The Beatles: Lennon & McCartney - 60 Greatest Hits: Violin Solo: Instrumental

50th Anniversary Edition-Love Me Do was the first single to be released by The Beatles on October 5 1962 backed with PS I Love You on EMI?s Parlophone label. Though historically important as the début record by the world?s greatest ever pop group it was by no stretch of the imagination a portent of what was to come reaching only as high as number 17 in the Record Retailer?s Top 50 charts on December 27. When Beatlemania exploded in the US however it became their fourth No. 1 there in May 1964.Curiously the song was recorded by The Beatles on three separate occasions with three different percussionists; firstly on June 6 1962 atan EMI session with original drummer Pete Best; secondly on September 4 with the newly-recruited Ringo Starr; and finally on September 11 with session drummer Andy White.For reasons that have never been fully explained it was the version featuring Ringo that appeared on all UK single releases of Love Me Do up until its original deletion in 1968. The Beatles? 1963 debut album Please Please Me however featured the Andy White recording which became the American hit in 1964 and other worldwide territories.?When re-issued in 1976 EMI (UK) used the White take because the original Ringo master had gone AWOL. The 20th anniversary 12? single in 1982 contained both versions but the ?Ringo version? had to be dubbed from the original single supplied by a Beatles collector and all issues since have come from the same source. The Pete Best version was made available on Anthology 1.Love Me Do was largely a McCartney composition written in the 1958 with Lennon contributing the bridge in 1962. 'Love Me Do was our greatest philosophical song ? said Paul in 1972 possibly tongue in cheek. ?During the recordings all I can remember is being terrified out of my wits and quaking in my boots. I can still hear it on my vocal.'

The Piano is unquestionably a timeless instrument that has never, and will never go out of fashion in popular music. The beauty of the keys, when married with the right singer or songwriter, has the power to create truly momentous music, and Songs Of The Piano Stars, with its 24 hit songs from the past and present, will let you learn to play a selection of perfect Piano-led tunes.Drawing from the wealth of popular tunes from the past sixty years that have included a pretty Piano part or two, Songs Of The Piano Stars presents a massive range of artists and their songs that are well-loved and will remain so for years to come. From The Beatles and Carole King to Alicia Keys and the Ben Folds Five, the variety on offer here is testament to the persistence of the Piano in popular music. From beautiful ballads like All Of Me by John Legend, Don't Explain by Nina Simone and Imagine by John Lennon to huge pop hits like Carly Simon's You're So Vain and Elton John's classic Tiny Dancer, these songs, arranged for Piano and Voice with full lyrics and Guitar chord boxes, will allow you to learn and perform them accurately and beautifully. There are some old classics included, such as the legendary Tom Waits' Come On Up To The House and Randy Newman's I Love To See You Smile, and these are put alongside newer tunes like Brave by Sara Bareilles and Vanessa Carlton's A Thousand Miles.These songs have been expertly-selected and engraved to reflect the most-requested songs by Piano singer-songwriters from over the years. With the success of the electric Guitar and the advent of rock music, the Piano-led performer faded away somewhat, but the underlying love of composers and songwriters of creating music at the Piano never subsided. This Piano sheet music songbook features the greatest songwriters who have always championed the indomitable ivories throughout the changing musical landscape. Whether they sculpted a career out of their Piano songwriting skills in the '60s or '70s, or they continue to integrate the Piano into their modern pop songs, Songs Of The Piano Stars is full of fantastic Piano tunes that will sound really great as part of your repertoire or in a performance. Music history has shown us that the Piano is here to stay, so open this songbook to your favourite song and play! / Voix Et Piano
