Free Music Notes for John Lennon's Jukebox

Free Music Review: Perhaps the Beatles Inspiration?
Hit: 5 Stars

Purports to be the original songs discovered in John Lennon's small personal 45 RPM Jukebox, found with his own hand-written labels. Authentic or not, it's great rock music. The Beatles, even before they were Beatles, growing up, loved to listen to American Rock and Pop, especially R&B. Collected every American record they could get their hands on.

Listen to these 50's and 60's oldies and go back to the early Beatles and see where Lennon and McCartney got their ideas and energy! Great to hear these old songs, cleaned up and remixed to show their interior lines.Some were quite popular, to the point of being banal, in their time, others were relatively obscure.

I am particularly attracted to the slowed-down Buddy Holly's "Slippin and Slidin", Tommy Tucker's "Hi Heel Sneakers", and Barrett Strong's funky version of "Money" (That's What I Want).

Where else can you get all these great songs together? With good mixes?

And by the way, "plagarism" mean copying the works of another and calling them your own. The Beatles never "plagarized" anything. They did cover songs by other artists, with attribution, as do most all real artists. Rock music today would be much better if new musicians learned play by covering the music of the masters before trying to make their own "statement".
