Continuamos con una edición más de “ANGLO 60’S”, y dedicada a los Beatles y los Rolling Stones. Y en esta ocasión, tendremos dos temas, cuyas versiones originales son de la segunda mitad de la década del 50 y coincidentemente, ambas corresponden al año 1957 y que fueran grabados en la primera época de estas dos legendarias bandas británicas.
1.- ROCK AND ROLL MUSIC (The Beatles).- Esta canción fue escrita y grabada originalmente por Chuck Berry, que fue un éxito en 1957 y ha sido versionado por muchos artistas. Y una de las versiones más conocidas fue la que hicieron los Beatles. Precisamente ellos tocaban esta canción en muchos de sus primeros shows en Hamburgo y también la tocaron en el programa de la BBC, “Pop Go The Beatles”. A finales de 1964, cansados de no parar de hacer tours y shows y de grabar, y estando con poco material original, decidieron grabar algunas de sus antiguas canciones de rock y rhythm and blues favoritas para llenar el álbum “BEATLES FOR SALE”. Dentro de estos temas, estaba el clásico de Chuck Berry, “Rock And Roll Music”.
Para esta versión, la voz principal estuvo a cargo de John Lennon y a diferencia de la versión original, Lennon la cantaba de una manera tan alta y dinámica como su voz le pemitía. En USA, estuvo incluida en el album “BEATLES ‘65” y en algunos países fue lanzada como single, llegando al Nº 1 en Finlandia, Noruega, Holanda y Australia. Y algo con lo que siempre asocio a esta canción, son los dibujitos animados de los Beatles, que recuerdo que pasaban los sábados en las tardes por canal 5. Cada vez que por cualquier motivo me acuerdo de esta serie de dibujos animados, lo primero que se me viene a la mente es esta canción y cuando John baila en la parte de "Don't care to hear 'em play a tango, I'm in no mood to take a mambo ...". Y aquí lo recordamos en este segmento en el blog.


Just let me hear some of that rock and roll music,
Any old way you choose it.
It's got a back beat, you can't blues it,
Any old time you use it.
It's gotta be rock roll music,
If you wanna dance with me.
If you wanna dance with me.
I've got no kick against modern jazz,
Unless they try to play it too darn fast.
And lose the beauty of the melody,
Until they sound just like a symphony.
That's why I go for that rock and roll music,
Any old way you choose it.
It's got a back beat, you can't blues it,
Any old time you use it.
It's gotta be rock and roll music,
If you wanna dance with me.
If you wanna dance with me.
I took my love on over 'cross the tracks,
So she can hear my man awail a sax.
I must admit they have a rockin' band,
Man, they were blowin' like a hurricane.
That's why I go for that rock and roll music,
Any old way you choose it.
It's got a back beat, you can't blues it,
Any old time you use it.
It's gotta be rock and roll music,
If you wanna dance with me.
If you wanna dance with me.
Way down South they had a jubilee,
Those Georgia folks they had a jamboree.
They're drinkin' home brew from a wooden cup,
The folks all dancin' got all shook up.
And started playin' that rock and roll music,
Any old time you use it.
It's got a back beat, you can't blues it,
Any old time you use it.
It's gotta be rock and roll music,
If you wanna dance with me.
If you wanna dance with me.
Don't care to hear 'em play a tango,
I'm in no mood to take a mambo.
It's way too early for a congo,
So keep rockin' that piano.
That's why I go for that rock and roll music,
Any old time you use it.
It's got a back beat, you can't blues it,
Any old time you use it.
It's gotta be rock and roll music,
If you wanna dance with me.
If you wanna dance with me
Any old way you choose it.
It's got a back beat, you can't blues it,
Any old time you use it.
It's gotta be rock roll music,
If you wanna dance with me.
If you wanna dance with me.
I've got no kick against modern jazz,
Unless they try to play it too darn fast.
And lose the beauty of the melody,
Until they sound just like a symphony.
That's why I go for that rock and roll music,
Any old way you choose it.
It's got a back beat, you can't blues it,
Any old time you use it.
It's gotta be rock and roll music,
If you wanna dance with me.
If you wanna dance with me.
I took my love on over 'cross the tracks,
So she can hear my man awail a sax.
I must admit they have a rockin' band,
Man, they were blowin' like a hurricane.
That's why I go for that rock and roll music,
Any old way you choose it.
It's got a back beat, you can't blues it,
Any old time you use it.
It's gotta be rock and roll music,
If you wanna dance with me.
If you wanna dance with me.
Way down South they had a jubilee,
Those Georgia folks they had a jamboree.
They're drinkin' home brew from a wooden cup,
The folks all dancin' got all shook up.
And started playin' that rock and roll music,
Any old time you use it.
It's got a back beat, you can't blues it,
Any old time you use it.
It's gotta be rock and roll music,
If you wanna dance with me.
If you wanna dance with me.
Don't care to hear 'em play a tango,
I'm in no mood to take a mambo.

So keep rockin' that piano.
That's why I go for that rock and roll music,

It's got a back beat, you can't blues it,
Any old time you use it.
It's gotta be rock and roll music,
If you wanna dance with me.
If you wanna dance with me


I'm gonna tell you how it's gonna be
You're gonna give your love to me
I'm gonna love you night and day
Well love is love and not fade away
Well love is love and not fade away
My love bigger than a Cadillac
I try to show it and you're drivin' me back
Your love for me has got to be real
For you to know just how I feel
Love is real and not fade away
Well love is real and not fade away
I'm gonna tell you how it's gonna be
You're gonna give your love to me
Love to last more than one day
Well love is love and not fade away
Well love is love and not fade away
Well love is love and not fade away
Love, love is love and not fade away
Not fade away
Not fade away
