FOR MANY, THE MOST INFLUENTIAL PERSON IN ROCK & ROLL WAS JOHN LENNON. THERE WAS NEVER A BETTER LEAD SINGER OR RYTHM GUITAR PLAYER. THE PERFECT EXAMPLE IS "TWIST & SHOUT", ANY SONG THE BEATLES COVERED BECAME THEIRS, FROM "TWIST & SHOUT" TO "PLEASE MR.POSTMAN", LENNON AND THE GROUP PUT THEIR STAMP ON A SONG AND IT WAS THEIRS FOREVER. WHILE WE HAVE ALL HEARD THE CLASSIC ORIGINAL VERSION OF "TWIST & SHOUT" ALMOST ANYONE WHO
YOU COULD ASK WHICH IS THE BEST VERSION WILL SAY THE BEATLES. JOHN'S LP "ROCK & ROLL" IS ONE OF THE BEST COVER VERSION LP'S MADE. IT WAS OVERSHADOWED BY THE LEGAL PROBLEMS THAT AROSE FROM IT'S RECORDING,BUT IT'S A VERY SOLID LP THAT STANDS THE TEST OF TIME. LENNON SINGING THE SONGS FROM HIS TEEN'S WAS A PRETTY EASY THING FOR HIM TO DO,BUT IT WAS ALSO PART OF THE MAN A BORN ROCK AND ROLL SINGER. MORE TO COME 12-1-06
