Arthur didn't like the Beatles' version of "Anna". He thought they were "little girl shit". He preferred the Stones' version of "You Better Move On".

Eegah!! said...: Arthur had one of the richest voices in the business, and "Anna" is a song I'd take to a desert island with me! What a great artiste to devote a month to, he deserves every second!; December 7, 2011 at 10:01 PM
Debbie D said...: Thanks, Eegah!! I agree. Nobody sings them like Arthur.; December 7, 2011 at 10:04 PM

Timmy said...: I absolutely DUG The Beatles version of "Anna". I mean how can you even pretend to say that Lennon's voice isn't 100% into the lyrics of that song. It's the single reason I got turned onto Arthur. After hearing The Beatles do "Anna", I searched out the original & then went on a quest to find out more about A.A.; December 9, 2011 at 12:19 PM
