Garry and the boys brilliant at The Lowry Salford Quays last night. Looking forward to The Christians Live at Sale Waterside and Liverpool Mountford Hall in June 2024!*!🥰

AWESOME.

Mr Moonlight is by far the worst song done by Lennon...don't get it why he chose that song

Excellent overview of the Beatles' black musical influences, giving a great insight into not only their cover versions but in their original music that carried that influence (All I've Got To Do, I Call Your Name, Drive My Car, Got To Get You Into My Life, it goes on and on). Beautiful job of weaving the original recordings into the discussion too!

Still good , followed them for years

a thoroughly amazing discussion, bravo!

fascinating stuff! thank you all

A lovely fantastic voice. Love that. X x

where’s the rest? 5 min video of y’all introduction talking …

I've never listened to music like you've played x

Both parts were excellent and I can't believe I didn't see this a year ago when it first aired. One superb black Beatles cover that Mark, Peter and Paul didn't mention is Wilson Pickett's version of Hey Jude with a very young Duane Allman on guitar. Outstanding.

This is superb from THE authority.

Wonderful

Amazing 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 ❤

Black (and plenty of white) music may have influenced The Beatles, but The Beatles moved way beyond any of those acts with their creativity and ground-breaking methods.

These songs are snap-shot's,,,, NO FULL FILM'S,,,, of my life, child-hood, Old friends, America in the 1960's, & 70's, Parents, even my Old Pet's, fears, anguish, Loves, innocence. You get the picture.

He was one of the great songwriters of the 20th Century, and one-third of the writing team that helped bring fame to Motown. We are sad to report the passing of the great Lamont Dozier at age 81. His passing was reported on social media by his son, Lamont Dozier, Jr, and comes just a little over a year after the death of his wife and business partner, Barbara Dozier. Died on August 8, 2022 (aged 81) near Scottsdale, Arizona. Dozier was an inductee in both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriter's Hall of Fame. As part of the iconic songwriting team of Holland-Dozier-Holland, he wrote over fifty #1 hits for such artists as the Supremes, The Isley Brothers, the Four Tops, Marvin Gaye and many others. The smashes included "Baby I Need Your Loving" and “Reach Out I’ll Be There” by the Four Tops, "Baby Love," “Where Did Our Love Go” and “You Can’t Hurry Love” by The Supremes, “How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You) by Marvin Gaye and many more. (Soul Tracks)

Remarkable. Our British band.

Jerry Lee Lewis was a huge influence

Love ❤❤❤

How good were these guys

Been a fan of them for over thirty years, still sounding great after all these years

I like too hear Lamont talk about.his records.babies.he.s all.ways so happy.just light up.when he's talking about his hit songs.pro .daddy.

They sound great. The Only reason its cause they dont have AKIA with that Raspy high voice anymore which i agree is really needed there to have that same old raw Sound they use to have. 💯🔥

AFN (American Forces Network) radio station was clear in Liverpool, so not just the BBC and Radio Luxembourg. The huge USAF Burtonwood air base was nearby. They played US records, but only US mainstream.

Where can I find these songs?

Loved them since December 2015!!!! Wish they were still all 5, wish they’d cover *NSYNC more and not just their hits but all NSYNC songs

these guys ROCK!

bugger i read black magic b4 clicking. oh well still a interesting vid

Most of the Beatles covers of black artists are so second rate compared to originals. The Beatles had no soul or groove. It’s wonderful that they covered and paid homage to these great artists who were ripped off and forgotten. But honestly the Beatles when it came to soul or groove. They bloody had zero soul or groove. Twist n shout and devil in her heart or you really got a hold on me are bloody awful compared to the originals fact fact fact

Good conversation. Outstanding subject. Thanks for this Marc Lewisohns ego is unsurpassed. He has started to believe he is almost as important as Beatles Still amazing insight

Brilliant thanks guys for a most insightful look into a fascinating subject..

Brilliant angle on The Beatles and very interesting to hear. One of the greatest aspects of The Beatles is their honesty with their influences and promotion of them, and the same with The Rolling Stones. Whilst Led Zeppelin were exactly the opposite and took credit for songs which were written by other artists e.g. Whole Lotta Love, Dazed & Confused, Gallows Pole, etc., etc., etc.. And much as I admire Led Zeppelin as musicians, I feel this aspect of their career diminishes their overall legacy.

LET US FREE ALL BLACKS WITH FREE PLANE TICKETS BACK TO THEIR HOMELAND IN AFRICA!!!!

Thanks for uploading! If you have a second, I recorded a cover of 'True Colors'. As a fellow music lover, I'd love if you'd check it out. It's on my page. Hope you like it. Don't go too hard on me :)

Superb, thank you so much for both parts.

Not Just the fabs though...all the Liverpool groups covered "Boys". Danny

The influence of black music on The Beatles is absolute as it is over anyone who plays Rock & Roll because it is a black art form... so is most of modern Western music.

What does 'black Music' actually mean? Sounds like- way to segregate-. I mean there is no such thing as 'white music'?

M’y oh my this is so good!!!!!

Great pair of videos. Tremendous interview. Subject matter and thoroughness.

Brilliant, brilliant 2Part Set , Essential listening , thanks to all concerned X

Great interview all around. Stevie Wonder "Try to see things my way". Quite an improvement! Very informative video. Loved the Mark Lewisohn "Tune In" audio book!!!

The Beatles got just about everything right. As a combo they had perfect the balance of creativity, good taste and critical restraint. In Brian Epstein, they had right manager, honest, caring and visionary. In George Martin, they met the perfect producer, someone who not only matched their creativity but could lend experience. And in Mark Lewisohn they have the perfect biographer, honest, insightful and a true story teller. I’ve read many biographies but nothing even comes close to “Tune in”, it is unsurpassable. A bit like its subject. Loved the podcast fellahs, more of the same, please.

Great sounds, great voices. Got out there and did it. Yessss!

Marvellous storytelling guest.

All of these questions... Why is nobody asking McCartney while he's still alive? ML is too young to have been there, even as a knowledgeable author on the subject. "I don't know" is honest enough. 👍 Fab and, also, gear. Love the Scouse terraced houses...and all those original tracks. +1 is not enough.

Great to watch this Thanks! I have a theory about the covers on “Beatles for Sale” By the time they did that in 1964, through the floodgates they burst open, UK bands like The Stones, The Animals, The Yardbirds and Them were charting with great rocked up blues covers, Chuck Berry and Buddy Holly songs It’s like The Beatles were answering that trend...

More than Justin Bieber, there’s Boyz II Men, Backstreet Boys, B.o.B, DJ Ironik and the list goes on
