When Freda Kelly, just a shy Liverpool teen, signed on to work for a local band with big dreams she had no idea she would soon hold the most coveted secretarial position in the world. While history observes that the Beatles were together for 10 years, Kelly served them for 11

“Were the people in the 60s going on about groups from 1914?”
They were about George M. Cohan! Even a century later Cohan’s music is extremely popular and several songs are known by most people. Go to YouTube and there are 15,600+ listings for George M. Cohan.
Ray Charles did a version of Alexander’s Ragtime Band (by Irving Berlin in 1911) in 1959. Al Jolson did a version in 1947, Nellie Lucher had done one in 1948, Johnnie mercer in 1945, and it was a hit too. Louis Armstrong did one in 1937, and Bessie Smith did one in 1927. All together, there were 6 version of it that were big hits.
So yes, there were people who did old songs that were hits in the 50s.
i thought the german version was “you must give me your hand, now!”
When you are old you sometimes forget to zip up your fly.
When you are older yet, you sometimes forget to zip it down...
Check this video clip from 1959...

I thought it was "I have ways to make you give me your hand."
Eight Days a Week doesn't do that for you??
Why, yes, he was at Woodstock.
1914? Dude, why go back so far! By 1969 people weren’t listening to the stuff from 1959. Careers of such people as Roy Orbison, Rick Nelson, the Everly Brothers, Fats Domino, Little Richard, even Bob Dylan’s first employer Bobby Vee were in the toilet. Jerry Lee Lewis was doing country.
In Saudi Arabia they have it as: “I will have to hold your hand (after I remove it)” whooooo ahhhhh
Pete Best did not play on that song.
i think yours is the acoustic version.
Well shoot. I’d go with one of her girlfriends too!
Woodstock was in 1969. One of the songs played was written in 1779. Know which one?
I like their music but I can be objective about them because I don't possess the heart of a teenage girl.
While they did play a few rock tunes, they were essentially a pop music band. Some of their music was good and some of it second rate, but the hysteria they engendered boosted their esteem in the eyes of their fans, and add to that the fact that their music was the sound track to the lives of adolescent baby boomers, and you can understand why so many people of a certain generation consider them to be great. It's a very personal feeling for those people and you will not dissuade them.
That being said, they were indeed accomplished musicians, having honed their craft over thousands of hours of playing together.
What really stood out about them was the songwriting team of Lennon/McCartney. They were the top pop music song writing team of the era. Any professional songwriter will acknowledge that fact.

“Looking like you do”
So....you’re the one that’s been peeking in the windows. I was kind of hoping it was that divorced lady from down the block. I don’t usually cook in the nude like that. I backed up too close to the stove and burned my buns.
Correct! There is another song from Woodstock written in 1909. Sung by Joan Baez. And still another song played by Jimi Hendrix written about 1814. The point being that some music does last for 50 years and longer. The idea that music from the 1960s is used up and gone forever is simply foolish thinking.
