Misery – (The Beatles’ cover) - Jagdish
My cover of this very short (sub 2-minute) and fast paced song….both voices mine… ‘Misery’ is a song performed by The Beatles on their album Please Please Me. It was co-written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney. According to Lennon, ‘It was kind of a John song more than a Paul song, but it was written together.’ The Beatles composed the song specially for Helen Shapiro on the suggestion of her artist and repertoire manager Norrie Paramor. ‘Misery’ was started backstage before The Beatles' performance at the King's Hall, Stoke-on-Trent, on 26 January 1963, and later completed at Paul McCartney's Forthlin Road home. At the time, McCartney commented: "We've called it 'Misery', but it isn't as slow as it sounds, it moves along at quite a pace, and we think Helen will make a pretty good job of it." But Paramor considered it unsuitable and so British singer and entertainer Kenny Lynch recorded it instead, thus becoming the first artist to cover a Lennon- McCartney composition. When the Beatles needed original material for their Please Please Me LP they recorded the song themselves, giving its treatment, according to writer Ian MacDonald, "a droll portrait of adolescent self-pity". The Beatles recorded ‘Misery’ on 11 February 1963 in a marathon session of 11 takes. (Source: Wikipedia).
