Hello, this is the playlist from The Beatles and Beyond on 97.5 CIOE-FM for August 16th
The perfect Beatles song for a summer gathering, from their final studio LP, Abbey Road, Come Together.
SONGS
Come Together - The Beatles
Ob-La Di, Ob-la Da - Marmalade
After "Come Together" we heard Ob-La Di, Ob-la Da done here by Marmalade. Their version was the hit single as the Beatles track from the White album was never released as a single in the UK. Marmalade's tune topped the UK charts.
One of the big groups of the British invasion but not from Liverpool, were the Zombies. Here is their Time of the Season. It is followed by a Motown stalwart covering the Beatles' We can work it out from, no longer Little, Stevie wonder.
SONGS
Time of the season - the Zombies
We can work it out - Stevie wonder
The first Beatles' film was A Hard Day's Night and it was a really good depiction of the crazy times they were going through. Here is the movie's title song plus others from the soundtrack, I should have known better and If I Fell.
SONGS
Hard Day's Night - The Beatles
I should have known better - The Beatles
If I Fell - The Beatles
A British singer who had many US hits, remained a TV and Broadway celebrity for decades, right up to this century, is Petula Clark. This is Pet's I Know a Place. An American Duo who truly embodied the spirit of the 1960's and continued into the late part of the C20th as this duo, then as solo artists were - Sonny & Cher. After Pet Clark is the iconic 1960's hit, I Got You, Babe.
SONGS
I Know a Place - Pet Clark
I Got You, Babe - Sonny & Cher
Can't Buy Me Love - - Beatles
Right after the Break we heard the Beatles with Can't Buy Me Love - which is also from the Hard Days Night movie. Coming up are 2 more tunes from the soundtrack album, I'll Cry Instead and Things We Said Today. I really like this soundtrack LP it has so many lovely simple pop song melodies. The Boys at their early days' best. The Hard Day's Night tunes are followed by Am I that Easy to Forget from my fellow Anglo-Indian, Englebert Humperdinck. Real name Arnold Gerry Dorsey who born in Madras.
SONGS
I'll Cry Instead - - Beatles
Things we said today - - Beatles
Am I that Easy to Forget - Englebert Humperdinck
Now, 2 groups that had major hits with the British invasion were Edison Lighthouse mostly a studio-group, with Love Grows and Build Me Up (Buttercup) from The Foundations.

The second Beatles film was called Help! Here is the title song plus You Like Me Too Much, also from the soundtrack.
SONGS
Help! - - The Beatles
You Like Me Too Much - - The Beatles
The next song is the most covered tune in recording history, but was also included in the Help soundtrack. McCartney's beautiful Yesterday.
SONGS
Yesterday - - The Beatles
For the Millennials listening to this show, it may come as a surprise that American Idol, or America's Got Talent are nothing new in concept. From the days of radio, programmers have had talent shows from the earliest days of mass communications. For us in London in the 60's it was a show called Opportunity knocks. The world famous petite model Twiggy, saw welsh singer Mary Hopkins winning the British ITV 's talent show, Opportunity Knocks and she telephoned Paul McCartney and recommended her. She became one of the first artists to record on The Beatles' Apple record label.This is her first big hit -- Those were the Days. It produced by Paul McCartney.
Listen in again next week to the Beatles and Beyond with Michael Lavalette on 97.5 CIOE.
SONGS
Those were the Days - Mary Hopkins
