50 years ago today...

From Bob Dearborn's The Olde Disc Jockey's Almanac...

January 22, 1963…At the Atlantic Studios in New York City, the Drifters recorded "On Broadway," with Phil Spector playing the guitar solo.

January 22, 1963…At Radio Recorders in West Hollywood, Elvis Presley recorded six songs for his movie "Fun in Acapulco," including "Bossa Nova Baby."

January 22, 1963…George Martin produced Gerry & the Pacemakers' "How Do You Do It" at their first recording session.

I like all three of those songs (recorded before I was born), but this one is probably my favorite. This is the Beatles version of the Gerry & the Pacemaker's song...
