The Beatles - Act Naturally
Just for the greatness that is Starkey :) Plus *Ticket To Ride.

The Beatles - Act Naturally
The Beatles - Act Naturally Copyright - 1965 EMI Records Ltd. "Act Naturally" is a song written by Johnny Russell and Voni Morrison, originally recorded by Buck Owens, whose version reached number 1 on the Billboard Country Singles chart in 1963, his first chart-topper. In 2002, Shelly Fabian of About.com ranked the song number 169 on her list of the Top 500 Country Music Songs. The song has been covered by many other artists, including Loretta Lynn and The Beatles. The song Russell, originally from Oklahoma, was based in Fresno, California in the early 1960s. One night, some of his friends from Oklahoma planned to do a recording session in Los Angeles and asked him to join them. In order to do so, Russell had to break a date with his then-girlfriend. "When she asked me why I was going to L.A., I answered, 'They are going to put me in the movies and make a big star out of me.' We both laughed." Thus inspired, Russell quickly came up with a concept for a love song based around his comment. He wrote it that day, and tried to teach it to the singer he was helping in Los Angeles, but he was unable to learn it. Russell then wanted to record it himself, but his then-producer turned it down, claiming that songs about the movies weren't hit material. A full two years passed before anyone recorded "Act Naturally". "No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get anyone interested in it," Russell said. The Beatles' version The Beatles covered the song in 1965 on their album Help! (in the United Kingdom) and as the B-side of the "Yesterday" single in the U.S.. The Beatles' version is sung by Ringo Starr. Stephen Thomas Erlewine of All Music Guide called it "an ideal showcase for Ringo's amiable vocals." They performed the song during an The Ed Sullivan Show appearance which was taped on August 14, 1965 and broadcast on September 12, 1965. The Beatles recorded the song on June 17, 1965 in 13 takes. The first 12 takes were evidently used to work out the arrangement; the master was take 13, the only take with vocals. It was mixed the following day. The Beatles almost recorded a song by their engineer Norman Smith, but realized that Starr didn't yet have a vocal on Help!, and so "Act Naturally" was recorded instead, the last cover they recorded until the Get Back/Let It Be sessions in 1969. Smith later had some success as a performer, using the name Hurricane Smith. In 1973 his song "Oh Babe, What Would You Say?" reached 3 on the Billboard Pop Singles chart in the U.S. Because Capitol Records' version of the Help! album included only the songs that appeared in the movie, plus incidental music from the film, the label held back "Yesterday" and "Act Naturally" and issued them initially as a non-LP single. As the B-side of the U.S. single, "Act Naturally" peaked at #47 in October 1965. The two songs made their first American album appearance on Yesterday and Today, released in the U.S. on June 20, 1966. When the single was reissued on Apple Records in 1971, "Act Naturally" had the "full apple" side and "Yesterday" ended up on the "sliced apple" side. That is because "Act Naturally" was the intended A-side and has always been listed as such in Capitol's files. Lyrics: They're gonna put me in the movies they're gonna make a big star out of me We'll make a film about a man that's sad and lonely and all I gotta do is act naturally Well, I'll bet you I'm gonna be a big star might win an Oscar you can never tell the movies gonna make me a big star 'Cause I can play the part so well Well I hope you come and see me in the movies then I know that you will plainly see The biggest fool that ever hit the big time and all I gotta do is act naturally We'll make the scene about a man that's sad and lonely and beggin down upon his bended knee I'll play the part but I won't need rehearsal all I gotta do is act naturally Well, I'll bet you I'm gonna be a big star might win an Oscar you can never tell the movies gonna make me a big star 'Cause I can play the part so well Well I hope you come and see me in the movies then I know that you will plainly see The biggest fool that ever hit the big time and all I gotta do is act naturally
