff came out he would have put the myth about music being crap in the early 60s to bed - as manho said, the opposite was the case.
He was always open about his sources unlike bob. There is a wealth of material from 58 - 62 that contain musical ideas that laid the groundwork for 60s songwriters.

Runaway 1961 - it doesnt get any bigger than this . The chord change Am-G-F-E7 has been used by nearly every band and songwriter down through the years. Here's a great punchy version of it by a dublin band: www.sendspace.com/file/judxjkThis is the song all the great ones analysed - even "genius" brian wilson went back to this for good vibrations, ill be back was lennon's version. As important as johnny be goode or tutti frutti. |

everyone was certainly aware how important runaway was at the time. one of the greatest pop singles ever. with a bit of a joe meek influence in the sound? hats off to larry, the follow-up, is well worth looking at too. maybe the first put-down song in the pop canon. i'm sure lennon (and dylan) were taking that in.

"with a bit of a joe meek influence in the sound?"
i was looking at this last night, actually, there was a guy in del's band called max crook who invented his own instrument and pioneered the organ sound on that record, independent of anyone else. kind of an unsung american joe meek.
edit to add: he also got a writing credit on runaway
