"white musicians"

Back when the Beatles were big in the sixties, a number of black scribblers/whiners claimed that they, the Beatles, owed their success to recording some black songs like "Twist And Shout" and some other obscure black songs.

TAS was the only cover I can remember that became a big hit for the Fab Four. They were already huge when they recorded it, and it wouldn't have made a dent in their popularity if they hadn't. Ditto for some of their other obscure black covers that never did anything.

Just another reason for black people to hate Evil Whitey...even if Evil Whitey was Evil Brit Whitey.

They do Twist & Shout real good, and also “i saw her standing there” i am not the biggest fan,but I thing the Beatle’s version is the best.
