Tony Sheridan (born Anthony Esmond Sheridan McGinnity on May 21, 1940 in No… Read Full Bio ↴Tony Sheridan (born Anthony Esmond Sheridan McGinnity on May 21, 1940 in Norwich, United Kingdom - died 16 February 2013 in Hamburg, Germany) was an English rock and roll singer-songwriter and guitarist. He is best known as an early collaborator of The Beatles, and one of two non-Beatles (the other being Billy Preston) to receive label performance credit on a record with the group.

In 1956 Tony formed his first band. In 1958, at 18, he began appearing on the BBC's Oh Boy, playing electric guitar. He was eventually offered a contract to perform at the Top Ten Club in Hamburg, Germany.

While performing in Hamburg between 1960 and 1963, Sheridan employed various backup bands. In 1961, one such band, who had met Sheridan during their first visit to Hamburg in 1960, and who worked with him on their second, was The Beatles (with their line-up at the time as John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Pete Best). When German Polydor agent Bert Kaempfert saw the pairing on stage, he suggested that they make some recordings together. In 1962, after a series of singles (the first of which, "My Bonnie"/"The Saints" made it to #5 in the Hit Parade), Polydor released the album My Bonnie across Germany. The word Beatles was judged to sound too similar to the German Pidels (pronounced peedles), the plural of a slang term for penis, hence the album was credited to Tony Sheridan and The Beat Brothers. After The Beatles had gained fame, the album was re-released in Britain, with the credit altered to Tony Sheridan and The Beatles.

By 1967, Sheridan had become disillusioned with his Beatle-brought fame. As he was more concerned by the Vietnam War, Sheridan agreed to perform for the Allied troops. While in Vietnam however, the band that he had assembled was fired upon and one of the members was killed. Reuters reported that Sheridan himself had died. For his work entertaining the Allies, Sheridan was made an honorary Captain of the United States army.

In the early 1970s, Sheridan managed a West German radio programme of blues music, which was well-received. In 1978, the Star Club was reopened, and Sheridan performed there along with Elvis Presley's TCB Band.

On August 13, 2002, Sheridan released Vagabond, a collection largely of his own material, but also including a new cover version of "Skinny Minnie", a song he had years earlier recorded for his first album.

I loved the pre Kennedy assassination era of music

Also, especially before 1966
I think, R&R went to ROCK after 1966..
Although it was a mix of songs, it wasnt the same.
Part of thus, I believe, MEN SERENADED THE WOMEN
and after the 80s, it STOPPED
now, it's silly women serenading men

The sperm chases the egg..its backwards

Oh, my God
I'm remembering 1991 in Sunderland
When I met the Handsome 5 Boys, called
The Drifters
What a night that was
And I still love playing their music
By the way they gave me a souvenir a beautiful Belt!
I still still have it
Thank you Driftes Guys🙏
Please save the last dance for me!👍💖

As I listen to this I was unmarried, and going out with a young man who loved me,(I was seventeen), but did not love him..so we went our different ways, but even now will remember him with fondness. Great time we had, I still have three old school friends and we have grown up together, when we meet we have a great time going back in time to all this lovely music, we sing along to it.....Oh for the 60's..great!

NYC calypso soul, heavily influenced by Spanish Harlem rhythm, Ben E. King and others. You would enjoy Up on The Roof by this group and Bob Dylan's early version of Spanish Harlem Incident. Two different musical genres, but great, nonetheless.

The songwriter, Doc Pomus, was crippled but his wife or girlfriend loved to go out and dance - so he would go with her to the clubs so she could dance. She would dance with other men while he sat on the sidelines and watched. But when it was time for the last dance of the evening, he would get up and dance the last dance with her. Hence, the song. True story and very touching! That is how this wonderful song was written! (He was crippled so he couldn’t really “dance” but he would go out there for a minute and she would push him around the floor a bit.)

This was my parents song.. They got together at 15 in 1975 and married at 17 in 1977, together 40 years, married for 38. Dad was a rigger and mum a dancer (she loved tap). They always danced to this song at the end of the night no matter where we were or even if they were bickering in the car on the way there beforehand lol. We lost dad at 55 suddenly from a heart attack and then mum passed at 58 suddenly from a blood clot, Some family members say a broken heart. But this song reminds me of their true love they had for each other and will always remain on my playlist 😁
