Ebb Tide (lyrics here) had been #5 in the US Hot Hundred in the spring of '65. In the UK, the single performed poorly, but fared considerably better in The Fab Forty than in the Nationals, barely scraping into the Top Fifty. The Righteous Brothers were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in March 2003. In November of the same year, Bobby Hatfield died, aged 63. A beautiful piece of computer art called Ebb Tide and dedicated to Bobby's memory, is here.

It has been a hard day's night and Peter Sellers has been working like a dog to sound like Richard III. He performed this mock-Shakespearean version of the Beatles' song on a Granada TV Music of Lennon & McCartney special. Help was the single's B-side and a Hard Day's Night EP was released with a cover spoofing that of the Beatles album from the film. The 2 other Fab Four tracks on the EP are She Loves You and Can't Buy Me Love. |
