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. Read Full BioTony 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.

R.I.P McGinnity. I was at the same school in Norwich as him; he was the singer with 'The Saints' skiffle group.A bunch of us would get together in the Music Rooms at lunchtimes and play Skiffle; sometimes Mac would be there, sometimes Kenny Packwood, The Saints' rhythm guitarist, sometimes anybody with a guitar. I was learning 'Cello at the time, and tried to provide bass lines. I was crap , but McGinnity and Packwood never told me to clear off!

Definitely no Beatles on there, but a great track nonetheless! We'll be playing this song as part of our tribute to Tony Sheridan at Beatlesday Mons in Belgium on 12 October 2013!

@Chris Brown Absolutely. I was there - I saw him sing this several times. The Beatles left in November 1962, when I/we arrived. This group was still called the Beat brothers, but no one from the Beatles was in the group, for the simple reason that they were no longer in Hamburg. Actually you can hear Tony say "A little bit of Roy Young there" just before the organ solo. Listen to the guitar solo near the end... pure Sheridan, brilliant ! He knew how to drive a group like very few singers do - the groove is phenomenal.
Chris Brown
This discography is completely wrong. There's an organ and though it sounds like Tony Sheridan none of his backing sounds like the Beat Brothers aka Beatles. The only Sheridan EP with the Beatles I know has Ain't She Sweet, Take Out Some Insurance and My Bonnie, on it.
