"Hippy Hippy Shake" #24 4/4/1964 Bonus

A good ol' rock and roller straight outta Liverpool from April '64 by the Swinging Blue Jeans. It was originally done in 1959 by Chan Romero, who had contacted Ritchie Valens' manager after The Day The Music Died and asked if he'd like to sign another teen Latino rocker. It was Chan's only thing remotely approaching a hit, but it became a fixture on the early 60's English club scene. You may have heard of another group from Liverpool who did this early on, calling themselves the Beatles.
