As noted in many references including Mark Lewisohn's The Beatles Recording Sessions, Lennon had a bad cold on the day of recording which had an adverse effect on his voice.We sell the ORIGINAL 1967 Psychodelic Beatles poster set, which was created by Richard Avedon in 1967. Music critic Ian MacDonald had a different view of Lennon's vocal delivery, saying it sounded like "a passionate youth grappling with a man's song". The Beatles' backup harmony vocals, in addition, were superb, and more effective. Lennon's vocal, however, added a tortured pain not present in Alexander's model, particularly when he wailed in his upper register at the conclusion of the bridges. Ringo Starr faithfully the unusual drum rhythm and hi-hat crunches. Unterberger praised the Beatles' version in his review: They recorded it once again on August 1, 1963, for the show broadcast on August 27. They recorded "Anna (Go to Him)" on June 17, 1963, for the BBC radio show Pop Go the Beatles. George Harrison played the distinctive phrase on guitar Floyd Cramer played it on piano for the original. The band recorded the song on February 11, 1963, in three takes Take 3 was the master. Vee Jay also released "Anna (Go to Him)" on the EP Souvenir of Their Visit: The Beatles in the US. The Beatles (January 10, 1964) and Capitol Records re-released it on The Early Beatles (March 22, 1965). In the U.S., Vee Jay Records released it on Introducing. The Beatles' version "Anna (Go to Him)"Ī personal favorite of John Lennon, it became part of the Beatles' early repertoire and was consequently recorded by them for their 1963 debut album, Please Please Me. In the episode, the song becomes an earworm for Al, who desperately wants to know the title. The song plays a prominent role in the Married.with Children episode "Oldies But Young 'Uns". ĭespite the title, throughout the song the lyric is "go with him" rather than "go to him". He praises the "gently swinging rhythm," the tough, syncopated drumming, and Alexander's vocal, particularly at the beginning of the refrain, suggesting that John Lennon may have learned to sing ballads like " In My Life" by listening to Alexander's performance. Ĭritic Dave Marsh rates Alexander's "Anna (Go to Him)" as one of the top 1001 singles of all time. And it was actually a small hit when it first came out in 1962, getting to #68 in the pop charts and #10 in the R&B listings.
Like several of Alexander's songs, it would come to be more famous in its cover version than through its original release. "Anna" was one of the great early soul ballads, even if its loping groove was closer to a mid-tempo song than a slow ballad.
