Revisit The Beatles covering Elvis Presley
Int he summer of 1963, The Beatles arrive at the BBC Paris Studio in London armed with a very special plan to add their own spin on an Elvis Presley classic.
Recording material with producer Terry Henebery for the eighth edition of the Pop Go The Beatles radio show, the four lads from Liverpool would record ‘I’m Gonna Sit Right Down And Cry (Over You)’, one of three Elvis songs they put to tape that day.
While Ringo Starr has always professed his distaste for drum solos, he would step up to the mark for The Beatle’s rockabilly version of the song which remained unreleased until 1994 when it was included on the Live at the BBC album.
