In late 1963, following JFK's assassination, the Brothers Four began looking at more serious material and were presented with some Bob Dylan demos. Among his songs the group chose to record was Mr. Tambourine Man. Bob Dylan has say over who first releases one of his songs and, since he didn't care for the Brothers Four's arrangement, it wasn't immediately issued. It appeared on their The Honey Wind Blows album following the Byrds' hit and Bob Dylan's own version. 04 Byrds “All I Really Want To Do” #40/1965 A-side of I’ll Feel A Whole Lot Better. 04A Cher “All I Really Want To Do” #15/1965 Cher’s first solo hit single. 04B Bob Dylan “All I Really Want To Do” #43-Albums/ From Another Side Of Bob Dylan. 1964 05 Byrds “I’ll Feel A Whole Lot Better” #103/1965 B-side of All I Really Want To Do.

  • A Review of Famous Songs of the Past 'Fascinating Facts' July 2020
    A Review of Famous Songs of the Past ‘Fascinating Facts’ July 2020 Track 1 It’s Now Or Never A song recorded by Elvis Presley in 1960. The melody of the song is adapted from the Italian 'O Sole Mio", but the inspiration for it came from the song, "There's No Tomorrow" recorded by U.S. singer, Tony Martin, in 1949. In the late 1950s, while stationed in Germany with the U.S. Army, Presley heard Martin's recording. He told his music publisher about the song. He found songwriters, Schroeder and Gold, who wrote the lyrics in half an hour. Selling more than 20 million records, the song became number one in countries all around the world and was Presley's best selling single ever and it was written in half an hour! Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) was one of the most popular American singers of the 20th century. A cultural icon, he is commonly known by the single name Elvis. He is often referred to as the "King of Rock and Roll" or simply "the King". Born in Tupelo, Mississippi, Presley moved to Memphis, Tennessee, with his family at the age of 13. He began his career there in 1954, working with Sun Records owner Sam Phillips, who wanted to bring the sound of African American music to a wider audience. His energized interpretations of songs, many from African American sources, and his uninhibited performance style made him enormously popular—and controversial. In November 1956, he made his film debut in Love Me Tender.
