  18. @MamaLake "Twist and Shout" was actually first recorded for by a group called the Top Notes - although produced by the young Phil Spector, this version was somewhat disappointing:

    Bert Berns, a co-writer of the song, was present at the studio, watching how Spector more or less ruined his song, and it was only in 1962 that he got to produce his own version with the Isley Brothers.
