Beatles - Some Other Guy (Cavern Club, 1962) [HD]

"Some Other Guy" is a rock 'n roll song, written by Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller and Richard Barrett. It was first released by Barrett as a single in 1962, with a backing band featuring an electric piano, an unusual sound in pop music at the time.
The song was recorded by The Beatles during a live BBC radio session and included on the album, Live at the BBC. The song is especially popular in Beatles lore, being featured in the only known existing film with synchronized sound showing the Beatles performing live at the famous Cavern Club. The crude, grainy footage features John Lennon and Paul McCartney singing the song's melody in unison on Wednesday August 22, 1962. It is also the first film of Ringo Starr as the Beatles drummer, Pete Best having been discharged the week before. At the end of the song you can hear someone in the audience screaming "We want Pete!"

The song was very popular in Liverpool's Merseybeat scene. Both the original and the version by fellow Merseybeaters The Big Three ("Some Other Guy" b/w "Let True Love Begin", Decca F11614, March 63, UK#37) are part of John Lennon's jukebox. The song was covered by the pre-British Invasion group Johnny Kidd & the Pirates, and also by Led Zeppelin during a Whole Lotta Love Melody on September 4th, 1970, being found on the famous bootleg Live On Blueberry Hill. Both sides of the single were covered by The Searchers.

The Legend for the ages !...

In an interview Leiber & Stoller couldn't even remember they supposedly wrote the song. The song sounds more like a Barrett song. He had already written some classic songs already and was no stranger to sucess.

Hard to believe that just three years later, they were known the world over.
