4/14 - A few years ago a portable jukebox was discovered which belonged to John Lennon in the 1960s. The jukebox conntained a tracklist of 40 records - soul, R&B and Rock 'n' Roll - written in Lennon's own handwriting. These are the songs which shaped his musical education and they reveal many of the original sources of inspiration for his later songwriting.

  • richard barrett was an amazing singer songwriter. he's no longer with us, but he deserves much more recognition than he has gotten.

  • This isn't about black or white, it's about truth or lies. Leiber/Stoller like Elvis Presley wouldn't take a song unless they could have their names on the copywrite. Those two stole more song than they wrote.

    The 'sound' they engineered doesn't give them copywrite credit. George Martin engineered most of the Beatles songs, when have you ever seen a Lennon/McCartney & Martin copywrite.

  • Barrett was one of the worst human beings on the planet.

  • Love it!!!!

  • @jeminijem1 On which songs is Presley credited as composer? What I heard is that when he found out that he'd been co-credited on an early tune he was furious and had it removed. Elvis had integrity. He was not a cheat. Unfortunately, "Colonel" Parker was a different story.

  • @jeminijem1 It's copyRIGHT, moron.

  • This son buries "What'd I Say" I love Ray Charles but Ritchie's spin on this baseline trumps What'd I Say.

  • @IsaacIsaiahMusic It already is.

    'Tic Toc' be 'Ke' 'Dollar Sign' 'ha' is a song about how fun it is to be a drunken w*ore.

  • "Sh"om other guy.

  • I loved Richie Barrett singing 'SUMMER'S LOVE". It was the greatest slow ballard. Somebody post it PLEASE.

    Summer is here, I need you so, we'll be together once more I know...........

  • I love both versions of this song. Barrett's bluesy/soul version, and The Beatles straight rock version. The Beatles had a great reverence for Black American Blues music, and I think this one is my favorite. Amazing how one song with the same chord progressions can be interpreted so differently and maintain the same energy.

  • Barrett was a great lead singer of a NYC doo wop group, the Valentines, who 1st sang with them in 1953.
