THE EARLY DAYS OF ROCK 'N' ROLL FANGIRLING -- THE EARLY LIVERPOOL YEARS.
PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on a lunchtime audience of teenage girls at the Cavern Club in Liverpool, UK, c. December 1963, watching their favorite rock 'n' roll band, THE BEATLES.
"At The Cavern we were with the fans. They'd be at the door as we went in at lunchtime and they'd say, "Hey, John will you sing "Sweet Little Sixteen" for Margie and Pam?" on that level. That's the kind of thing I miss."
-- JOHN LENNON on the band's early days at the Cavern Club
"Girls kept their rollers in and jeans for the first groups. Then when it got near the time for the Beatles to come on, if there was a gang of four, say, they would go off in turns to the ladies with their little cases to get changed and made up. When THE BEATLES came on the look as if they’d just arrived."
-- MAUREEN COX (later Maureen Starkey) on THE BEATLES Cavern Club days

The Beatles' last concert at The Cavern. On August 3, 1963 they played at the legendary club for the last time. The popularity of the Beatles was far above the club🎍🪷🌵
That day, four boys performed for the last time at their house. They gave one last show in the legendary club where they were born in their city and where they performed almost 300 times since 1961🌺🌿🌸
George Harrison, the mystic… FB🍃🌷🌱

LECTURE 5: INFLUENCES (PART 2): Since the days of The Quarrymen, the blokes in the band loved Carl Perkins. But they really began playing “Matchbox” with regularity in 1961, when the band was known as The Beatles.  They performed it countless times in their Hamburg days and their concerts at the Cavern in Liverpool. This July 30, 1963 version is from the magnificent LIVE AT THE BBC two-CD set, released in 1994. Ringo performs lead vocals on this version.

Cilla Black - Anyone Who Had A Heart
Tumblr media
Song of the Day - “Anyone Who Had A Heart”
60 Years Ago Today, Cilla Black, the coatroom attendant at Liverpool’s now-famous Cavern Club, had her single, “Anyone Who Had A Heart” hit #1 on the British charts. This was Cilla Black’s first hit, and at 60 years and counting, this track is still the biggest selling single by a British female singer. Cilla Black was truly the girl next-door and was beloved by everybody who crossed her path. A protege of the Beatles, who were the regular band at the Cavern Club, Cilla worked her way out of the coatroom and got signed by Brian Epstein. George Martin produced her. This song was written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David for Dionne Warwick, and her version had already been released when Cilla made hers. Shirley Bassey had been the chosen one for the British version, but Bacharach wanted Cilla. He really felt her voice was right, and he felt that her being a Liverpool girl in that moment was a thing, saying, “It was late in 1963 and Liverpool was taking over popular music with some great songs and great people. There was an awareness that things would never be quite the same again—and Cilla Black was part of that." While Dionne’s version was a US hit, Black’s rendition found greater success in the UK, where it remained at the top of the chart for three weeks. This was and remains a sore subject for Dionne. Cilla would go on to have a long career and to capture the hearts of the British people. She was truly a favorite daughter. And maybe Britain’s best local-girl-makes-it-big story

“It was very warm in the Cavern that night, though outside a wild December gale was blowing over the Mersey, and we left our coats with a chirpy cloakroom attendant with bright orange hair. George [Martin], who responds quickly to a feminine smile, was impressed enough to murmur to me: 'Pretty girl, Brian,' and I agreed. Her name was Priscilla and given second sight, we would all have been interested to know that eighteen months later that lively cloakroom girl was to emerge as Britain's leading girl singer with a season at the London Palladium and two magnificent discs far and away at the head of the record charts - 'Anyone Who Had a Heart' and You're My World'.
The girl, of course, was Cilla Black, then named Priscilla White. My lovely Cilla - one of the very great stars of the future - the most photographed girl in England, the singer everyone loves and admires but whom no one envies because of her utter simplicity.
Cilla was one of the girls who was always around the Cavern. She was a singer, I knew, but I had no idea that she took music seriously - practically everyone in and around the Cavern was some sort of singer or guitarist - and though I liked Cilla I had no ideas of management until midway through 1963.
I first heard her sing with the Beatles in Birkenhead but had not been greatly impressed because the acoustics had been wrong for her voice, but the next occasion was early one morning in the Blue Angel Club in Liverpool.
She looked, as always, magnificent - a slender graceful creature with the ability to shed her mood of dignified repose if she were singing a fast number. I watched her move and I watched her stand and I half closed my eyes and imagined her on a vast stage with the right lighting.
I was convinced she could become a wonderful artiste.”
- Brian Epstein, A Cellarful Of Noise

George Harrison with fans at NEMS in Liverpool, and rehearsing at the Cavern on February 19, 1963; photos by Michael Ward/Getty Images.
“On the evening session [on February 23, 1962] at the Cavern, people were queuing just after midnight for the show the next day. George Harrison came in his Ford Anglia and asked them how long they had been waiting. He knew they would be out in the elements all night, and he went to the Pier Head and brought back twenty-five steak-and-kidney pies.” - Joey Shields, The Beatles in Liverpool (2012)
“George was one on his own though. I remember one night there were a couple of girls who wanted to come into the club but they didn’t have enough money.
They asked me but I told them I just couldn’t help — if I helped them out I’d have to do it for thousands of them. Just then George came up and asked what the problem was. When I told him he put a pound in my hand and asked me to give it to the girls without telling them where it had come from. They realized of course and started crying because they were so pleased.” - Pat Delaney (Cavern doorman), Yes magazine (Yeah! for this issue), November 1995
“I was there in those early Cavern days when you would talk to us at the lunch-hour sessions. You were a gentleman then and have remained one throughout your life. God Bless you George for the pleasure and happiness you brought to the lives of us 60's Liverpool kids.” - Sue Anderson, Your Tributes, BBC, November 30, 2001
“The world will not be the same without him in it. He was my special Beatle and I had the privilege of meeting them all several times in my teens. He was a lovely, gentle, unassuming man and if the world was full of people like him it would be a safe and peaceful place. God Bless until we meet in eternity. Love to his family.” - Pauleen F. (UK), Your Tributes, BBC, November 30, 2001 (x)
