More YouTube treasures. Like most teenagers in the 1950s, the future Beatles were crazy for Rock 'n Roll, especially Elvis, Buddy Holly, Little Richard, Carl Perkins and Chuck Berry; unlike most teenagers, they not only later had the chance to play and record cover versions of the songs they'd loved but to meet their idols and in some cases befriend them. (This worked out better in some cases than others.) Despite the sometimes quite different directions their own music took, they also never stopped, the surviving ones to this day, playing those 50s hits.

( I'd love to hear that rock'n roll music... )
