Twist and Shout was originally recorded by the Top Notes in 1961, but became famous after the Isley Brothers version, and later by the Beatles version recorded in 1963, which is widely known. The Beatles’ version was recorded in a single take, despite John Lennon struggling with a cold, adding a raw, distinctive edge to the vocal.
